Internationale
1. Summing it all up - The Little Difference:
By Steven Plaut
Democrats on Petraeus:
The man is unfit for office and must not be allowed to continue
to serve the country! He has no respect for women. His personal life
disqualifies him for office. He cannot be regarded as competent when
he behaves so badly with members of the opposite sex. A man who
betrays his own wife to pursue another woman has no place in high
office. His having issued an apology does not get him off the hook.
The CIA has its own code of conduct and Petraeus failed to live up to
it. No one behaving this way can be regarded as reliable in carrying
out his public service job. Nothing is more relevant for assessing
his public performance than his behavior in private life.
Democrats on Clinton:
The man is uniquely fit for office and must be allowed to
continue to serve the country! It does not matter at all with regard
to his public position that he showed no respect for women. His
personal life has nothing at all to do with his qualification for
office. He cannot be regarded as incompetent just because he behaves
badly with members of the opposite sex. What does this have to do
with his qualifications as president? Just because a man betrays his
own wife to pursue another woman, that is no reason to bar him from
high office. His having issued an apology should get him off the
hook. The Presidency does not have its own code of conduct and many
men fail to live up to expectations of marital fidelity. Just because
Clinton behaved badly in his private life, that is no reason why he
cannot continue carrying out his public service job. What is private
must stay private and is not relevant for assessing his public
performance.
2. "The Internationale" (also sometimes written without the last "E")
is the marching song of communists all over the world. You can see
its English lyrics here: http://www.uv.es/~pla/red.net/intaoter.html
. The song symbolizes the mindless stupidity of the Stalinist Old
Left, its love for anti-democratic oppression, suppression of human
rights, gulags, and devotion to the armed seizure of power by tiny
communist elites claiming to speak on behalf of "the people," while of
course "the people" are never allowed to have a say about anything.
This week the semi-Marxist Meretz Party of Israel's Far Left, a party
closely linked with "Peace Now," held its nominating convention. It
chose candidates that it believes will serve in the next Knesset based
on its assumption that the party will gain eight Knesset seats, or in
Israeli parlance, eight "realistic" seats. I personally think that
Meretz can realistically expect to get two seats and I hope it does
not even get those and will fail to get into the next Knesset
altogether.
Anyway, the current Madam Defarge of Meretz, having taken over after
Shulamit Aloni got tired of defaming Israel and Jews, is Zehava Galon.
(See http://meretzusa.blogspot.hu/2012/07/interview-with-zehava-galon-head-of.html)
She is a radical anti-Israel dingbat, loud mouthed and very
bad-tempered - ever since Hansel and Gretel managed to escape. She
was naturally chosen for the party's number one slot. The number two
slot however went to a relative unknown, one Ilan Gilon, whose name is
so similar to that of his gyno-Kommandant that most Israelis think
they are married (actually, not related). Gilon is an Old Left
marxie, even though he was born in Moldava and so should know better.
His main qualification for office is that he used to run a communist
restaurant where the waiters wore tee shirts with leftist slogans.
According to Yediot Ahronot
(http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4304069,00.html ), upon
hearing of his performance, Gilon and his comrades broke out into a
loud rendition of The Internationale.
So all I can say is this:
Arise Israelis from your slumbers
And trash those Meretz bolshies now!
Away with all your superstitions
Zehava is one heap big cow,
Servile masses arise, arise
Restore henceforth our old traditions
Tar and feathers must be their prize.
By the way, my son's apartment in Tel Aviv was being visited by an
obnoxious Tel Aviv rat, which entered through the window. He caught
the critter in a trap. He was reluctant to drown it, my first
suggestion to him. So I suggested that he just deliver it to the
Meretz Party, whose entire remaining membership could dine on it for a
week without having to go out for their usual seafood and bacon lunch
favorites.

Amiram Goldblum and the others involved in the malicious "Apartheid
Survey" Defamation of Israel:
