Cloudy today and a little rain is possible, but the best chances will be this weekend. I'm more than a little disgusted by this country's devotion to Israel. Why did we go into Iraq the first time? To placate Israel. Why would we attack Iran? To placate Israel. I hope attitudes around the world will change. I don't want to see anti-Semitism but I would like to see an upsurge in anti-Zionism. We should be able to understand that modern Israel's moral standing is no better than that of Hitler's Germany. Same cant: master race/chosen people. Not a dime's worth of difference. "Greater Israel" is just Hitlerian lebensraum all over again. Same justification for similar atrocities. It seems clear to me that Israel was a mistake, something misbegotten, and the world has suffered ever since. It began in hope and idealism. The hopes and ideals have been betrayed, just as they would be in any ordinary nation, subject to ordinary human flaws and moral rot. Nothing special. No hand of God. No trace of superiority.
