I disagree, Benjamin. Public humiliation will cause Hamas narcissistic injury which, whilst it may enrage them even more in the short term, will wreck them psychologically ultimately.

However. Since I said “we” and “again” I suppose I didn’t really mean London. I’m sure someone can enlighten us as to the British antisemitic experience* that most closely resembles Kristallnacht, and the extent to which lunatic opinions were held here then.

Shit I fucking hate blogs. I can’t believe I am sitting here typing this shit. I am now mentioning the first reference to holocaust way back in lovely medieveeveval London when “we” were in a dark fucking place and expelled all the Jews. Cos they all died so long ago that that doesn’t count. I fucking hate blogs. Straw man, bad faith, disproportionate, ad hominem, sick of the language game, do you agree that, yes or no. Fuck off.

Like you think I think killing Arabs is good? Or is that some clever trap to make me ask about the unique racial and cultural identity of Palestinians? Ooh soon someone might mention Iran and then someone can say how they aren’t Arabs. And then someone will spell arabs arabs and you’ll get upset at the lack of capitalisation as opposed to the way they spelled Jew.

Then someone – we’ll take turns – will say how this is ALL BOLLOCKS AND PEOPLE ACTUALLY DIE. Then again, they seem to be dying FOR A LOT OF BOLLOCKS.

If you actually think that the world will be a better place if people believe that The Jews are behind 9/11 and that they are responsible for the current financial situation you are a fucking lunatic. Takes one to know one.

I mean, seriously, dude, what the fucking fuck?

*Worst. Attraction. Ever.

dark places “again”.

hmmm

what place are we in right now King Creole?

or does it only become “dark” when those being killed are not Arabs?

Last week I spoke to a 16 year old who’d been to a demo in Traf Square. He was telling me about being held up by the police, and mentioned in passing (but with some glee) that a Starbucks had been smashed up. I asked him why, and he didn’t really know. Eventually he suggested it was because they are American, and America supports Israel.

I can’t believe that I am forced to state that it’s okay, it’s not government sanctioned smashing of Jewish businesses. It’s bad, but hey it’s only 1933. That kid didn’t “know” the Starbucks conspiracy, but someone will tell him. A generation of well meaning kids are growing up believing things that could lead us to dark places again.

In any case I just found it funny, because economics is an extremely easy subject to study, anyone with the resources and patience can get a qualification in bourgeois econmics, because there is nothing to “understand”, it is just formal theories. Many marxists I know have qualifications in bourgeois economics and recieved top marks, it is like learning any trade.

The trouble is that bourgeois economics bears no relation to reality, and all its suggestions neccesarilly mean that the wokring class must pay the price of acheiving “competitiveness”.

It really is no different to training to become a priest, you just have to learn the doctrine, and state it to people as absolute rules which they must obey regardless of its affect on them.

as marx said in the quote, such people are both “swindler and prophet”

you might have missed KB Player’s correction, so do you know who committed these racial attacks?

as far as I can tell the ethnicity of the perpetrators is UNKNOWN

so your point was?
