28652 Israeli war crimes in Ramallah -- rank: 1000
What's the point of these comparisons, anyway? Israel [is/is not] [as bad as/worse than[ the [Nazis/Khmer Rouge]. Seems distracting and unhelpful to me. Israeli behavior has been criminal, and it comes with the full support of the U.S. (including the check I'm going to write on April 15). Where it stands in the hierarchy of state-sponsored crimes hardly matters. Doug

You have to be sophisticated by experience before you are old enough to argue that, say, it might be wrong to launch a thermonuclear war but not wrong, indeed only prudent, to prepare the weaponry of extermination.

Eh? I think just the opposite - that full-employment policies are a way of increasing the wage share and squeezing profits, which is why capitalists don't like 'em.
