A pragmatist is a person who approaches problems, decisions, and beliefs based on practical, real-world results rather than abstract theories, ideals, or emotions.

When it comes to the Middle East, there is no shortage of emotional responses, theories and ideals. I understand those points of view and while I certainly do NOT agree with such emotional anti Semitic views as expressed by the vast majority of the liberals, I DO stand with Israel, the Jewish people and Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Netanyahu has wisely stated, “If Israel’s enemies put down their weapons today, there would be peace, If Israel put down her weapons today, there would be no Israel.” That is a very pragmatic view. It is based in historical reality. Since 1948 when Israel officially became a nation, they have wanted to live peacefully with their neighbors, but the fact remains, Israel’s neighbors have, for the most part, wanted Israel eliminated.
