Hamas v. Likud – Mirror Images of Racism and Irrationality
The anti-Arab racists at the Ayn Rand Institute excoriate the EU for giving aid to the Palestinian Authority because they have aided in "terror" against Israel. O brother! Self-defense against an illegal occupier and oppressor is now terrorism per se? ARI spokesman David Holcberg thinks (and says) so in his ARI Op-Ed piece I just read in my email inbox.
To wit:
"The election of Hamas--an Islamic terrorist group committed to the destruction of Israel--is another demonstration that the Palestinians deserve no aid, or sympathy. What they deserve is to suffer the consequences of electing terrorists to rule them"
Try this on for size Mr. Holcberg (as in "if the shoe fits.." & etc):
The election of Likud--a Zionist terrorist group committed to the destruction of the Palestinian community--is another demonstration that the Jews deserve no aid, or sympathy. What they deserve is to suffer the consequences of electing terrorists to rule them."
The ARI and the followers of Objectivism emphasize the need for rationality in the thought process for "man to live as man" on the Earth. What does it say about their way of seeing things that the very way that their press release is written that it can be so easily reversed and still read true? What would Ms. Rand say? I hate to think sometimes.
