Two Small Words on What's Going With 'The Situation'

When you're part of a group who chants 'Intifada Revolution/There is only one solution,' whether or not you realize that that's deliberately channeling Hitler's final solution, that's what literally hundreds of millions of antisemites hear. So if you're part of a group which does that, you might or might not be an antisemite, but if you don't dissociate yourselves from the group that organizes the protest, you're at very least an idiot.

If there ever were a ceasefire with Hamas (and there won't be, and if there is, not one that isn't broken a hundred times...), the more chance there is of full scale war with Hezbollah, an organization that created a dictatorship in south of Lebanon in all but name with weaponry that makes Hamas look like slingshots. That's what it means to work together in the 'Axis of Resistance.' The quieter one front gets, the louder the other gets. The more numb people grow to Gaza, the more fresh outrage can be generated by anything that happens in South Lebanon. The whole point of this operation is to keep Israel at war perpetually until world public opinion hemorrhages totally, Israel loses its economic opportunities, its sponsors lose their credibility, and their dictatorial backers gain the prestige lost by democracies like the US and EU. The whole point is to paint the entirety of the Israeli populace, and the US populace, as one monolithic block of imperialism, thereby driving a billion progressive idealists around the world into the arms of political Islamists that would set their allies on fire the moment they gain power over them.

Stay liberal, but do not be naive.
