At the beginning of the month it was toys:
Now it’s pets:
We’re not going to go the PETA route and say that it’s worse to kill animals than humans because animals are uninvolved in the human-engineered conflict. We’ll pose a more modest question: what kind of animal targets children and pets for deliberate destruction? We’re not talking rationally on a scale of “well this group deserves this much violence, while this group only deserves this much violence…” Just on a visceral, human level – who the hell hides bombs in pigeon cages and toys? Who the hell wants to murder children and pets? There are very, very deep instincts buried very, very deep in humans that scream against this. In a very clinical sense, you have to be very sick – beyond help – to coldly do something like this.
We’re trying to figure out a way that we can blame Israel for what these barbarians do, but we just can’t come up with anything. No worries, we’re sure that the left side of the blogosphere will come up with some reason.
