		<description>&lt;p&gt;I’m sure the American and Israeli news media has already labeled Ghadeer and her family “Hamas militants” so it’s okay.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;tbogg in 2006 on the Lebanon invasion:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Basically it is impossible in America to criticize Israel, or speak in defense of the Palestinian people, without being called an “anti-semite” which is why I believe that so many blogs on the left have been so quiet about the attack on Lebanon and what is benignly referred to as Israel’s “overreaction”. In fact, I hesitated to even write this post remembering how Juan Cole was smeared and denied an appointment at Yale. It is a very rare occurrence when I hesitate to write what is on my mind; but you know us liberals and how we hate to be called a “bigot” or to be accused of being “intolerant” by people who are bigots and are intolerant. Well, as my grandmother used to say: “fuck that noise”. Also, I’m not staying up late waiting for a call from Yale.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For me, it was the blog post of the year.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Thank goodness our government, beacon of justice and freedom for all, is busy doing what it can to stop this atrocity… I mean, apart from a) largely ignoring the problem (Bush and Obama alike), b) heaping all the guilt on one side (or at least paying lip service to the fact that the civilians who are doing most of the dying are, you know, innocent and a wee bit stuck), and c) giving the other side all the cool toys it needs to continue the carnage. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other than that, we’re doing everything in our powers to stop it. Now, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1102951/Shhhh-As-world-waits-Obama-voice-opinion-Gaza-Americas-President-elect-hits-golf-course.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;watch this drive&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Any moment there will be blood thirsty bastards here screaming “Anti-Semite”.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am married to a Semite and he, as usual, thinks Israel is continuing their fine tradition of self-emolation, with the usual taking along of many muslims/non-Jewish Israeli’s as they possibly can, all while wrapped in the flag of their #1 enabler.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The “industrial” part of “military-industrial complex” seems to be recession-proof.  What a pity.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;By taking on Hamas, Israelis deserve the gratitude of decent people everywhere. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m sure the 14-year old girl would be clapping her hands in gratitude, except of course for that gauze and the blood seeping through thing.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
