Israel/Sri Lanka comparison is important

I don’t have time to do the math here, but you should read Bill Weinberg’s smart post comparing Israel’s conduct in Gaza with Sri Lanka’s government’s massacring of 20-30,000 Tamils last year. Makes Israel look abstemious. Judge Goldstone scored the failure of the int’l community to do jack about Sri Lanka at Yale 2 weeks back. Of course we single Israel out. Yes we do. The reasons are obvious. Don’t have time to spell them out here. It is justifiable but it does mean that when we remove the beam from our eye, we need to get on the beam in others’.
