It’s not clear which racist creep will take over Israel’s government, but from this distance the differences look pretty cosmetic. Do we get Livni who just presided over the carnage in Gaza or Netanyahu who thinks she’s too much of a softie? Then there’s Liberman who was previously a bouncer in a club in Moldova, a.k.a. Recruitment Central for world sex-slave trafficking and now calls for Israeli Arabs to sign loyalty pledges to the ‘rightful owners’ of the territory, i.e. recent arrivals like himself with racially pure (i.e. Jewish) parentage. You can’t make this stuff up.
Looks as though the slavish American devotion to the most reactionary political forces in Israel has borne its expected fruit—empowering leaders who will ignore Obama’s new approach and continue down the path of conquest, apartheid and further ethnic cleansing. No one can pretend to be surprised by this ongoing debacle.
