Richard Cohen, "Israel’s moral argument is on the line": Sorry, Dick, It's Your Morality That I Question!

On the eve of Netanyahu's speech before Congress, Richard Cohen, in a Washington Post opinion piece entitled "Israel’s moral argument is on the line," writes:

"Iran may or may not be the existential threat to Israel that Netanyahu insists it is. But a lessening of U.S. support for Israel certainly would be. With an indifferent America, Israel would become a lonely, frightening place. Its chief export would not be high tech, but people looking to get out — Jews once more on the go. This is hardly the settlements policy that Netanyahu intends."

"Iran may or may not be the existential threat to Israel that Netanyahu insists it is"? Forgive me for repeating myself, but when a regime that

• stones to death women accused of adultery,
• hangs homosexuals,
• persecutes Baha'is,
• oppresses Kurds,
• abuses Sunni Muslims,
• funds Hezbollah,
• funds Hamas,
• supports Assad,
• brutally quashes political opposition, 
• murders Jews in distant Argentina,
• and persistently calls for the annihilation of Israel,

is being given the right by Obama to manufacture nuclear weapons within a decade, this is not a threat to Israel? Add to all this the fact that Obama is not even attempting to rein in Iran's development of ICBMs.

With an indifferent America, Jews would be flocking to leave Israel? Here, I must rein myself in and avoid the use of expletives. Suffice it to say, that since Israel declared its independence n 1948, it has constantly faced existential threats and war, and we're still standing. Sorry to disappoint you, Dick, my family and I are not leaving, no matter what you say!
