| American Politician's Moral Blind Spot Toward Israel: Kerry, Edwards, Bush & Cheney

Hi. Been buried in the real world for a few weeks. Hope the weather is as nice where you are as it is on the east coast of the United States.

Oh. About this post. How’s that for a headline? Source is the Op-Ed page of Al-Jazzerah. Here’s a pull-quote:

John Edwards, in his “debate” with Richard Cheney, made many good points, Unfortunately, he like Kerry last week, have a moral blind spot when it comes to Israel and the killing and maiming of hundreds of Palestinians every week. This killing has been going on for months, but none of our vaunted politicians or media have screamed with outrage about this ongoing massacre of Palestinians in their own land.

More votes for Nader, then?

Ah. The Palestinians can’t defend themselves.

I believe self defence is the first criteria of a nation.
