Leftist Orwellism by Tanya's Codpiece 11:35am Fri Feb 21 '03 Leftists always reverse cause and effect print article Leftists in general like to reverse cause and effect. Like insisting that Pearl Harbor was caused by Hiroshimo, rather than the other way around. Leftists insist that settlements produce the Arab wars against Israel, whereas we all know the inversion is true. Leftists insist that Israeli army checkpoints that limit Palestinian mobility cause terrorism, whereas we all know that the inversion is true. Leftists insist that Israeli demolitions of Palestinian homes causes terrorism, whereas we all know the inversion is true. Leftists insist that Israels not offering generous concessions to the Palestinians causes terrorism, whereas we all know that offering such concessions causes terrorism. And one of the most Orwellistic inversions popular among Israeli leftists these days regards targeted killings of Palestinian terrorists by Israel. The Left of course is unaware of the possibility that these killings were caused by PLO atrocities themselves and insists the inversion is true. The Left insists that there would never be any Palestinian suicide bombers or murderers or other terrorists if Israel were only to stop targeting and killing the poor terrorists. If Israel only turned the other cheek and dealt with terrorism the way the Left wants, through capitulating to the demands of the terrorists, then there would be no violence in the Middle East, or so insist the beautiful and caring people. add your comments

Congratulations on actually writing YOUR idea by Peter Kropotkin 11:59am Fri Feb 21 '03 print comment Wow, for once one of you right-wingers have the energy to actually write something that is an original statement, instead of grabbing article after article from some other right-wing news source and just copying it into indymedia... You may write faulty logic nonesense, but at least it is your own... Congratulations. add your comments

This was written by Plat by Shabtai 7:10pm Sat Feb 22 '03 print comment This was actually written by Steven Platt, a teacher at haifa University. He himself is a proud fascist and believer of, I quote: "Bin Laden is responsible for the Afghanies who died [during the American invasion]". Not Bush or the people who pulled the trigger. The best trick of Hitler was to shift the blame- why blame yourselves when you can blame the Jews, blakcs, gypsies, etc.? The same thing goes for modern day fascists in the guise of zionists- why blame Uncle Sam or Grandpappie Arik when you can blame Arafat or Bin Laden? Why blame yourselves when pointing the finger at someone else is much easier? add your comments
