What Do You Call Two Dead Nazis?

A good start.

So, someone killed two Israeli diplomats in D.C. and everyone is crying crocodile tears and screaming about anti-semitism. (One of them was a Christian fundamentalist, as an aside.)

These two diplomats are agents of a genocidal state. Their job is to keep the weapons and ammunition flowing to Israel so that Israel can kill more Palestinians, wipe out the last remaining hospital, torture Palestinians, rape Palestinians (including, it appears, with dogs), deliberately snipe children in the head, cause a huge famine, and turn every building in Gaza into dust.

And I’ve left a number of sickening crimes out.

So, am I sad they are dead? No. Am I going to pretend I give a shit when someone who supports genocide winds up dead? No. Every single pious well wishing for Biden is the equivalent of wishing Petain, the leader of Vichy France, who helped the Holocaust along, a good life.

All of these people are knowingly involved in genocide. They have had many opportunities to stop supporting mass murder and they have refused every single one of them.

They are all, forgive me for using the word, evil. The bad guys. Torture. Rape. Mass murder. Deliberate killing of children.

It is my dream that every single one of them will eventually hang from the neck for their crimes. No exceptions. And I think it would be wise to add the corporate leadership of companies like Palantir and Microsoft, both of which are helping the genocide along.

This is a moral stance, but it is also a pragmatic stance. People who have gotten away with genocide once are not the sort of people anyone wise wants in their society, or in a position of power anywhere. Once could easily become twice.

You don’t even have to give a damn about Palestinians, you just have to have good judgment and a concern for your own neck and the lives, rectums and limbs of people you care about.

From the neck. Till dead. For everyone who knowing aided or committed genocide.

(Addendum): if this is someone lashing out in rage at any Jew and just happening to kill two Israeli diplomats I can only say “thank God he killed evil people” and note that the reason that people are conflating “Jewish” with “Zionist”, as I have written repeatedly, is that Israel constantly says they’re the same thing and then goes on to mass murder children, rape, torture and so on. Some people are going to believe them “oh, Israel is Jewish, not Zionist. The Israelis say they’re the same thing. So do many non Israeli Jews. I guess they know what they’re talking about.” Nobody and nothing causes more anti-semitism in the world than Israel itself, for them to cry crocodile tears about anti-Jewish racism after plastering themselves with the Torah then covering themselves in the blood of children is nauseating.

And, for a little leavening of the anger and rage, a classic:

    I don’t think that there is any evidence that the killer knew they were embassy employees, they just happened to be two people coming out of a jewish museum. So all signs point to antisemitism in this case. Happy to be proven wrong.

    We’ll see. If he just wanted to kill Jews his motivation was bad, but just like someone who wanted to kill two Germans in 1942 and wound up killing two Nazis, he still killed evil people.

    Of course, 97% of Israelis or so think the level of force in Gaza is appropriate, so unlike Germany in 1942, your odds of finding a good Israeli are might slim indeed. (And yes, I know this happened in the US.)
