Lowlife Roger Cohen compares Shas to Hezbullah, Muslim Brotherhood, AKP

Yes, really.
Hezbollah is a political party with a militia. That’s a big problem. Israel’s ultra-Orthodox Shas party has an outsized influence over Israel because of coalition politics. That’s a problem. The Muslim Brotherhood will loom large in a free Egypt because it has an organizational head start. That may be a problem. Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party is a brilliant political machine with a ruthless bent. That’s a problem, too.
Funny. I don't think Shas even has a 'military wing.'

Nice article. Still my favorite is BERNARD AVISHAI's:

In Roger Cohen's world, only Jewish fundamentalists throw a question mark on Israel's democracy.

As for the rest, they're just peaceable moderates the West needs to come to terms with.

Now you understand the reasoning behind his inane comparisons.

Which are far off the mark and invert reality in the Middle East.

What could go wrong indeed

What a lunkhead. There is no comparison of Shas, an elected political party, with terrorists groups who plot to kill innocents... Shame on roger cohen...

I said of Libya in an earlier column: Be ruthless or stay out. So now the West is in, be ruthless. Arm the resurgent rebels. Incapacitate Qaddafi. Do everything short of putting troops on the ground. Qaddafi, as President Obama has said, “must leave.” So that Libya can be an Arab country that is imperfect but open.

3x wrong, Roggie
