Slouching Towards Bethlehem

by Peter Fruchter, August 15, 2006


During a recent interview on British Television, Benjamin Netanyahu was
asked "How come so many more Lebanese have been killed [in the conflict
with Hezbollah] than Israelis?"

Netanyahu's reply: ".. in World War II more Germans were killed than
British and Americans combined, but there is no doubt in anyone's mind
that the war was caused by Germany's aggression. And in response to
the German blitz on London, the British wiped out the entire city of
Dresden, burning to death more German civilians than the number of
people killed in Hiroshima. Moreover, I could remind you that in 1944,
when the R.A.F. tried to bomb the Gestapo Headquarters in Copenhagen,
some of the bombs missed their target and fell on a Danish children's
hospital, killing 83 little children. Perhaps you have another
question?"

How humiliating. Poor interviewer.


Indeed. Listening to the responses of a complete sociopath is excruciating. Netanyahu = Manson in a suit.

The humiliation was entirely deserved, however. Had the interviewer
not been so inadequate he would not have asked such a silly question.
On the subject of casualties, he would indeed have asked another
question. A better question.

What the interviewer ought to have asked is this: How is it that
Hezbollah, considered a terrorist targeter of innocent civilians,
killed more Israeli soldiers than Israeli civilians - whereas the
top-notch I.D.F. military, although claiming to avoid targeting
innocent civilians, wound up killing more Lebanese civilians than
Hezbollah combatants? Why should we not conclude, by the numbers, that
I.D.F. is the terrorist organization - and that Hezbollah is the
legitimate military?

Now that would have been a question worth asking. And I don't know
what Netanyahu's answer would have been. But I do know that answering
this question is critical. Even though nobody asked.

The answer is that Hizb'ullah wasn't actually trying to kill civilians. If you weren't a complete zioNazi shill you'd understand that.

So simple, the solution. Remember Sadat. Remember the Palestinian
people. Recognize Israel.
