Back to posting

I'm back to posting again, and I took the day off to recuperate from the brutal Thanksgiving "vacation".

The Guardian has an interesting article today about an Israeli army checkpoint forcing a Palestinian violinist to play, presumably to prove that he is actually a violinist. The article compares that incident to the Holocaust when the Nazis forced Jewish musicians to play during mass murders. Quite frankly, though, any similarities are superficial only. As much as the Guardian would like to intimate, what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians are nothing like what the Germans did, and is merely the product of the Guardian's rampant anti-Semitism. The Palestinians forced this situation on themselves by deliberately targeting civilians in the terrorist campaign. And if the Guardian really did consider all life as equal, they would be equally outraged by the taking of innocent Israeli life by Palestinians. It's clear, however, that the Guardian regards Israeli life as sub-human.
