Impressive Success For Israel's Violent Morons
As I've mentioned recently, I'm a connoisseur of humanity's violent morons, especially one particular maneuver of theirs: implying that their own domestic "enemies" are somehow in league with their country's foreign "enemies." The best part about this is that idiots have been doing this for 15,000 years, yet each new crop of cretins proudly presents it as their own, clever invention.
Recently, though, I'd been growing concerned. Iraq's violent morons have been doing a fantastic job at this, as have America's and England's. But what about Israel's hate-filled nitwits? Have they been letting down their allies in the League Of International Imbeciles?
No!
Just today, Haaretz reported this:
[Israel's Acting Prime Minister Ehud] Olmert strongly criticized Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that he had not learned any lessons from the atmosphere of incitement that preceded the assassination of then prime minister Yitzhak Rabin.Olmert's statements followed the publication of an image on Likud's unofficial Website in which the acting prime minister appeared wearing a green cap with the Hamas logo on it. "I thought he would have learned the lesson," Olmert said.
So, kudos to Israel's bloodthirsty nincompoops. Working together with their compatriots overseas, they're making the world the hideous nightmare we've always hoped it could be.
P.S. I can't find this cartoon, but you have any idea where it is, I'd love to add it to my small, private museum of human depravity.
Posted at March 9, 2006 05:57 PM | TrackBackThere's no reason a museum of human depravity should be small, Jon, even if private. That's the problem with you liberals, you just refuse to look at the big picture.
Posted by: Aaron at March 9, 2006 06:44 PMAaron, you're completely right. But in my defense, it's more a storage problem rather than a reluctance to consider all the possible exhibits.
Posted by: Jonathan Schwarz at March 9, 2006 10:01 PMJon - Make it a virtual museum, and just get a bigger hard drive, and/or use the external storage options that are being offered these days.
Posted by: Freddy the Shreddder at March 10, 2006 10:07 AMWhat does the Hamas logo look like?
Just curious for edification purposes.
PS - you suck

I suppose you've noticed Frist did basically the same thing yesterday. Senator Feingold's censure resolution makes him a fellow traveler of the Iranian leadership, etc.
Sigh. Frist ought to go back to diagnosing people via videotape.
