Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We still have time to mess this up!

The revolution will be supervised.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Republicans in disarray!

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

A Senator Walker would also be an insult to reason, rationality, and decency.

This is my second Israel-related post of the day. It’s not my favorite topic, because the rhetoric gets so over the top (not here, I mean in general, and I mean over-the-top even by my standards), but sometimes it goes so far that I just can’t help but be amused. Here’s something Washington Post conservative blogger Jennifer Rubin retweeted:

GILAD!!! He’s free and he’s home in the bosom of his family and his country. Celebrate, Israel, with all the joyous gratitude that fills your hearts, as we all do along with you.

Then round up his captors, the slaughtering, death-worshiping, innocent-butchering, child-sacrificing savages who dip their hands in blood and use women — those who aren’t strapping bombs to their own devils’ spawn and sending them out to meet their seventy-two virgins by taking the lives of the school-bus-riding, heart-drawing, Transformer-doodling, homework-losing children of Others — and their offspring — those who haven’t already been pimped out by their mothers to the murder god — as shields, hiding behind their burkas and cradles like the unmanned animals they are, and throw them not into your prisons, where they can bide until they’re traded by the thousands for another child of Israel, but into the sea, to float there, food for sharks, stargazers, and whatever other oceanic carnivores God has put there for the purpose.

Edgy stuff.

    Hiring Jennifer Rubin to write about the middle east is like hiring David Duke to write about Africa. A lot of the WaPooped writers are smarmy careerists, conventional-wisdom groupies, whatever. Rubin, from what I’ve seen, is a full-on lunatic. Violently insane.

    I think Israel would probably round up Gilad Shalit’s captors quite happily if they could. In fact, I think they would have gladly done that while he was still captured, thus sparing themselves the trouble of ransoming him. And I sorta doubt they’d all be given cushy accommodations at Club Mem.

    So I’m not sure I see the point of this drooling revenge fantasy. Except, oh wait, do you suppose it’s not really about the specific individuals who captured Gilad Shalit? Do you think it’s maybe just about “them” in general, if you know what I mean? Nah. That would be uncivilized.

    i bet not many people here know how the Summer War started. The germans were trying to broker an exchange for lebanese prisoners (including Sameer Kuntar and some druze) between Hizb’ and Israel. There werent many…maybe 7 total.
    The negotiations broke down over Kuntar, a real baddie.
    So Hizb’ snatched a couple Israeli soljahs to restart the negotiations.
    And the Israelis went to war, with Bush’s approval.
    After the war was over, Hizb’ was stronger than ever, more Lebanese hated the US and Israel, and Hizb’ got Kuntar and the other leb prisoners.
    The Israelis got two bodies.
    Hope it was worth it for them.

    Because support for Israel is so unanimous across the political spectrum that they know they can say that shit and get away with it with absolutely no consequences.

    IMO, it’s literally more acceptable in Washington to criticize our own behavior in Iraq and Afghanistan than it is to criticize Israel’s in Lebanon and Palestine’s.

    And it DOES rarely…..very, VERY rarely…..pay off. For example, a couple of weeks ago he had a column about the republican clown parade which was so rife with truthful observations about their various clowneries, and — in my impression at least — so implicit with utter despair over his party’s prospects for next year, that it just like totally made my day. : )

    I’m so sick of Israel. It’s one of those things that started before I was born and continues on. I’ve always hoped that it would end, much like the soviet union.

    They have nukes but won’t subscribe to the nonproliferation treaty.

    They supported apartheid in South Africa long after it was dead.

    They practice apartheid in their own freaking country.

    Israel is a pariah state and should be shoved off into the the sea. It kills children, unarmed people and smashes down their homes and uproots their fruit trees. It kill and imprisons people for the VERY SAME THING THEIR HEROS DID.

    Fuck Israel and their hurt “feelings.”

Honestly, the whole trope is so overplayed at this point that it just bores me. There are lots of legitimate criticisms you can make regarding Israel and its government, but when people try to literally equate Israeli society with South African apartheid it’s like an automatic signal not to take them seriously.

    Unfortunately on the liberal blogs you sometimes find two people of that ilk who stumble into one another and then you get a whole self-congratulatory conversation about how Israel is the worst regime in history. There used to be a lot of diaries on Daily Kos like that.

    Israel has nukes. They have for a long time. They have prosecuted their own citizens for talking about their nuke program. They refuse to participate in the controls that every other civilized country does wrt nukes. They are a rogue state.

    Israel partitions their citizens and differentiates them according to their own peculiar standards. They build walls and tear up others’ property.

    Lastly, this whole thing with Israel produces people who feel free to call Obama a nigger. You stand with them?

    @Steve: The problem is that excessive or insensitive criticism of Israel (which I agree exists and is a problem) is automatically upgraded to “antisemitism” regardless of context. I wouldn’t call Netanyahu a Nazi, or refer to Israel as an apartheid state, or say that “Israel” has an undue influence in America, or use ‘Zionist’ except in the precise sense of the term. However, I don’t think everyone who does those things is an antisemite. People say overheated, insane shit about China, Russia, the US, etc. all the time. Hell, on this and other liberal blogs I regularly read that China basically owns the United States, which is an absurd overstatement. I don’t automatically connect that sentiment to yellow panic, though.

    @eemom: I guess you don’t remember that certain people can have dual citizenship.

    And I guess you don’t know who Max Blumenthal is and never saw his video.

    I can’t link to his video because:

    In 2009, Max Blumenthal posted a short video on YouTube titled “Feeling the Hate in Jerusalem on the Eve of Obama’s Cairo Address”.[2] The video was a montage of footage of drunken Jewish-American youth in Jerusalem in June 2009, shortly before Obama’s Cairo address. The youths used expletives and racist rhetoric about Barack Obama and Arabs, which included referring to Obama as a “nigger” and suggesting that he is “like a terrorist”.[17] According to The Jerusalem Post, the video “garnered massive exposure and caused a firestorm in the media and the Jewish world.”[18] Haaretz described the video as “an overnight Internet sensation”.[17]
    Blumenthal has claimed that the video was “banned” from YouTube, Vimeo and the Huffington Post.[19] The Jewish Telegraphic Agency quoted Blumenthal as stating, “I won’t ascribe motives to Youtube I am unable to confirm, but it is clear there is an active campaign by right-wing Jewish elements to suppress the video by filing a flood of complaints with Youtube.”[20] YouTube said that company policy forbids comment on individual videos, while asserting that its policies are applied “uniformly and not as the result of external pressure.”[20]
    Blumenthal has claimed that he faced death threats for his publication of the video.[21] He identifies the radicalism of the interviewees with the “indoctrination” of Birthright Israel tours, a program in which several of the interviewees were participating.[21] The filmmaker, himself Jewish, had participated in a Birthright tour in 2002.[21]

    Would you agree there’s a certain something extra on the table when the Nazi label is deployed against the principal victims of the Nazis?

    I hesitate to say this for fear of cast into the outer darkness, but the principal victims of the Nazis were people.

    Nazi propaganda was at least as virulent against gays and communists as it was against Jews. Plans to exterminate the entire Polish Slavic population actually preceded similar plans for Jews, but were only intermittently carried out for logistical reasons. In terms of numbers far more Soviet civilians were kiled by Nazis than Jews. In terms of percentages, more of the Gypsy population was murdered by Nazis than Jews.

    Which is not to say that Jews did not suffer horribly, but that others did too. Both as individuals and as peoples.

    Calling one group or another “principal victims of the Nazis” tends to obscure the scale and the breadth of the crimes the Nazis committed and makes it too easy to overlook the suffering of less prominent people.

    So I guess what I’m trying to say is that while Jews are completely entitled to Shoah, the Holocaust belongs to us all.

There are many that can look back through time and wonder why the rest of the world allowed the Jews to be treated thus, and be perfectly oblivious to the fact that right this minute Palestinians everywhere can say the same thing. Israel even killed an American citizen aboard the Mavi Mamara when they tried to break the embargo and deliver humanitarian aid. The Jews then were demonized and turned into üntermenschen by the Nazis, the Palestinians of today are demonized and turned into üntermenschen by the Ziocons. This isn’t an action by all Jews, but by fascist religious nationalist colonials waving the Israeli flag and carrying a Torah. You don’t want to be called a Nazi? Then don’t act like one.

    Good moderate Jews need to denounce this fascism, because it is . And many do. And more need to, because Bibi and his fellow travelers are the ones taking down Israel.

    I think a lot of Americans are gradually becoming aware of the unholy and destructive alliance between Israel and the US.
    The Arab Spring is scraping the veneer off Pax Americana, and underneath there is a lot of suppressed hatred of Israel bubbling to the surface.
    Nine activists were killed aboard the Mavi Marmara–one an american citizen.
    Israel has been a rogue state in the ME with its actions supported unconditionally by the US.
    But as American power declines in MENA, the Israelis are becoming increasingly paranoid and psychotic.

    I’ll answer that just as soon as you acknowledge that a Southern lawyer/governor knows what the fuck he’s talking about when it comes to civil rights in Mississippi.

    Morris Dees would like to have a word with you.

    @Quarks:

    Stargazers?

    Is there a group of murderous pirate astronomers roaming the oceans and the seven seas, or am I completely missing something?

    I think the stargazers thing must be a translation error. It probably makes more sense in the original German.

    @Larv:

    Doh! Blockquote fail. That first para should also be blockquoted.

    Also, in reading the thread I see that the whole Nazi thing has already been done to death. FTR, I don’t think the Israelis are Nazis or anything like, but I do think the stuff quoted in the OP is straying way too close to eliminationist rhetoric for comfort.

    @Larv: thing is, either Pam Geller or Anders Breivik (Utoya massacre) could have written that.
    Its the counter-jihaadi movement, live and well among american movement conservatives and white christian nativists everywhere.
    That is my point about the Israelis….becoming your enemy to beat him is a very bad proposition.
    Starving children for political advantage is what the Nazis did in Warsaw.
    Is that who the Israelis want to be?

    it seems like eemom is arguing that the Israelis have some sort of right to blockade Gaza and starve Palestinian kids, because they are treated badly and because of the holocaust.
    They do not have that “right”.
    Thinking thatey have that right is what makes them into Nazis.

    @Steve: I dunno, Steve, ISTR a certain Anglican archbishop mentioning something about Israeli and apartheid… and he would be in a position to know what apartheid was really all about.

    http://www.veteranstoday.com/2011/06/08/archbishop-tutu-stands-with-marrickville-against-apartheid-israel/

    Are you (and eemom) really all that sure that those comparisons you complain so bitterly about aren’t legitimate?
