‘Noz has given a Vizzini Award, Second Class, to the Jerusalem Post for abuse of “hypocrisy”.
It is surprising, as you would think that the Jerusalem Post would be more familiar with the meaning than any media outlet not owned by Rupert Murdock. 😈

Not to mention that making a comparison between the fate of the Armenians and the fate of the Palestinians is probably *not* where the Jerusalem Post wants to go. Genocide, anybody? 😈

Given that Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire, people should just be quiet before other people remember.
Actually, anyone who supports the current Israeli government and its foreign minister would be wise to never bring up apartheid, ethnic cleansing, or genocide.
No one has claimed that these people were bright.

LOL Yeah, That’s becoming more apparent every day! 😆 They must have attended the Karl Rove PR School for Aspiring Criminal Morons!
I think Bryan would be the first to tell you that most of the criminals he came across weren’t too bright :lol:. Is it surprising that the Israeli criminals aren’t so bright too?
A truly intelligent criminal wouldn’t get caught, but the ones who think they’re intelligent are an absolute joy. You just write down their “clever” stories and even new prosecutors can convict them.
The Jerusalem Post is such a joke they make the Washington Times look professional.
And once again, the Israeli’s prove just how stupid they are! A-mazing…
From Cole:
Dayan Calls for Assassination of Erdogan via Sinking of his Proposed Aid Ship
That a very good way for a moron like Dayan to end up with his wife waking up next to his headless body. With any luck… The Turks won’t stop with his stupid head! 😆
I *almost* hope the moronic Israeli’s do sink the ship! 😈 It’d be the last thing they do in this life.
And the USA wants to keep being associated with these criminal morons? Talk about “guilt by association!” and “Stupid is as stupid does!” *shaking head*
This is almost funnier than Diskworld! 😆 Even if it does lead the “The end of the World!” Good IMNSHO! 😈
Of course, when we see that the USA is run by morons like this… it becomes obvious why they support Israel. 😀
From Think Progress:
Schumer Says It ‘Makes Sense’ To ‘Strangle [Gaza] Economically’ Until It Votes The Way Israel Wants
And Cole:
Schumer’s Sippenhaftung and the Children of Gaza
Strangely, it’s been quite some years since I’ve heard anyone (even within the USA) seriously claim that the USA is the staunchest supporter and World leader of Human Rights and love of Children. That old “Moral High-ground” is sinking lower every year. Must be about the same height at a snakes belly by now.
Pfft!
Most Americans have no idea that Arabs are just as Semitic as Jews, which makes calling Arabs anti-Semitic rather ignorant.
Somehow calling for the ethnic cleansing of Arabs is fine but anything said against the Israelis is bigoted.
And so, we get closer and closer…
Turkey Shelves Israeli Cooperation, Considers breaking off Ties; Israel Lobbies in Congress denounce Ankara
Not only is Israel now openly *attacking* (verbally) Turkey, but the USA also. Ummmm… This goes way beyond the normal bounds of *complete stupidity* one expects from US Politicians. We are entering a whole new territory for insanity here.
Just saw an interesting comment added to the above post:
And this one:
I am watching this like my favorite weekly TV series! I even have popcorn and pretzels! 😉 😆
It will be rather difficult to supply troops in Iraq or Afghanistan if the Turks throw the US out of Incirlik AB, especially with the current unrest in Kyrgyzstan. Flying to Southwest Asia without going through Turkey is a very long trip and we don’t have any bases in Israel, because there is no point.
Congress keeps it up and we will have to withdraw, because we won’t be able to support the operations.
It wouldn’t be the first time Congress decided to keep troops where they couldn’t be supplied. The assumption is that Congress gives a damn about the troops. History shows otherwise.
IF Turkey does indeed throw the USA out, it will be huge. USA will lose much face, and Turkey will gain much. The Morons in the USA don’t have a clue, and could care less, what that will mean around the World. 🙂 It’d obvious now that Turkey has seen this coming for some time. They have been strengthening relations around the ME and Asia, Russia and the EU. They are in a very strong bargaining position. The USA isn’t. Even here in Aus. It appears we are supporting the US and Turks positions, but I can assure you that the people here have little love for the USA right now and are leaning heavily towards Turkey, and it’s an election year and Rudd is in trouble! He needs to do something *big* and important for our interests. 😉 😀
Yes… It will be very interesting.
I don’t see how anyone who has ever dealt with the Turks can be at all surprised at the reaction to the piracy and deaths. Unarmed Turkish civilians on a Turkish flagged vessel in international waters were attacked and killed. Exactly what elected government could ignore that? The Israelis had already insulted Turkey recently, so relations were cool, and then this.
The Turks have been acting as intermediaries for the Israelis and trying to get some talks going, but the Israelis keep screwing things up. I can’t see a good reason for the Turks to continue relations with Israel because they aren’t getting anything in return, and the threats on the Armenian issue from Israeli supporters in the US Congress are exactly the wrong way to influence Turkey. Turks do not respond well to threats.
