DAMN BUTTERFLY BALLOTS

John Pilger:

The vote for Hamas was actually a vote for peace.

UPDATE. Murph asks after a story involving Pilger behaving untidily during a business class flight to the UK. Right here, Murph.

UPDATE II. Farouk: “No-Em CHOMP-eskay! This name I like! It is fun to say!”

  1. In short, man is man because he may know the True, the Good and the Beautiful, and act upon that knowledge with a will that is free. ... Judged by these criteria, academia is by and large a very sick place ... But in our own world, approximately half of the population suffers from a soul pathology that prevents them from making judgments on, or even perceiving, the soul pathology of our external enemies. ... For if leftists were to acknowledge these ... they would no longer be leftists. They would be cured.see link

  2. The vote for Hamas was actually a vote for peace.

    This is true, so long as you don’t mind getting to “peace” over the dead bodies of most of Israel.

  3. Yeah, peace.  It’s a long term thing.  In the meantime there’s a whole passel of Jews to kill.  And a country to annihilate…

  4. I understand the notion that “if they accepted the truth, they would no longer be leftists”, but is there any chance that these “self-hating Jews” are just examples of Winston Churchill’s “appeasers feeding the crocodile”?

  5. Well, there was a unilateral cease-fire in place, which formed a major part of their election campaign.

  6. A vote for Hoover was actually a vote for Roosevelt.

    A vote for Democrats is actually a vote for Republicans.

    A vote for stupid is actually a vote for smart.

    Welcome to the parallel universe of John Pilger.

  7. Just like a vote for Kerry/Beazley is a vote for strong leadership.

  8. Pilger is a hate-filled, irrelevent old nutcase.

    For a narcissist like him, the worst punishment is not the contempt of other people, (in which he revels, because it means they’re paying attention to his precious self), it’s being ignored. And he is being ignored, the world is turning away from his revolting kind, leaving him washed-up and stranded in his pathetic old age with nothing to show for all his years of ranting and foaming but a bunch of sleazy and dishonest propaganda films nobody under fifty remembers.

    George Bush is in the Whitehouse, Howard is in the lodge. You like that? How does that feel? Is the impotent rage like acid in your stomach, you pathetic old scumbag?

    And don’t think the disgusting vermin of the Islamist fringe are going to avenge the death of your precious Soviet sugar-daddy, we’re going to kill them too and piss on their graves.

    So fuck you Pilger, ha ha!

  9. #1: Blogstrop - you left out one of the best bits of your quote:

    Thus, there are no feminist groups who have rallied behind George Bush, who has liberated more Muslim women than perhaps any other human being in history.

  13. Tim,

    Thank you for drawing attention to such an important article (if you haven’t read it, please do so now).

    It is so important that the world realise this problem won’t end with the Jews. It simply starts with the Jews.

    Posted by Dan Lewis on 2006 10 20 at 08:21 AM • permalink

  14. I agree Dan

    Tim should have quoted it more liberally:

    In his visit to Lebanon earlier this year, Noam Chomsky justified Hizbullah’s military arsenal as a “deterrent to potential aggression.” Lebanese commentators were quick to express their disgust, warning that failure to disarm Hizbullah would lead to war – a prophesy that was fulfilled shortly afterward.

    Was it in spite of this prospect, or because of it, that Chomsky allowed himself to be filmed greeting the terrorist commanders as long-lost friends? Could any parodist capture the scene of the taxpayer-financed American Jewish professor advising these murderers of Americans and Jews that instead of surrendering their weapons they should “inform the public and get them to understand your position” so that “they will put pressure on the politicians” to capitulate?

    And:

    For the widely read columnist and documentary maker John Pilger – who ascribes Britain’s Middle East policy to the nefarious machinations of a single Jewish businessman – Hizbullah embodies “resistance to rapacious power…humanity at its noblest.”

  17. Pig-er, Chompsky, Sorass, Marx, etc only emphasize the historical fact that Jews have been plagued by a scum of self-haters for thousands of years (see revolt against Moses, Korach (sp?)) Chomsky, Sheehan, Burr, et al emphasize the historical fact that the United States has been plagued by self haters for hundreds of years. The Jews and Americans are maligned greater than all others by self haters. And the self-haters are consistently vicious, self-absorbed, amoral, crazed with rage, murderous assholes. Why?

  18. “Before Israel dies, it must be humiliated and degraded. Allah willing, before they die, they will experience humiliation and degradation every day… Allah willing, we will make them lose their eyesight, we will make them lose their brains.” – Khaled Mashal, Hamas leader

    Uhhhh, you mean like you and your ilk, having no eyesight or brain, Khaled?

    Never, oh brainless one….You see, (pardon the pun) if you and yours had “brains”, you would have “eyesight”. Instead, you and yours are filled with hate from head to toe. Hopefully in the near future, you and yours, will have neither.

    AND I’m damn sick and tired, of Islamic “humiliation”. Your cult and book gave you that gift, leave the cult and burn the book, Khaled.

    Isn’t pilger a lager? Oh wait, that’s pilsner, sorry.

  19. Ha! Whenever I see Pilger’s name mentioned I think of a story I read on somebody’s blog a few years back (I think it was Scott Campbell from Blithering Bunny).

    Anyhow, BloggerX gets on a long haul flight from London to Sydney.  He walks down the aisle finds his seat in business class, asks the gentleman sitting in the aisle seat if he could allow him past.  The gentleman looks up, BloggerX does a double take: it’s John bloody Pilger!  Pilger looks annoyed, reluctantly gets up and lets BloggerX past.

    The flight takes off, Pilger is tapping away on his laptop.  BloggerX chooses an in-flight movie: Spiderman.  Pilger keeps tapping away.  Half way through the movie, BloggerX notices Pilger peering over the top of his glasses, intently watching Spiderman on BloggerX’s screen.  After a few seconds, BloggerX turns and looks at Pilger.  Pilger gives him a look like he’s just been caught cheating in an exam, quickly turns away with his nose in the air and mumbles something dismissive.

    Absolute.  Fucking. Classic.

    Can anyone else recall that one?  Who was it?  Google is yielding no results.

  22. I read this article several days ago on Melanie Philips’ website.  It made me sick to my stomach. I have had it with Muslims, their fragile egos, their incessant demands and their expectations that everyone else MUST conform their what THEY want.  I’m more disgusted with our leadership and the fact that they have done next to nothing about our energy dependence.

    As for the Islamists, I would like nothing more than to help them:  buy nothing from the Muslim world, sever relations, no trade, no emigration to our countries, no student exchanges, etc.  And I would extend card blanche to the Israel.

    I have been helping my 9-year-old daughter research our ancestors from Norway for her school project.  We were looking at pictures of Norway on the Internet and admiring the beautiful countryside, the fjords and the capital.  Thank G-d she was sleeping when I came upon a story about mosques in Oslo and she was spared seeing such filth.  Yes, the mosque, that altar of abomination; the monument dedicated to the destruction of all reason, scientific inquiry, free will, and liberty.

  23. In the rubble of Hamas headquarters in Gaza, during a lull between assassination attempts on Fatah:

    Achmed:  Did you see what this John Pilger has said, “The vote for Hamas was actually a vote for peace.”

    Farouk: Peeel-jurrr. Peeel-jurrr.  Peeeel-jurrr. It is like the sound of driving with a flat tire!  What kind of name is this?

    Ali: an unclean Christian dog’s name, what do you think, you chattering magpie.  This Pilger is one of many idol-worshippers who espouse the righteousness of Islam and the Umma in our struggle against the Zionists and Fatah.

    Achmed: Here’s another one.  Michael Warschawski.  “Palestinian unity is fighting the Occupation.”  He is right!  When we have killed those idiots at Fatah, we will have unity!

    Farouk: Wurrrr-chuh-efskay.  Waaaaaaarrr-CHUFF-skay! It is as if having upchucked, one must then blow bits of falafel from one’s nose!  What kind of name is this, Ali?

    Ali:  It would appear to be a filthy Jewish pig name, Farouk, although sometimes it is difficult to tell.  This is why it is necessary not to discriminate, to maintain an open mind, and kill them all as one, the same.

    Farouk:  A Christian-Jew pigdog who espouses the unity of Palestine, exactly as we do?  A wonder!

    Achmed:  There are many of them.  One of the most famous is the Jew Noam Chomsky, an genius of MIT in Amerikiyah.

    Farouk: No-Em CHOMP-eskay!  This name I like!  It is fun to say! 

    Ali: It is true, our cause has been greatly aided by the kind sympathy and guilt of many blasphemous blood-drinkers.  These we call ‘dhimmi.’

    Farouk: Should we then not kill them when the Day of Liberation arrives? 

    Ali:  Not at first.  We will need someone to sweep up and also to keep the electric on.  But because money is evil in the hands of dhimmi, we will have to take it from them. Eventually, of course, if they do not convert, wear burkhas and stop having sex with each others’ wives on the Internet ...   

    Farouk:  Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

    Ali: Yes, it is funny, Farouk, how we use these fools!

    Farouk:  No, no, on the television.  I am watching The Stooges of Three.  It is funny!

    Achmed: What is this, Crusader propaganda you watch!?!

    Farouk:  No, no, it is an important documentary about Jews, how they fight among themselves and can accomplish nothing!  Ha ha ha ha! You see the Emir of this tribe, al-Moe, how he pokes the bald stupid one they call ibn Curly ... doik! ... I do not understand all of it.  Even though al-Moe is in charge, he is also a fool! Hmmmm. Reminds me of someone ...

    Farouk casts a sidelong glance at Ali.

    Ali:  what are you saying, you scurrying cockroach!   

    Farouk:  Nothing, Ali. Look, al-Larry has just turned around while carrying a board and has hit the Moe, who falls!  Ha ha ha! It is funny when the Emir is knocked down! He gets very angry and says, “Wiiiii-yooo, Eye-otta!”  What does this mean, Achmed?

    Ali: Funny when the emir gets knocked down, eh?  I’ll show you funny!

    Ali uses two extended fingers to poke Farouk in the eyes. Farouk slaps his own head while spinning in place.

    Farouk: Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo!

    Achmed, who has been stacking Katyusha missile crates, turns around to see what the commotion is, and accidentally hits Ali in the head with a box.

    Ali:  Why you! I oughta ...

  27. Yeah crittenden, I agree with ushie, give up the Boston Red Sox gig, huh?...lol.

    Oh and with this…So I let a nurse jab my arm to satisfy my wife’s concerns. Within a day, a red bump the size of a dime appeared on my forearm, the redness around it the size of a quarter. My own doctor, who used to work in a TB clinic in India, opined that was an indicator of recent exposure....we share a common experience.

    I was on isoniazid for two damn years, (not the normal 9 months or so, usually the course of action) before being cleared.

    My Doc, on a whim (well actually because of a constant recurrence of bronchitis) shot me up saying…nothing to worry about, but if it turns red, see me immediately. When I walked into his office, his first words were, OH SHIT. Grasping the meaning of his two word phrase, I shot back, well fix it, damn it.

  28. Two years, Cid?  Damn ... in retrospect, I’m thinking my six months without bourbon was a waste of time.  This is America.  Your TB turns active, you can kill it. Of course by then the wife and kids have it, so there’s that.

    Anyway, Cid and Ushie, I have no idea why anyone would want to be a writer. Fool’s game.  Look at that other Crittenden you’re talking about and our own Tim Blair.  A couple of smart, good-looking guys, utterly wasting their talents when they could be doing something useful.

    Well, at least the restaurants in Montreal are decent.

    Canada is full of Pilgers - third-rate intellects like Gwynne Dyer peddling the same old utopian hatred and head-chopper worship, who appear weekly on TV and radio, and get their drivel syndicated into every other provincial chain-owned paper in the country. Twenty years of conservative governments won’t flush these chancre sores from our system.

  33. Yep.  There are intellectuals who have more blood on their hands than any jihadi.  They are the ones who disarm the West and justify the enemy.  They have much to answer for.

    Hitler was only seeking peace, just as Hamas.  The effect for any Jew, including Kapos like Chomsky, is the peace of the grave. 

    Now for the important stuff:  Crittenden, I told you that you were being wasted at the Herald.  It seems others agree.  Your three stooges put things in perspective better than any ponderous article telling us the obvious (not that yours are ponderous, they’re just too short).  I’m always happy to see them show up; they just have a way of clearing up any lingering questions.  Wonderful stuff.  Better than a whole library of Pilgers and Chomskys (ummm, a poor compliment, that, but meant well).

  38. Thank you for the link to the article Tim.

    Apart from all the bloodthirsty gloating about Jewish death I notice that all these murderous states and groups are constantly having conferences.
    Questions:
    Who are their event organisers?
    Who hires their premises to these Oriental goons?
    Do they recycle all their notes and papers after the conferences?
    Do they know that any computer activity on their part is faciltated by the work, imagination and application of various Jewish geeks?
    Anyone with answers to the above? Anyone? Bueller?

  40. Pilger literally has no fucking idea. This guy is so far removed from reality that he deserves to be on another planet with all the other psychos of the world, least to say Hamas. Then he can convert to extremist Islam there and further profess the death of the Jews, because in reality, anything he proposes about the Middle East involves the annihilation of Israel.

    Pilger - get fucked. For good.
