Well Lou, It continues because they have gotten away with it once again. I have just listened to the BBC world service's radio documentary followed by "expert" testimony and you can easily see why another atrocity has been perpetrated without major cost to Israel. What almost amuses me though is to read and listen to the right wing apologists talk about the pasting that Israel is taking in the media. "Which media?" I wonder - not the BBC, SBS, ABC, CNN, Sky nor any of the Murdoch outlets. Mark Regev has been all over the media. To listen to him one would think that that Israel had just successfully repelled a Normandy type landing. I also read the New republic piece you posted. That reveals that the major fault line within Zionism is like something around disputes around etiquette. Netanyahu it would seem is the kind of coarse boor who farts at the table and eats with his hands - a sort of Borat who dumps shit on the table; ooutrageous behaviour that polite society would not tolerate. Here the "moral high ground" consists in knowing which fork to use and in what order. I said above they got away with it without major cost. I should amend that to say that this in the short term. Gradually the weight of atrocity after atrocity is turning from quantity into quality. The Zionists must massacre and that imperative cannot be hidden forever - not even by Murdoch. So the pressure mounts ever more on the collaborators in Cairo, Medina and Amman. There, IMHO, rather than in the States is where the break will come. comradely Gary ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
