Boazy, I'm no Marxist. A Marxist would call me a member of the petit bourgeoisie.
While you babble all over OLO about Marxism, you don't appear to know what it is. Posted by CJ Morgan, Thursday, 3 June 2010 8:40:30 AM

THIS IS NOT A DUMBED DOWN POLITICAL OR RELIGIOUS ISSUE
This issue unites all concerned about State violence. Noting the democracies of the West gradually opposed Nazi violence... A new issue to anticipate has been summarised by a very non-left organisation - the right thinking RTT News, June 2, 2010: "Wednesday, a ship carrying aid supplies and scores of pro-Palestine activists headed towards Gaza, despite the deadly Israeli raid on a flotilla of aid ships which left at least nine activists dead just a couple of days ago. MV Rachel Corrie, named after an American activist killed in Gaza several years ago, is currently sailing towards Gaza to deliver its consignment of humanitarian aid, and is expected to reach its destination late Friday or early Saturday. ...MV Rachel Corrie is reportedly carrying a cargo of 550 tons of cement, educational materials, toys and medical equipment to be delivered in Gaza by breaking an ongoing Israeli blockade of the Palestinian territory." http://www.rttnews.com/Content/MarketSensitiveNews.aspx?Id=1323064&SM=1 So watch out for a likely Israeli attack on MV Rachel Corrie in the near future. The ship has been so named in remembrance of the American woman who was run over by an Israeli armoured bulldozer. This is the speech she wrote in the 5th Grade http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK8Z3i3aTq4 It speaks louder than easy labels. Posted by plantagenet, Thursday, 3 June 2010 9:50:48 AM

Of course the USA is largely to blame for the misdeeds and atrocities of Israel! It has been financing Israel and supporting it diplomatically ever since the rogue Israeli state came into being.
As foxy wrote earlier, factors that shape US support for Israel include the Zionist lobby, the politics of oil, the arms industry and its influence in Congress, the Christian Right's messianic beliefs; racist attitudes towards Arabs and Muslims. Driven by a bunch like that, it's no wonder that the USA has never forced Israel to adopt more civilized behaviour simply by withdrawing its finance and support. The warmongering of the USA around the world provides us with adequate example of how it collectively believes it is OK for Israel to behave. It sickens me whenever I hear an Australian politician declaring Australia's friendship and support for either of them! Posted by Forkes, Thursday, 3 June 2010 10:24:22 AM

>>That's why they've resorted to predictable ad hominem attacks without even bothering to mount the semblance of a counter argument.<< My post was not an ad hominem attack. It was merely predicting her likely contradictory social value system which is often found in such people. Maybe you can identify with such hypocrisy? Irrational, pathological hatred of the US is currently endemic on the left of politics. Posted by Atman, Thursday, 3 June 2010 7:24:16 PM

Foxy,
We should all be grateful to you for previously pointing out the expert status of Charles Krauthammer. Here he is talking about the flotilla incident: http://nicedeb.wordpress.com/2010/06/01/video-krauthammer-on-the-humanitarian-flotilla/ "The fundamental deception here is the use of the word humanitarian." "There is no-one starving in Gaza." "Israelis allow food and medicine everyday overland into Gaza." "This was not about humanitarian aid." "It was about breaking the blockade (to enable weapons to be taken into Gaza)." "Egypt blockades Gaza from the west (but no-one has any problems with that)." "Gaza is run by Hamas, a terror entity."

Americans to see the truth about themselves and their imperialist country is one of the biggest problems the world faces.

Yes, Israel only gets away with its complete disregard for international law and human rights because it is sponsored by the USA,
COMMENT
I guess they were also rolling around the Woodstock mud intertwined with who knows who or what making 'free love' and being 'sexually liberated' as their 'prophet' Herbert Marcuse watches from the sidelines with a very satisfied wry grin.
ARTICLE.
