Fuck The Post Office
Oct. 22nd, 2009 03:31 amBenjamin Netanyahu has decided that international law needs to be changed to facilitate his ethnic clensing without fear of indictment for war crimes.
He is right to be pissed off about the Goldstone report, just because Israel started the conflict and killed 100 times as many people as Hamas did, they get labelled as the bad guys. If you can't bomb a mosque during evening prayers and use your victims' children as human shields, something must be done.
Of course, indiscriminate targeting of civilians is proscribed by the Geneva Convetion, but Israel has never paid attention to it before, why should it start now just because more than a thousand people have been murdered?
When are these antisemites going to learn that the only way to bring peace to the world is by eradicating civilian infrastructure, water facilities and sewage works, by destroying food production and maintaining an illegal blockade to prevent so called "humanitarians" from delivering aid?
Pretty soon you're not going to be allowed on a plane without showing someone your genitals, but Nick Griffin being allowed on television is just obscene.
The Secretary of State for Resigning as Secretary of State for Wales, Peter Hain, has claimed that allowing Nick Griffin to appear on Question Time would grant the BNP respectability and legitimacy. Of course Nick Griffin did win election to the European Parliament, but that's not quite the same as being granted the opportunity to enter into lively public debate with a brain-diseased hack journalist and a crap musician with ideas above his station.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a tricky document. It's riddled with ambiguities and confusing use of language. Article 19 in particular has always caused problems for the uninitiated, "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers".
I'm by no means skilled in interpreting this kind of complex legalese, but I'm pretty sure this means Nick Griffin's appearance on Question Time would open the gates of Hell. Civilization would immediately collapse, an army of giant robots ants would emerge from the rivers now oozing with blood to reclaim the world from the manplague and mothers would burn their own children alive to spare them the trauma of armageddon.
Or, he might make a fat, racist idiot of himself.
