whoops.
i got all political for a second here (Rav Yehoshua will be proud).
This guy (click the pretty words) is a friend of a friend. After reading this post (or click here) on his blog, I wrote this retort:
____________________
i reckon that the funky, Diet Sprite-drinkin' Beiruit literati with whom you are so down to bust some Mos Def rhymes ain't within a hundred shades of lavender to the radical Muslims who are closing their eyes as they randomly pop hundreds of rockets into the Israeli North. You paint a picture of the entire Lebanese people rising up against the sudden, unprovoked incursion of the brutal Israeli entity that is hell-bent on stealing their turf.
Are the Purple Rain of Katushya rockets, the thousands upon thousands of Israelis who have fled their homes or have spent their summer in a bomb shelter, the kidnapping of 2 Israeli soldiers (6 years after Israel withdrew all troops from Lebanon)---> are those imaginary???
Your "Fuck Hizbollah" comes across as a pleasant bit of canned rage just in case you get accused of being a lefty terror sympathizer. But your image of a microphone-rockin', manic panic-dyein, IPA-swillin' team of Beret-wearing victims of Jewish brutality is a little far from the mark. Those Hizbollah guys would put your sympathy on a stake and shove it up your Western Arse just as quickly as they would eat my Jew liver (without onions, as they throw back a cool Sammy).
Be real and be fair, not just over-spicy and misinformed.
Kisses.

I recieved a not-insubstantial joy from that tirade.
Nice rant stu, but I have a problem with this:
"....to the radical Muslims who are closing their eyes as they randomly pop hundreds of rockets into the Israeli North."
Stu, you make them sound so... evil. Sure, many of us reading this blog have strong biases but lets not loose sight of reality. Blindly firing rockets... The US has practicaly invented this tactic. Except, they call it "intellegence". Ya know, as in"we have intellegence that says the enemy is in that house" or, my favorite.."Intellegence reports that Iraq has WMDs and plan to use them against us". And Hezbollah just shoots them. Sorry mate, there is no difference.
I don't give a flying karate kick f*$K if your Sheik Hassan Nasrallah or Donald Rumsfeld... Kill everything is sight.. civilian casualties are part of war.
Remember when Tim McVeigh blew up that building in Oklahoma? Everyone wanted his head on a platter and even the most sympathetic folk gave up when he used the word "casualties" to describe the people he killed.
Yet, Bush uses this word everyday to get himself off the hook.
Am I the only one that actaully cares about human lives? Has your faiths turned you into monsters? Does the old testement say something about tho shall not kill? Does the Qur'an actaully contain instructions on how to bring down commercial airliners? And tell me, please, enlighten me stu and others.. can your interpretation of the torah give you answers to these questions and let you feel just in saying:
"....the radical Muslims who are closing their eyes as they randomly pop hundreds of rockets into the Israeli North."
cause I find it pretty hypocrytical.
Cheers,
--Your not soo P.C. human from SF,CA,USA,Earth.
PS.. Stu, I guess this is what happens when you get "political". sorry.
Ok, so wandering Stu had to send me a private word reminding me of my ignorance to the sensitivity of
"a situation in which so many people
outright condemn Israel (and every citizen within)
while defending the Arab world as poor victims..."
ya, I appologize for that.
But jsut to be clear, I am not attacking anyone personally or insulting any religion. I'm just pointing out that military tactics are ugly and achieve the same means, no matter who's pressing the button or in what gods name they do it in.
I was going to quote Lord of the Rings by saying:
"war will make mosters of us all"
but, after some thought, I think the quote was:
"war will make corpses of us all"
...and I'm still not sure of the quote but my underlying point in these posts of mine is that I know I don't want to see wonderin' rabi Stu end up as either.
