Anti-Semitic Anti-Zionist Trolls In TNR’s Comment Section Bring Up Interesting Rhetorical Question

WikiHow has a post up about How to Write Political Fiction. It was originally aimed at people who want jobs as NYT political reporter, but there’s a rule on the Internet that only one site is allowed to bait Mickey Kaus in any given two-week span. And TNR already had a pro-Israel article on Oct 25.

Oh, also, check out this angel in the TNR comments section:

1) Zionist traitors in the US government must be arrested and tried for the treason of manipulating the USA into waging war against Iraq for the sake of Israel. These traitors must also be tried for the mass murder of the approximately 600,000 Iraqis that have been killed as a result of the treason of Zionists in senior positions in the US government. [I have met Galbraith. I am surprised that he would so completely adopt the Zionist vision of a Middle East safe for the genocidal Zionist state by a bloody division of the various states into failed statelets on ethnic religious or tribal loyalties.]

2. The USA must demonstrate its bona fides by dismantling the State of Israel and sending Zionist war criminals to the Hague for trial.

3. Then the USA could work with Turkey, Syria, Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah to create an Iraq-state that would stabilize the region.

We think there’s a chance that this is meant sarcastically (although on second and third readings it doesn’t appear to be the case). Still, the point remains – isn’t it troubling enough that you just can’t tell?

Oh, and by the way. When he says “Zionist”, he means “Jew”. Just an FYI.
