Hey, they're only Joos...

Oh, this is absolutely fricking disgusting.

In a world where nations and peoples increasingly intermingle and intermarry, where cultural and national impediments to communication have all but collapsed, where more and more of us have multiple elective identities and would feel constrained if we had to answer to just one, in such a world, Israel is truly an anachronism. And not just an anachronism, but a dysfunctional one. In today's "clash of cultures" between open, pluralist democracies and belligerently intolerant, faith-driven ethno-states, Israel actually risks falling into the wrong camp.


Man, did the LA Times West Coast Edition of The Daily Worker really screw up allowing this op-ed. They get hammered for their "Dirty Tricks Thursday" story, which caused a thousand people (LA Times reports that, but in all honesty the number is probably closer to 10 thousand) to cancel their subscriptions. Now, in a city with a sizable Jewish population (not to mention a lot of Jewish supporters), they publish an op-ed like that? Man, you guys have to be masochistic. Or stupid. Or both. Anti-semitism at it's finest folks, right there. Courtesy of the LA Times.

And don't give me any crap about how it's only an op-ed and not a news story. The LA Times West Coast Edition of the Daily Worker can and does control what gets printed on it's op-ed pages, all newspapers do. They could have shown some class and not printed it, but they didn't. Thus showing their true colors. Painted in bright anti-Semitic splendor, for all the world to see.
