From BackSpin : Weighing in links to a Guardian article by Daphna Baram called Sharon's cellmate
She makes all the usual noises , rabid ken is NOT a racist , Sharon is a war criminal and so on..
and then comes the twist
Everything that is said about Ariel Sharon (war , occupation ,death ) can also be said about Tony Blair so :
The final paragraph
"So my message to the British left is: either moderate your language when talking
about Sharon, or escalate it when talking about Blair. One way or another, it is
time to set equal standards. "
Couldn't have said it better myself
The thing is that knowing Daphna there is the possibility that she is in earnest about this and isn't just being sarcastic. I wonder how she'll rationalize it when her leftist british acquaintances never change their tone re Blair .
( the title of the backspin post is a personal dig about daphna's figure which I think they(he?) deserves a slap for)
