I really have nothing to add to this.

  1. A blood feud. In a blood feud both sides commit atrocities.

    1. Unquestionably true, Owen. It is the whitewashing that seems to accompany this one that is so disheartening.

    2. The party creating the real carnage, the mass casualties, the destruction of essential civilian infrastructure - water supply, electrical grid, sewers and sanitation - is OUR ally, the one Canada backs unquestioningly in the General Assembly. And the federal government brands those critical of our ally and who call for economic pressure to be brought to bear as anti-Semites. That's our government, our Liberal government.

    3. And, of course, nothing could be further from the truth. As your post today makes clear, Mound, one can be critical of Israel without being anti-Semitic.

  2. What does it say about a society when the most balanced and insightful observations are coming from comedians? imagine what Carlin could have done with this raw material.

    1. As I have said before, John, both Carlin and Orwell are voices we desperately need today.
