Jonah Goldberg on the Jerusalem seminary attack:
....the slaughter, and the reaction to it, is a perfect illustration of why discussion of Israel is so confused.
A Palestinian opens fire on mostly teenage students studying in a library. The Hamas government in Gaza applauds the shooting and Palestinians take to the street to celebrate. Meanwhile, human rights groups say that Israel must continue to supply water, electricity and healthcare to the same Palestinians rejoicing in the street. To do otherwise is "collective punishment."
Propping up an enemy committed to your total destruction just strikes me as total folly...
The United State's complicity in perpetuating this farce is gross - see here .
May I apply one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite philosophers ?
Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.
- Ayn Rand
We could use Ayn right around now, incidentally.
In a soundbite world, no one can (or cares to)hear a philosopher.
ReplyDeleteThe results of a world missing philosophy?
Just look around you.
I also see the result of a world that doesn't pay any attention to history books (well, except maybe the Communist Manifesto). Rigatoni light bulbs, solar panels, and multiculturalism will be the death of us all. For some reason these things are more important than, oh, say...national security.
ReplyDeleteI predict in the next five to ten years, instead of the Puerto Rican Day Parade, or Salute to Israel Parade along Fifth Avenue, we'll ultimately end up with a "Salute to Our Friends, Hamas" Parade, because the liberals shits see fit to embrace and be nice to them...they're people too, of course.
For EVERY missile shot into Israel ONE missile should be returned to the area as close as possible to the shooter. Tit for tat. Every single missile should be returned. Period.
ReplyDeleteTreat them like adults, if they kill, they will be killed. That is the only way they will learn. Screw public opinion, force them to see the truth, or let them be damned.
