New York lawyer celebrates death

Published by marco on

The article Sinwar Is Dead, So What Happens Next? by Scott H. Greenfield (Simple Justice) writes,

 The last moments of Yahya SinwarThe mastermind of the October 7th tragedy, Yahya Sinwar, was fortuitously killed. Other than the terminally ignorant, this is recognized as both a great thing and a necessity for the future of the middle east. Of course, it wasn’t necessary before, as so many clamored for a ceasefire while Sinwar remained alive and ready to do it again and again, a detail that didn’t seem to prevent fantasies of peace. But hey, now that he’s dead, it’s over, right?”

Yawn. Good ol’ Greenfield is back with another scintillating take on U.S. foreign policy and world affairs. He’s so insightful and nuanced, so aware of historical context, so aware of what is even going on right now, anywhere. I don’t really need to go any further, as he starts citing Thomas Friedman at length and there’s only so much dumbness I can handle in one blog post. I’m willing to fight through Greenfield’s opinions because he occasionally writes something good. When he starts off with the paragraph above, then moves to fighting with Friedman over whose uninformed, imbecilic and, frankly, completely immoral opinion is better, I am outtathere.

I did skip to the end, though, where he writes,

“[…] a future for Palestine is possible. It’s not possible as long as the primary goal is terror, destruction and death.”

He is, of course, talking about literally everyone but his precious, sainted Israel and U.S. I’m sure he doesn’t see the irony at all, nor would he were someone to point it out. He would only get very, very, very mad and then ban them from his comments.
