Richard kemp is neither Israeli nor Jewish. He is a well-regarded military adviser to the British government and in the wake of Operation Cast Lead he said he had never seen any military operation that went to similar lengths to suppress civilian casualties. But this got almost no coverage in the media.

Even many people who aren’t anti-Israel or anti-Semitic see Israel as their moral summer camp–Israel is supposed to act on a level hitherto never seen nor expecte by any human institution and it’s very legitimacy is called into question if it fails to do so.

Time for a reprise of Eric Hoffer’s remark (I paraphrase) that the only people expected to act like Christians are Jews.

I actually went to high school with Pinch Sulzberger. It was only for a year, though, because the moron flunked out. Trust me, if he hadn’t inherited his job he wouldn’t have gotten as far in journalism as Jimmhy Olsen. It’s small wonder the Times is headed for oblivion.
