The blame-Israel reflex strikes again: Of course the PA will respond to charges of corruption and video evidence of sexual misconduct by PA officials as an Israeli conspiracy to make them look bad. Because that’s what people will believe.
Remember, it’s anti-Zionism, not anti-Semitism: Even when students yell “Kill the Jews” and chant “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” while trying to attack the Israeli foreign minister. Because that doesn’t mean to destroy Israel, you see. It’s just to “reinstate” the fictional nation of Palestine.
I said it was anti-Zionism, aren’t you listening? Leon Wieseltier accuses Andrew Sullivan of anti-Semitism in this TNR piece. Funny, back when I first started blogging, Sully was my hero and I was pretty mad at Wieseltier over this TNR piece, where he declared that Jew hatred today is nothing like the 1930s, as some believe. I wonder if he still feels that way after watching people like Sullivan descend into reflexive anti-Jewish conspiracies.
It’s got a beat you can dance to: Retracto the Correction Alpaca has a theme song. (If you have to ask, you haven’t been paying attention to Breitbart.) Seriously, it’s a pretty good song.
Going back to bed now.
