Hopefully the US government can turn over at least a tiny corner of a new leaf.... uh-oh -- that last sentence means NO MORE PILSNERS tonight for me.

'We're all Israelis now' is true only in the sense that now we - just like the Israelis - don't mind killing a few thousand or million Arabs and other assorted ethnicities every few years or when it really matters like right before an election... Yea, we've been killing little brown people all around the world for a long time, and that's terrible and atrocious, but by my recollection we've only recently jumped into the Semitic hornets nest with guns and tanks. Reagan thought about it, and then thought better of it. Bush I really opened the can of worms, but we could have kept the lid on it by simply ending the horrible sanctions. Bush II, with his invasion and occupation of Iraq, has permanently designated us as Israelis to most of the world. It's not enough that we pay out huge sums to Israel in foreign and military aid (to say nothing of loan guarantees), nor that always protect them at the UN or in other international discussions, but now we picked up a rifle and are actively firing at their cousins. And that's were it gets real bloody for a really long time.... Hey, Jim,

It worked out well for them, esp. since none of them shed any blood in Iraq. Wes - on the “we’re all Israelis now” - that was the theme that many of the neoconservatives took right after 9/11.

On the ancient Assyrian reference - maybe someone should translate that poem by Keats (?) into both Arabic and Hebrew.... OK - maybe that poem wasn't about the Assyrians - but about some long dead middle Eastern king.... Dirk - I hope the missiles from Lebanon were flukes, not the breaking of the dam.

The folks in charge will not be happy until the entire region erupts into the kind of bloody chaos that would make the carvers of heads on gibbets in the stone temples of Assyria blush. Economic clusterboinks demand their equal and covalent geo-political clusterboinks because if everybody is going to be broke then one might as well enjoy a little gunplay and bloodlust.

Sabin Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:09:47 +0000 http://jimbovard.com/blog/?p=643#comment-119600 Why should the Israelis conduct themselves any differently than their friends the Americans who solved the proportionality problem by simply refusing to keep track of Iraqi deaths.....while sneaking American coffins in under cover of darkness. Needless to say, the various and sundry Satraps of Despotic Middle Eastern Countries are pleased as punch that the Palestinians are taking another shot for the team. After all, if there were no Israelis around to draw fire, the attention of angry masses would fall on the despots and this is bad for business. But wait, Condi is going to bring all these true-believers together and stinkeye them into a cease fire so that Halevi's "Israel at its Best" stays bestest.
