If you've been reading around a bit over the weekend, you may have run across a fresh new insanity from egregious squeezebag Alan Dershowitz.
Shorter version: If you can't get out of the way, sucks to be you.
Mainly, using the same kind of reasoning OBL did when targeting the WTC to absolve Israel from guilt in targeting civilian areas of Lebanon. That if the innocent didn't or couldn't evacuate the area, they are no longer innocent.
Well, other than calling Dershowitz a tool, and other manner of nasty, I just want to link to this Grade-A World Class Takedown and destruction of Prince of Abso-Fucking-Nobody Alan Dershowitz by the Kung Fu Monkey. Truly breathtaking.
Go read, it's short and not only features a simple, quick and plainspoken dissolution of the aforementioned cobag, but a wonderful, Only In New-York style bartending story that's worth the trip. Go.

Thanks for the link-- great story. Out of curiousity, what is your stance on Israel and Lebanon? I can't really tell from your post-- pretty clear that you don't like Dershowitz, but do you think Israel is being disproportionate?
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of with the Editors and the Sadly, No guys on this.
ReplyDeleteHezbollah are evil fucks. Terrorists. They attacked Israel.
Israel bombed the shit out of civilian targets, and continues to do so. That isn't warfare, it's either genocide or terrorism. It serves Hezbollah. It makes Israel, at least the IDF, look like right bastards (which they probably are)
The 'who started it' game can be stretched back to infinity. Like the cycle of abuse, it's gotta be broken, either by one of the participants or by a 3rd party. But as with your parents 'he started it' gets nobody anywhere.
As they say, eye for an eye leaves everybody blind. I've never been particularly knowledgeable about the ME, but like the guys I mentioned up above, it seems as if there's plenty of room in hell for everybody involved.
Is it possible for no one to be on the right side?
as The Editors said, if I had suggestions for a way to un-shit this bed, I'd be all over it. But I'm not that kind of genius; at this point, I simply hope there's somebody involved somewhere who can slow down the reactor before i goes critical and it actually does turn into a full fledged World War, whatever number you want to paste on it.
Because that's what it feels like to me. Nobody's going to back down until after the nukes are launched.
And I'm an optimistic sort.
