They just got a different tool to use than we do: They kill innocent lives to achieve objectives. That's what they do. And they're good. They get on the TV screens and they get people to ask questions about, well, you know, this, that or the other. I mean, they're able to kind of say to people: Don't come and bother us, because we will kill you. Bush - Joint News Conference with Blair - 28 July '06

It's not 'anti-Semitic' to kick Blair's arse

At the Labor [sic] Party conference in Manchester, Blair's colleagues will castigate him more for his support for Israel in the Lebanon war than for his domestic policies. Israel will have to take note of the anti-Semitic undercurrents in this. Link

db: Anti-Semitic undercurrents? What has that got to do with anything? Sikh, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist or Jew, if you attack civilians and kill with impunity - backed by the leader of 'the free world' and also our dear neocon prime minister - you are going to get some bad press. It will not help if your nation happens to have a reputation for indulging in extrajudicial killing, illegal occupations, assassination, murder, racism and other brutalities.

So Blair will, I hope, get a major kicking for backing Israel's bombardment of Lebanon - not because of Israel's Jewishness - but because it was morally repugnant.
