You have to see this. It is the best journalism yet on the American response to Gaza. Period.
An amazing video by Max Blumenthal/Alternet called, "Bomb a Ghetto, Raise a Cheer," from the demonstration of pro-Israel Jews in New York the other day. (Boy did I pick the wrong demonstration!) Blumenthal is simply off the hook. "Where do you draw the line on civilian casualties?" he asks again and again. They never draw the line. "Useless nothings," one sign calls Palestinians. The longhaired kid with the Kick Hamas' Ass poster explains that Israel is incredibly careful about targeting terrorists. When a woman says that Muslims "slash" their children ceremonially, Blumenthal says, "A religious ceremony?" Yes. Blumenthal says, "My parents had a mohel [rabbi who performs circumcisions] slash my penis." Genius. The woman is dumbfounded, then says that's inappropriate analogy. "It made it look better," Blumenthal says with drop-dead satirical rapier thrust.
Then a girl says it's the second Holocaust, and we're being persecuted all over again, and Blumenthal has fully exposed the craziness behind the Jewish response to Gaza.
