Now Playing: "Take Five" by the Dave Brubeck Quartet
There's many such examples of post-election madness to choose from, but Charles Johnson points us to this gem of Euro-degeneracy when it comes to dealing with the Car Swarm People. Jonathan Steele, writing in the Guardian Unlimited, says (emphasis added by Johnson):
Above all, Europe should not get hung up on the wrong issues, like armed resistance and the "war on terror". Murdering a Palestinian politician by a long-range attack that is bound also to kill innocent civilians is morally and legally no better than a suicide bomb on a bus. Hamas's refusal to give formal recognition of Israel's right to exist should also not be seen by Europe as an urgent problem. History and international politics do not march in tidy simultaneous steps. For decades Israel refused even to recognise the existence of the Palestinian people, just as Turkey did not recognise the Kurds. Until 15 years ago Palestinians had to be smuggled to international summits as part of Jordan’s delegation. It is less than that since the Israeli government accepted the goal of a Palestinian state.Respect? For overwhelmingly electing a terrorist organization of Jew-killers to lead their country?
Hamas may eventually disarm itself and recognise Israel. That will be the end of the process of establishing a just modus vivendi for Israelis and Palestinians in the Middle East. It cannot be the first step. Today’s priority is to accept that Palestinians have spoken freely. They deserve respect and support.
What the fuck's the matter with you?
