It's in the P-I

Today's Seattle Post-Intelligencer has a glowing tribute to local plutocrat Stimson Bullitt, who has apparently made numerous contributions to Seattle during his 85 years. The P-I concludes its profile with this howling mischaracterization:

Bullitt still likes to communicate through his writing today. Recently, he penned a few columns for local newspapers, in which he opposed the war in Iraq and advocated for a free Palestinian country.
In fact, Bullitt's op-ed which appeared in the P-I on January 2, 2004, did not "advocate for a free Palestinian country", it advocated ending the state of Israel. Apparently the Seattle Post-Intelligencer doesn't understand the difference.

That's because there is no difference. The Arab demand for a second Arab state in mandatory Palestine is simply a tool in the campaign to destroy Israel, and everyone knows it, even if some USAn and Israeli politicians like to pretend otherwise.

The end of Israel is just one step in the march to Islamicize the world. After the Jews comes Christianity.

Perhaps he meant "juden frei."
