Liberals Are So Horrible

Vote Vets, which was created by Democrats to cash in on opposition to Iraq War II, is now running ads attacking Republicans for holding up more billions for war in Ukraine.

They pretend that somehow American forces will have to go fight the next war for Poland or some total nonsense to justify it. Because liberals are always horrible. And liberals always lie.

Oh, they’ve “already” taken back some of the land Russia initially occupied. Yeah? And how long ago was the last time they took any? See, they’re liars. The war is lost. The only question now is if Ukraine can strike a deal before they lose Kharkiv and Odesa too. They were talking recently but Biden stopped them.

$5400

One of the terrorist-murderers captured in Moscow claimed that he was paid the equivalent of US$5400 to kill innocent people. In his native Tajikstan that is no doubt a lot of money. His willingness to kill for money is not new, the mercenary trade is one steeped in romance but also be despised. Usually depending on any given historical perspective. Though these men were murderers. Spree killers, motivated by the ideology of terror and money.

While other spree killers the world over may do their terrible deed with a vicious thrill these men are now heroes to some, because the crime is conflated with politics and has become an act of terror. Somehow terrorism transcends criminality, to the point that all the great terrorists end up becoming political parties or even governments. Terrorists making statesmen and generals, should they survive their trade long enough.

For at least one of the captured murderers it was a money job. The lives he took insignificant to his need to get paid. While what he did was visceral, vulgar, he at the very least stood there and pulled the trigger while the innocent fell before him. He heard the screams, saw the blood and smelt the smouldering of his weapons barrel. In a nihilistic age where the only true god is money, many work jobs where the outcome is as vile, the indirect damage done in a far away land, distance between their office and their victims. They are paid more, without the screams, the smell and the kick of the rifle into the shoulder. The corporate and government barrier legitimises whatever terror they may participate in, its legal not criminal. Not murder, just business. Not terrorism, simply policy. That’s how 140 dead can become several thousand, or even a million. Pay enough people and your genocide comes but with paperwork.

For some $5400 is a lot of money. Then again, I’m pretty sure drone operators get paid more. The innocent, they remain dead. Murdered by the deranged killer who did his sick deed not out of compulsion or because he was mentally broken. He did it because he was paid and maybe because of a violent ideological belief. Both of which are we have come to accept as normal, If he was a pilot in a fighter-bomber dropping bombs or a drone operator firing a missile, then to many he would be a professional. Return home a hero with battle ribbons. The dead maybe collateral or deserving, Russia is after all at war.

What’s the value of a life? To the many killers out there, the terrorists, mercenaries and professionals alike it can vary but apparently those innocent lives were worth $5400 to one man. To others, they would have done it for free. Remember that next time you kiss a loved one.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s Servile Lickspittle Donald Trump

Has there ever been a cuck with less dignity than Donald J. Trump? NYT:

Trump Advisers Talk of Palestinian Expulsions, West Bank Annexation

Even as Palestinian-rights organizers focus their ire on President Biden, the advisers who shaped Donald J. Trump’s Middle East policies when he was president have amplified calls for the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza and the annexation of the West Bank by Israel.

Those policy prescriptions, voiced by Mr. Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and his former ambassador to Israel, David M. Friedman, suggest a right-wing approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict exceeding even the Trump administration’s lopsidedly pro-Israeli proposals for a two-state solution. Mr. Trump was contradictory on the policies he would pursue in an interview with a conservative Israeli publication. But he did say he would be meeting with Mr. Friedman to discuss the former ambassador’s plan for Israeli annexation of the West Bank.

Israel Grabs More Palestinian Land in the West Bank

From The Washington Post, March 22, 2023:

Israel announces largest West Bank land seizure since 1993 during Blinken visit

Israel’s far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, announced the seizure of 10 square kilometers (3.8 square miles) of Palestinian territory in the West Bank on Friday. The move marks the single largest land seizure by the Israeli government since the 1993 Oslo accords, according to Peace Now, a settlement watchdog group.

“While there are those in Israel and the world who seek to undermine our right over the Judea and Samaria area and the country in general,” Smotrich said Friday, referring to the territory by its biblical name, “we are promoting settlement through hard work and in a strategic manner all over the country.”

Israeli settlements in the West Bank are considered illegal under international law. Still, Israel has used land orders like the one issued Friday to gain control over 16 percent of Palestinian-controlled lands in the West Bank. The newly seized area includes parcels in the Jordan Valley and between the settlements of Maale Adumim and Keidar.

What She Meant

By calling yesterday’s UN Security Council’s Gaza ceasefire resolution “nonbinding,” US Ambassador Linda Thomas Greenfield was delivering Joe Biden’s message to Israel: Feel free to ignore this. Israel has obliged. The U.S. had abstained.

Ha’aretz: Will No One Rid Us of This Horrible Prime Minister?

The Likud is running Israel into the grave with a lot of their Palestinian victims. Well, Ukraine has lost millions of people to emigration during the current war. Maybe the Israelis can go and create and ethno-exclusivist state there. I hear they’re really into that kind of thing.

Netanyahu Has Become Israel’s Agent of Destruction

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can now add a diplomatic crisis with Israel’s closest ally, the American superpower – Israel’s protector overseas, which has gone out of its way to stand with it since the war began – to his list of glorious failures. On Monday, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire during the month of Ramadan and the immediate and unconditional release of all the hostages held by Hamas. Previous such resolutions have failed, but this one passed, because the United States abstained instead of exercising its veto.

But instead of admitting that he had once again failed, immediately changing his attitude toward Washington, apologizing to Israelis for the diplomatic tsunami he has brought upon them and resigning in embarrassment over his reckless policy, which brought Israel to the brink of the abyss on October 7, he opted to continue to decry and provoke the Americans.

Following the vote, Netanyahu canceled a planned trip to Washington by a delegation led by Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi. He also accused Washington of abandoning “the consistent U.S. position” and thereby “harming the war effort.” Without a drop of humility, his office even accused America of undermining the effort to free the hostages and giving a tailwind to Hamas. It was just a step away from accusing the Americans of supporting terror, as per the automatic response of Netanyahu’s poison machine.
