The WaPo's/Fox News' Charles Krauthammer, as usual, pleading the case for poor little Israel - and, as usual, with nothing but scorn for international law and human-rights as they might apply to Arabs. And as for those human-rights activists who were aboard the Turkish ship that tried to run the Israeli blockade of Gaza (and please, let's dispense with the nonsense: the vast majority of them were indeed human-rights activists willing to risk their lives on behalf of the people of Gaza) . . . well, according to CK, we should number them among the "terror sympathizers and useful idiots."
But in the final paragraph, CK goes way over the top, throwing down the ultimate trump-card:
Could CK could ever admit even in the slightest the extent to which Israel's actions and policies since 1948 have been calculated to terrorize the Arabs - and the Palestinians in particular - into submission? No, never. It's high time that he point the terror sympathizer/useful idiot finger at himself.
But in the final paragraph, CK goes way over the top, throwing down the ultimate trump-card:
The world is tired of these troublesome Jews, 6 million -- that number again -- hard by the Mediterranean, refusing every invitation to national suicide. For which they are relentlessly demonized, ghettoized and constrained from defending themselves, even as the more committed anti-Zionists -- Iranian in particular -- openly prepare a more final solution.All the guilt-button buzz words are there: six million, ghetto, troublesome Jews, Iranian, and final solution. No mention, of course, of the Holocaust survivor who was among the activists.
