Final solution to the Palestinian problem

I have refrained from commenting on the current atrocities in Gaza because I keep searching for some comforting news, only to come up goose eggs. Clearly, the Hamas kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit -- a predictable and justifiable response to the Israeli massacre of a Palestinian family -- has played drirectly into the hands of Israeli hawks.

And do not ever expect me to apologize for the word "justifiable." I refuse to operate under the hallucination that Israeli lives have greater worth than do the lives of their victims. Nor do I believe that one can placate mass-murdering monsters with docility and pleas for tolerance. Taking a military man hostage in retaliation for the killing of seven civilians is, if anything, far too measured a response.

Every rational person should now understand that Israel's ultimate goal for the Palestinians is the mirror image of Hitler's ultimate goal for the Jews: Physical annhilation. Israeli hawks will use every incident available to them to bring about this all-too-foreseeable bloodbath. They comprehend that the time for genocide is now, while a compliant madman like Bush remains in office and his Jesusmaniac hillbilly followers remain mired their sick Apocalyptic fantasies.

I direct readers to this piece by Steve Clemons -- and especially to a reader's commentary:
