Finkelstein comments:
After Israeli assassins murdered a 21-year-old medic while she was in uniform and her hands were raised in the air, UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nickolay Mladenov tweeted:
“Israel needs to calibrate its use of force and Hamas needs to prevent incidents at the fence.”
It would appear, however, that Israel needs to STOP TARGETING UNARMED CIVILIANS AND IN PARTICULAR MEDICAL PERSONNEL FOR MURDER. If Hamas already prevents violent incidents at the fence, why does Mladenov drag it in except to affect a phony balance? I would also want to pose a simple question to this groveling coward:
WHEN NAZI GERMANY IMPOSED A BRUTAL SIEGE ON LENINGRAD, WOULD YOU HAVE COUNSELED IT TO “CALIBRATE ITS USE OF FORCE” OR TO IMMEDIATELY AND UNCONDITIONALLY END THE SIEGE, AND WOULD YOU HAVE COUNSELED LENINGRADERS TO CEASE THEIR RESISTANCE OR TO FIGHT UNTO THE DEATH UNTIL THE MURDEROUS SIEGE WAS BROKEN?
If Mladenov couldn’t be a character in War and Peace, it’s because Tolstoy didn’t include in his vast cast of characters a lickspittle.
