Elmoron of The Day

We already knew Elmo had problems, including a preoccupation with killing and harrassment.

Now Elmo is dabbling in the ancient art of antisemitism.

Oh Elmo, did you not learn anything from Seth?

Methinks he’s either been tickled one time too many, or he’s been hanging out with Mel Gibson.

Update: In an exclusive interview with Israellycool, Elmo said he really meant to refer to Zionists only, and not Jews. He also denied being antisemitic just because he criticizes Israel.

  1. There’s no doubt this idiot’s an antisemite, but for the record, it is possible to criticize Israel without being one. Israel is as far form perfect as many other countries, though far better than many more. The distinction is whether one criticizes Israel for things that one ignores elsewhere, or to the exclusion of worse things going on elsewhere. Then of course there’s the lovely trick of exaggerating the nastiness of Israel’s actions while pretending the other side is sweetness personified. The use of genuinely vicious rhetoric in this is also surefire indicator of antisemitism. The antisemite is also usually pretty obvious from the use of good old antisemitic imagery tropes and libels. Anti-Zionism is a pretty good sign as well, since that line of thought would deny the Jewish people’s right to self-determination in favor of the rights of a people who have already self-determined their national status 22 times.

    1. “Israel is as far form perfect as many other countries, though far better than many more. The distinction is whether one criticizes Israel for things that one ignores elsewhere, or to the exclusion of worse things going on elsewhere.”

      So I’ve got an idea that sidesteps the whole sticky issue of worthiness to criticize, hypocrisy of each side, moral authority and all that rot:

      The world is not a global village; what goes on in another part of the world is none of your business, unless it threatens you directly (like Islamic imperialism).

      I may have an opinion on the conflicts in Northern Ireland and Sri Lanka, but that gives me no authority to butt in, telling the sides involved in those conflicts what they should do. That applies the same way to all those busybodies telling the Jewish State what to do, where it is permitted to build, and how smaller it must become for the sake of “peace.”

      And if the internationalist do-gooders drag the Holocaust into the discussion, saying, “You’re OK with the world not intervening to save the Jews back then?”, my answer is: There are far more reliable ways for a nation to ensure its safety than any kind of alliance or call for aid; in addition, it’s easy for interventionism to be for the side of injustice, the way it happened when Clinton shamefully helped the Islamic imperialist aggressors against their Serb victims.

      No criticism! For whatever reason! Because what goes on in my house is my business, not yours, would-be world government nannies!

        The world is not a global village. But Israel is not just another country. Israel is a beacon to diaspora Jews the world over. Don’t they have a say in what’s happening in a potential future homeland? And American taxpayers who’ve given billions of dollars to Israel, don’t they have a say on what goes on in Israel? And don’t friends who see Israelis heading down a dangerous course have an obligation to help steer them back on the right course? Face it, you’re stuck with us whether you like it or not, ziontruth.

        1. You’re the type of “friends” who have led Israel down a life-threatening path.

          But you’re not really to blame. You’re just one in the herd. It’s stupid Jews in charge in Israel who are at fault for being directly responsible.

          1. Jim from Iowa

            I heart Jews even more than I heart Obama. I even heart what you call stupid Jews (is that even possible to have stupid Jews? — well there is Sid Rosenberg). Rabin was a national hero for pursuing peace. Sharon took the right stance in evacuating Gaza. Just because you disagree with them doesn’t make them “stupid Jews.” Even Bibi is starting to look acceptable to me given his position on Givat Ulpana. There’s still hope that his government will finally do the right thing and give Conservative and Reform Jews the same legal standing as the Ultra-Orthodox in Israel.

            1. As Reagan said, the problem with you Leftists isn’t that you’re ignorant, it’s that you know so much that isn’t so.

            2. “Sharon took the right stance in evacuating Gaza.”

              The inhabitants of Sderot can tell you all about it.

        2. “But Israel is not just another country. Israel is a beacon to diaspora Jews the world over. Don’t they have a say in what’s happening in a potential future homeland?”

          Yes, they have a say, but they’re a tiny minority that doesn’t drive world policy, contrary to the all the ZOG conspiracists’ allegations. That the Jewish State has been in the unfair crosshairs of Western criticism is not because of the Diaspora Jews, but because of far too many people, mostly non-Jewish, who have seen it fit to butt into something that is no concern of theirs.

          Again, compare how the world relates to the conflict of Sri Lanka. Tamils or Sinhalese living outside Sri Lanka have a say on this matter, but if others started weighing in so much as to impact world policy with regard to Sri Lanka, that would be a clear case of interventionist overreach.

          “And American taxpayers who’ve given billions of dollars to Israel, don’t they have a say on what goes on in Israel?”

          So that’s what the “aid” money is for, huh? To give America the right to boss the Jewish State about? This is no aid, this is extortion. At such a price, it would be better for Israel to do without it.

          “And don’t friends who see Israelis heading down a dangerous course have an obligation to help steer them back on the right course?”

          No. That’s my whole point. A word of advice, said once and not repeated if rejected, is the most you have a right to. More than that, as in actively “helping steer us back on the right course,” is interventionist overreach. It’s as if Israel were to actively steer U.S. local economic policies.

          “Face it, you’re stuck with us whether you like it or not…”

          No more than we were stuck with France in the 1950s. Late 1960s the special France–Israel relationship went up in smoke; it could happen just as well to the U.S.–Israel relationship, and if that relationship is one of extortionist and extorted, then I say it can’t happen too soon.

            We Americans are nothing like the French. Think of our relationship like a brotherhood. A brotherhood that was featured in the Farelly Brothers movie “Stuck On You” where Matt Damon and Greg Kinear played conjoined twins. That’s Israel and America, conjoined at the hip, to rise or fall as one. Get used to it, we’re here to stay in your life forever.

            1. “We Americans are nothing like the French.”

              OK, so you, or at least your State Department, are like the British, pursuing the mollifying of Arab interests on the Jewish State’s expense.

              “Think of our relationship like a brotherhood.”

              Brothers don’t tell brothers to keep giving their money to the school bullies. Especially not after they’ve seen their brothers getting beaten by those bullies even after they’d given them so much of the little money they have.

              “That’s Israel and America, conjoined at the hip, to rise or fall as one. Get used to it, we’re here to stay in your life forever.”

              Only God gets to determine what’s temporary and what’s forever. Get with the program of the Land of Israel belonging to the Jewish nation, or, just as fine, turn apathetic and neutral on the whole issue, but if you insist on pressuring the already small Jewish habitat to become even smaller, the Policymaker On High will dissolve this relationship just as He did with France.

  2. In a further update, police apprehended Elmo and brought him to Metropolitan Hospital to have his head examined.
