Financial Times piece about Simcha Hochman— a dancing Hasid who “believes that music and dance can help people to connect with God”– speaking to David Vajda. Why do editors run this sort of material without any intervention? Imagine if religious Christians were dancing on tanks firing on Baghdad?
Some of my friends even took their van into the fighting zone during the 2006 Lebanon war. They jumped on an Israeli tank, started dancing on it, put Na Nach beanies on the soldiers’ heads and stickers on the tank.
Glorifying a war in which hundreds were killed, including dozens of Lebanese children hit in a building at Qana; and Hezbollah is still regnant across the south of Lebanon. I don’t understand why this stuff gets published.
The paper is on sale for £1bn. Perhaps it believes in the nonsense that the few Jewish zillionaires, compared to the vastly more non-Jewish zillionaires, really do have the total wealth our media tells us they do but are committed zionists as well.
It gets published because these people are white and live in a country many consider to be a Western country. In short: they are us.
Those foreign brown people dying are just weird so let’s not focus on them, at all.

MY COMMENT: Perhaps it’s being printed because it is churned out by the Israeli propaganda machine and distributed to a very receptive mainstream/corporate media free of charge!
I certain there were many articles back in the 1930s about the wonderful things going on in Germany simply because Goebbels and his underlings churned them out.

MY COMMENT: That’s one of the reasons I’m thinking about becoming a Whirling Dervish. Another reason is that I think it might make me more of a “chick magnet”.
“Every day I count wasted in which there has been no dancing.” — Friedrich Nietzsche.
“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” — Friedrich Nietzsche.

PHIL- “Imagine if religious Christians were dancing on tanks firing on Baghdad?”
What tanks? I saw a van, but no tanks.
“I don’t understand why this stuff gets published.”
You don’t understand why the media publishes elite propaganda? Good lord, man, it is what the media does to earn a profit. And the biggest lie of all is that there is such a thing as “objective” journalism.
