Stop the War. No! Not that one!

leave a comment »

Stop the War reports again that it is not against war as such:

“Iranian activist Shirin Shafaie said the West had shown “double standards” in previous conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

She said: “Double standards are the worst enemy of justice and injustice is the worst enemy of peace.”

Which makes what follows particularly amusing.

“We must make sure history doesn’t repeat itself.

“We are here to make sure there is not another war anywhere in the world, which is led by America or European countries.“”

Because the main problem with this war business is that America and Europe are hogging it.

The popularity of Jews who “tell the truth” about other Jews

leave a comment »

“…the popularity of the Jew who “tells the truth about Jews” is rarely the brilliance of their sociological or pseudopsychological theories. Rather, it is that they licence Jew haters to say the thing that they have been inhibited from saying, since the Holocaust. Namely: that Jews both encourage and deserve persecution.”

Why Gil Troy is a Zionist

with one comment

Gil Troy is courageously advocating for what should – in the form he espouses – be understood as a rather ordinary and explicable form of nationalism, but which instead sends some Greens weirdly feverish: Zionism.
