In the Dark All Cats Are BlackThursday 27 Feb 2003

I had hoped that the level of mentation here would be a little higher than it is on IsraelInsider, but evidently it isn't.
The "End The Occupation" cartoon is brilliant. The "Born To Kill" slogan is just as common on the uniform jackets or helmets of Israeli soldiers as it is on American (or indeed any other) ones. It has more to do with earning brownie points with the sergeants than it does with scaring the ostensible enemy, usually, I imagine.
Only two of the "atrocity" photos linked to above actually show soldiers doing nasty things. The others show women and children mugging for the camera.
Armchair psychoanalysis of people you dislike is tedious, especially when you hide your identity. It is simply not the case that everyone who finds Israeli ( or indeed, Jewish ) behaviour tedious is an "anti-Semite".
And in any case "anti-Semitism" didn't fall out of the sky one day on Wilhelm Marr's head. It was the product of millenia of Jews being USED by Christian rulers to do their dirty work. And being FORCED to do it by their own RABBIS. Read the wonderfully titled "Class Struggle in the Pale" some time and you'll understand what Ber Borochov was talking about, "G-d Squad"!
