It's Called Freedom of Speech
March 26, 2009 | baltimore, Maryland | Vetting explained
Well done Mr. Oliphant. It's nice to see someone speaking the truth. Abraham Foxman (that great defender of free speech... not) is raising a stink over this cartoon because it portrays Israel "as a jack-booted, goose-stepping headless apparition... The implication is of an Israeli policy without a head or a heart." Yea, exactly.
You know, if you act like a jack-booted, goose-stepping headless apparition, then that's how you're going to be portrayed. Tyranny is tyranny. Butchery is butchery. Whether you're Jew, Muslim, Christian, whatever. What happened in Gaza recently was NOT just. It was wrong-- period. Dropping white phosphorus on women and children is terrorism.
Why is it that anyone who criticizes Israeli policy is immediately labeled an anti-Semite?
