And I think that was a mistake. In every other "-cide" crime, there is always actual killing or attempted killing. Successful "-cide" crimes are punished more severely than attempted "-cide" crimes. Thus, we automatically assume that genocide involves killing, and set our moral condemnation accordingly. It is confusing to have a set of crimes, not all of which involve actual or even attempted killing, lumped together under a single term, and doubly so when that term implies killing.

There was a time when we expected the truth of accusations to be tested by neutral third parties. Happily, those days are gone. One need only point a finger, and the wretches will be burned at the stake. As will anyone who suggests that the truth of accusations should be tested.

Appropriate for those countries which are now leased out, like to a tenement or pelting farm. On At Trump summit, Netanyahu’s call for ‘war with Iran’ sparks backlash from Tehran I don't know anything about this Tapper person, so I can't judge how seriously he meant it. But I do rather regret the message of the piece. It says "They're all anti-Semites, and some are hypocrites as well". I would prefer something that said "Omar was right. Nothing anti-Semitic about what she said". On Benjamins Netanyahu and Gantz can’t save Israel from the progressive American abandonment "It is legal and moral," Zionists don't know that legal and moral are not the same thing.

On Don’t blame the Israel lobby on Christians and Republicans "you don’t have to pay politicians to follow their conscience and do the right thing. " Thanks, Annie. That line gave me a chuckle. On Don’t blame the Israel lobby on Christians and Republicans "They don’t give their prospective victim a theology exam first. " They really should. Then they could beat up Muslims for being Muslims, and Sikhs for failing the exam.
