The Hackenblog has moved to http://hackenblog.hackenbush.org/ or www.hackenblog.com.Please update your links, thank you.[Previous entry: "Johnny Carson RIP (Hi-Yo!)"] [Main Index] [Next entry: "No on Gonzales"] 01/25/2005 Entry: "Altercation, 20050125, Palestine" As usual, Eric sums it up nicely. "Consciencelessness of a Conservative: Is Little Roy really that thick? Look, unlike. Mr. Moral Outrage, I’m a Jew, but I don’t expect Arabs to pay tribute to my people’s suffering while Jews, in the form of Israel and its supporters and in this I include myself—are causing much of theirs. Would Andrew want to go to a service in honor of the suffering of gay bashing bigots? (Wait, don’t answer that. Would a gay person who didn’t regularly offer his political support to gay bashing bigots want to go?) Anyway, I’m sure what I’m saying will be twisted beyond recognition, and so I suppose that makes it stupid to do, but I’m sorry. The Palestinians have also suffered because of the Holocaust. They lost their homeland as the world in the form of the United Nations reacted to European crimes by awarding half of Palestine to the Zionists. They call this the "Nakba" or the "Catastrophe." To ask Arabs to participate in a ceremony that does not recognize their own suffering but implicitly endorses the view that caused their catastrophe is morally idiotic - which is why, I guess, I’m not surprised Andrew’s doing it."
