If Kinsley is cat vomit, Jeff Greenfield of CNN must be buffalo vomit: "...is there any other major public figure who dresses the way he (Sen. Barack Obama) does? (Jacket, no tie) Why yes, it's Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad."

And that, I suppose, makes Obama a Holocaust denier and potential wiper off the map of Israel?

Aw shit, I'm gonna read only Brecht and Rilke from now on, with Kafka for comic relief.

Kinsley is right! The West Bank and Gaza can't be Bantustans, because historically the West Bank and Gaza were vibrant, coherent nations (Westbankistan and Gazastan, respectively). So they can't possibly be arbitrary geo-political constructs like in old South Africa!

How much does the Washington Post pay for this stuff? Gotta pay the vet bills, not to mention cat food, kitty litter, and endless containers of Nature's Miracle and if I'd known those stains were worth something I wouldn't need to be buying the cleaning fluid.

He (Kinsley) is often quite witty. There's something about this sorry project that mysteriously makes smart people stupid. Like a non-surgical lobotomy.

The cat vomit's logic is akin to a SNL skit that aired during the first Gulf War. Bush (I believe Dana Carvey) was saying, 'People are saying that this war is another Vietnam. Nothing can be further from the truth. This will not be another Vietnam War. The Vietnam War took place in Vietnam. This war is very far away from Vietnam.'

And so on.

The Post needs a touch of moonbatshit. Easy to come by, and reality based.

Kinsley also forgets that the ANC in general and Mandela in particular, who led the ANC's armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Natino), were called "terrorists" by the US.

Apartheid ended peacefully because it ended.

I hope Israeli Apartheid will end peacefully as well. Let's end it and find out.

Between Kinsley and now Hiatt's apologia for Pinochet today, I don't know why people even pick up the Post.

Rojo:

"Kinsley also forgets that the ANC in general and Mandela in particular, who led the ANC's armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Natino), were called "terrorists" by the US."

and of course mandela was in prison, on terrorism charges. so the correct answer to "where is their mandela?" is: "Probably still in prison."

or, since Israel appears to be keen on targeted assassinations, the answer could just as easily be "Shot by the israelis."

Don't forget the fairly obvious answer to Kinsley's question: where is their Mandela? Probably blown up by a missile attack. At least South Africa caved in to international pressure and commuted Mandela's death sentence, heck they even went so far as to give him a trial in the first place. Israel won't be making that mistake.

If Carter had instead compared the West Bank to the segregated south, maybe Kinsley would point out you can't have segregation without MLK or Rosa Parks.

Or maybe the West Bank is not like apartheid because nobody tried to flatten Nelson Mandela with a bulldozer.

Why isn't Arafat an equivalent to Mandela? He agreed to recognize Israel in return for 22% of Palestine and won an election with this platform - was that too much to ask? Now, where is their de Klerk?

Just boycott Juulandia. Don't buy Israel related products. Start with your computer. The new Intel CPUs are manufactured (in part) in Israel. Don't buy computers with Intel CPUs (that includes Apple) and explain to them why. CPUs are pretty expensive and a big boycott will make a dent in their income.
That's what I do... Also prepare for some assorted bullshit anti-semitic blah-blah...

Not mysterious at all. Kinsley has proven one thing during his career; that he's a reliable prostie. He's always ready with the 'cool contrarianism' or needed incomprehension when the powers that be really need it.
