Is there nothing even remotely "okay" about Jews to the psychos that make of Hezbollah and their radical Islamic allies? Even Anne Frank is now getting the treatment:

Anne Frank's diary has been censored out of a school textbook in Lebanon following a campaign by the militant group Hezbollah claiming the classic work promotes Zionism.

In Keith Olbermann's now-Rec-Listed diary, he posed this question:

Yet, all of this does raise an issue. Just because Fox and Beck have done this, do I want to? Do I want to, even for a moment, be Glenn Beck? I mean, I am risking at least three things he doesn't have: the respect of my peers, self-respect, and a conscience.

With all due respect, Mr. Olbermann, to most of the country, you already are the Glenn Beck of the left. Is this fair? Obviously not. But it remains true.

Incredible, yet not really surprising, news out just now that our weapons industry keeps rolling along, despite the bum economy:

The United States signed weapons agreements valued at $37.8 billion in 2008, or 68.4 percent of all business in the global arms bazaar, up significantly from American sales of $25.4 billion the year before.

Italy was a distant second, with $3.7 billion in worldwide weapons sales in 2008, while Russia was third with $3.5 billion in arms sales last year — down considerably from the $10.8 billion in weapons deals signed by Moscow in 2007.

Coming on the heels of the largest Swedish newspaper printed a blood libel accusing Israeli Jews of an impossible organ harvesting scheme (Excuse for anti-Semitism: 'No evidence, but it's possible...'), the second largest newspaper in Spain, El Mundo, today published an interview with Holocaust-denying 'historian' David Irving as one of six with "expert[s]" on World War II coinciding with the 70th anniversary of the war's beginning.

While we in the DailyKos Israel/Palestinians debate try to temper down our rhetoric to improve the dialogue, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez cranks the dial to 10:

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, on a visit to Damascus on Thursday, lambasted Israel as a "genocidal" and "killer" state and demanded the return of the Golan Heights to Syria.

"The state of Israel has become a genocidal state, a killer state, enemy of peace," he said at a press conference with Syrian counterpart Bashar al-Assad.

Reading the Washington Post this morning, I came across a Letter to the Editor by Edwin L. Fountain of Arlington, Virginia criticizing how a health care reform op-ed by Michael Kinsley that had run a few days earlier had labeled the practice of insurers not covering preexisting conditions as "odious":

As a result, in the 14 years since [Clinton's attempt at reform failed], millions more are uninsured, and here we are trying reform again. I'd like to think that if it goes down this time -- when even the insurance companies are on board, promising to eliminate their odious policies about preexisting conditions -- Republicans will pay for having killed it, if indeed they do kill it. But they didn't pay the last time.

Fountain's response, while you may or may not agree with it, puts the entire health insurance/health care debate in its proper context:

Yet another unneeded obstacle to peace:

Hamas condemned the United Nations Sunday, saying it planned to teach Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip about the Holocaust -- but the U.N. agency which runs schools in the enclave would not confirm any change.

Branding the Nazi genocide of the Jews "a lie invented by the Zionists," the Islamist movement which runs the Gaza Strip wrote in an open letter to a senior U.N. official that he should withdraw plans for a new history book in U.N. schools.

On the heels of Sweden's most widely read newspaper, Aftonbladet, publishing and then defending what most consider an antisemitic article about Israeli troops harvesting organs from Palestinians, an Israeli lawyer is suing the paper in New York City for libel:

The $7.5 million suit, which names the paper and writer Donald Bostrom, was filed in Manhattan Supreme Court on Tuesday, according to [Guy] Ophir, who said the article's allegations were anti-Semitic and amounted to "racist blood libel" against Jews and Israeli soldiers.
