"It's a verbal continuation of the same strategy, one that is not only morally bankrupt, but defies logic. Kids who've just barely become teens are murdered at their bar mitzvah because from 1947 to 1967 no Arab state created Palestine, and since then Israel has done the same. It's like the plot from a bad David Lynch movie that no one will ever understand, but still has to watch every day. 'As Ismail Haniya, a Hamas leader, said in The Washington Post, Palestinians have Israelis on the run now because they have found their weak spot. Jews, he said, "love life more than any other people, and they prefer not to die." So Palestinian suicide bombers are ideal for dealing with them. That is really sick.' I'm reminded of a quote from some Taliban or Al Qaeda member back in October. It was something about how the Taliban would win because 'Americans love life, and we love death.' Be careful what you wish for." Read the whole thing. Like I say, too incisive. I'm a blunt instrument kind of guy myself... |
