NOVANEWS
Has J Street’s ridiculous reaction to the armed take-over of the Rachel Corrie been properly appreciated or responded to? Not that I know of. I’m in Gaza, and so dunking Jeremy Ben-Ami’s head in a toilet bowl, the only appropriate retaliation to that twerp’s reaction to Israeli war crimes in Gazan sea-lanes, will not be feasible in the short-term. Ha’aretz reported that the “Army says peaceful takeover takes place.” J Street, now the world’s premier anti-anti-Zionist movement, existing solely to shore up American support for Jewish ethnocracy in the Middle East, obediently twitted: “#flotilla peacefully taken over by IDF, redirected to Ashdod.” Imagine. I take out an assault rifle, put on a balaclava, and start issuing orders to a Nobel Peace Prize winner, political figures from a Southeast Asian country, and a former high official in the United Nations. Because they don’t forcefully resist, aware that the Israeli army gunned down the brave resisters on the Mavi Marmara a couple days before, the army’s press flacks blare about their “peaceful takeover.”
Attn: American liberalism. Absence of resistance does not = “peaceful.”
And then here is lynch, the latest entry in the hasbara dictionary. In the American South, lynching meant hanging up a black person on a tree and strangling them to death, burning them alive, or breaking their neck. In Israel, “lynching” refers to when people under armed assault by jackbooted commandos disarm those commandos, and after hitting them in self-defense, treat their wounds (the Israeli press office does more of our work for us in pissing on the horrible memory of white terrorism in the South against blacks, in line with the Zionist SOP of instrumentalizing tragedy, and in the process maybe gets us more allies).
Here is Udi Aloni, capturing the empathy probably displayed by those who treated the soldiers’ wounds:
Suppose I were a warrior in the best commando unit in the world, trained to fight its most atrocious enemy. Suppose that instead of defending my country I would be dropped in the darkness of night from a combat helicopter outside the territorial waters of Israel, in order to perform a takeover of a civilian unarmed ship which carries humanitarian aid to the besieged. And suppose that those civilians on board the ship, who were either determined or frightened by the mask on my face, clouded with tear gas, decided to attack me with rods and knives. Then it is plausible that I too would open fire, thinking, “who the hell sent me to become a murderer against my will?”
Aloni relieves the commandoes of a lot of their responsibility. Maybe a little more than he should. But the question stands, and extends to dimwit liberal Zionists whose applause for “peace” is really a call for castrating resistance. Really Jeremy. The problem is with the people your tax-money goes to, not the ones dying from the bullets it pays for. The peace of non-resistance isn’t far from the peace of the graveyard.
