Memo to all those paleo-cons who e-mailed me last week in fury because I

described Israel as being one of civilization’s front lines in the fight

against barbarism, and were so keep to tell me about Israeli “atrocities”:

Can you please point me to any act by the IDF, or any other arm of the

Israeli state, comparable to this one in brutality, and for which the

Israeli government has then gleefully “claimed responsibility”?
