The New York Times has vomited an editorial

I would not even link to the smug and repugnant editorial in the New York Times about the Syrian situation.  As if the paper does not know that readers around the world know full well that nothing is published in the paper about the Middle East (or beyond sometimes) that does not reflect the interests of Israeli occupation and war crimes.  Nothing.  The paper vomited salutations to the Syrian people.  You think that you are fooling somebody among the Syrian people (other than that guy in Washington, DC that you take as the overwhelming leader of the Syrian people just as you treated Ahmed Chalabi for decades as the ultimate leader of all Iraqis) when you salute the courage of the Syrian people? Did you salute the courage of Palestinians who stand up to Israeli occupation? Did you ever salute the courage of the Syrian people when they stand up to Israeli occupation?  This is a propaganda sheet for US Zionism that takes itself way too seriously.  Just reviewing the record of the paper prior to the war on Iraq in 2003 is sufficient to discredit the paper for decades to come.  This is a paper in which Thomas Friedman is a foreign affairs columnist, for potato's sake.  I never thought that I would miss William Safie--at least the latter was an interesting writer who did not labor to sound funny.
