A Pakistani guy at work told me about those Hazara protests. When he told me about it, I didn't decide that Hazaras are horrible, instead I decided that they are awesome protesters! I guess this is because I'm not a propagandist.

Interestingly, nobody has left a comment on Goldberg's post, yet there are (now) three here, which leads me to believe that nobody cares much about what he has to say.

In fairness to Jeffrey Goldberg ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow it hurts, I think that 2009 post is from before when he allowed comments.

Should we also mention Emmett Till's mother, who insisted on an open-casket service so the world could see what racists had done to her son?

Nice. Yes, her moral failings were not of great interest to many people.

There's a Joseph Goebbels quote from 1941 that's almost word-for-word what Goldberg wrote. It's really funny/horrible to see how propaganda always runs in the same grooves. Or maybe it's just something about people whose last names start with G.

Nicely done, Jon & commenters.

this is actually an awesome idea for warfare in general- the UN should declare an international law of war that both countries have to pile up all the corpses as the war proceeds and serially publish the pictures internationally- this may be the one radical idea that will finally end mass war! (although i heard it wasnt much of a deterrent in WWI...

It takes a real kind of scumbag to try to call out someone for trying to show the world the horrors they are living through. I suppose after 9/11 we should just never have mentioned it again and hid all the footage of the burning, collapsing tower and the 3000 people inside, instead of playing it as many times as possible on every channel in existence (remember how there was no channel left not either playing a feed of CNN, CSPAN, or carrying their own coverage of the events?).

Anyway, Goldberg is an ass who cares about one thing - the right of the Israelis to beat down the people they have occupied for decades without a peep of reproval from anyone - most especially those being massacred and beaten. This is pathological.

gul: AGREED!

The PHRAZ THAT PAYZ here is "Rats in the sewer". Once the Palestinians are commonly described as "Rats in the sewer" by The Jewish People, then one can rest assured that the world turns and what goes around comes around.

"It's really funny/horrible to see how propaganda always runs in the same grooves."

They all have the same problem--members of group A are oppressing/killing members of group B, so members of group A have to point out the uniquely awful nature of the B group. Sometimes group B is also doing bad things to innocent A's--in that case it might be helpful if the propagandists from both sides just got together and divvied up the arguments.

This is going to be very useful for me thank you very much for posting
