there has not been a ceasefire

[click image]

I found this image months and months ago while looking to express my feelings about Zionism. I only used part of the image, because, as you can see, even with my having blurred the stark, sharp-edged original, the whole of it is, or was, possibly fiercer than my vehement desire to evaporate them from the map of time. I'm not sure I want to hold back anymore. I want, yes, to be as reasonable and humane as is extra-humanly possible, but the situation is beyond the pale, as wrong, and more, than what we died in our thousands to beat in Germany.

If you have not yet listened to Norman Finkelstein on the matter, I can't stress heavily enough how much it would benefit you to do so. His words about our having defeated the Nazi psychosis in Germany, releasing them from the sickness and giving them a way to manifest positively into the future, are cogent and well taken. While I want Israel moved to the South Pole, I can see the elegance and the truth in his assertion, but, no matter what, this vicious and malign pathology must die as surely as Nazism had to, whether America is the prime mover or Israel, as he and his teacher have so hotly debated.

So maybe this image is no longer too harsh for me to use.
