No Moral Equivalence Whatsoever

You know the picture of Israeli girls writing messages on shells, addressed to Hizballah leader Sheikh Nasrallah? The one that’s currently being emailed to me several times a day by progressive types, usually accompanied with obscenity-laced messages such as, “Why don’t you post this Israeli child abuse on your famous blog, a—hole?” (A genuine message I received.)

This one:

Well, imagine my surprise to discover that the photo was a setup by foreign journalists.

Even if it weren’t, however, I don’t see what all the agonizing is about. To suggest moral equivalence between the photograph above and the one below, discovered by the IDF in a routine search of a Palestinian house on the outskirts of Hebron…

…is simply obscene.

Compare Electricity Prices in your area. Texas Electricity is deregulated; you have the right to choose Texas Electric Rates from among many Texas Electric Companies.

A complete lack of respect for the basic moral principle of universality.

A lot of things wrong with society today are directly attributable to the fact that the people who make the laws are sexually maladjusted. -- from "I Seem To Be a Verb" by R. Buckminster Fuller, 1970.
