"But I don’t think many Americans understand why so many folks in the Middle East hate us so very much; today we’re going to engage in a thought exercise designed to help you understand just where Palestinians are coming from."
Thought exercise? No, just good old blame Israel 24-7. Just like always. The diary then proceeds to give the entire Palestinian side as the title implies.
On Walking Miles In Palestinian Shoes, Or, The Dispassionate Mirror Speaks

Strongly in favour of Palestine good.... Israel bad. I'm guessing it will remain that way because after all, that's the majority Kossack view. And now, at Yom Kipper is probably the best time to look at it before Jewish posters weigh in too much
Daily Kos...consistently blaming Israel all the time and never worried about ever walking in her shoes....even after the Fogels or the Palmers or all those who came before.

AND as I checked the swamp one last time before bedtime I see THIS attempt at humour on Yom Kipper
There is An Epic Holocaust Going On*
I don't know what to say. I'm going to bed.
Oh wait. I thought of something. Fuck dKos. Goodnight.
*Update.....65% to 31% in favour of Palestine at this point. Do you know where YOUR friends are?
Disgusting yes Paul but not unexpected. Aside from the flagrant stuff there is an insidious munching around the edges of antisemitism that goes on. Were I a suspicious conspiracist I might suggest that it is purposeful; push the envelope. I have seen the technique on other sites. On one, the site owner actually found the conversation on Stormfront where the nazis were planning the slow but steady infiltration of his lefty/anti-fascist site which was against obvious antisemitism but big on Israeli gov't "crimes."
ReplyDeleteThis hopefully is just a similar example of the kind of mindless inherent good old boy racism/antifeminism crap that caused the boycott and purge in the first place.
But one never knows especially given how acceptable talking points around apartheid and Jewish influence have become in the swamp. I'm a zero tolerance guy; Markos should be too when it comes to this stuff. Instead he has come down on the side of sacrosanct rights for diarists to say pretty much anything short of "shove 'em in the ovens."
