Cenk Uygur, Huffington Post, August 8:
According to Alan Dershowitz’s logic, it’s perfectly acceptable to kill Lebanese civilians because they voted for and support an organization that kills Israeli civilians. By that same exact logic, it’s perfectly acceptable for Hezbollah to kill Israeli civilians because they voted for and support a government that kills Lebanese civilians. This is an irrefutable argument.
Dershowitz tells us that the Lebanese had it coming. They are “collaborators.” This is the same exact argument Hezbollah, Hamas, Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden make – we can kill their civilians because they support a government that kills ours.
I know, I know, Alan – go ahead and tell me about how the Israelis are perfectly innocent and they never started a thing and they are only victims here. It is the evil, terrorist Arabs that started all the wars – and deserved to have their women and children massacred.
