. . . Hamas Executes Two I'm not arguing the merits of the death penalty. I'm not even suggesting that European protests against US policy are wrong. But I'm always surprised at how easily people compartmentalize their dislike and focus it against selective targets. I guess my 'hypocrisy antennae' are vibrated by the way the European left's anger is often so selectively focussed. Perhaps my faith in the good heartedness of people will be reenergized when I see 200,000 protestors take to the streets of Paris to demonstrate against the Hamas regime, and against other Arab governments as well, for their callous disregard of European sentiment against executions. |

HOLY CARP!!!
|
Everyone knows that the US is an evil, imperialistic power bent on world domination, and that Hamas is an association of courageous freedom fighters. Geez. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

I am the grey one

Also, everyone knows the potential consequences of protesting the US as opposed to protesting Hamas. |
