The Liars and the Idiots

It's lucky for the politicians and talking heads who support the US/Israel terror alliance that most people are idiots, otherwise their lies and misinformation would make them look ridiculous. Here are a few examples from The Ottawa Citizen today :

1) Retired Major-General Lewis MacKenzie, while speaking to a rally in Toronto supporting Israel :

''If Hezbollah truly cared about civilian casualties, they would get their butts out of the residential areas of South Lebanon and fight man to man,''

You mean sort of how the Israelis fight man to man? Like from the cockpits of bombers and fighter aircraft? Or like the Israeli soldiers firing artillery from miles away?

This guys comment reminds me of how the mouthpieces in the US call their enemies cowards for blowing themselves up, meanwhile their army drop bombs from 10,000 feet.

What takes more balls - pressing a button in the cockpit at 10,000 feet and not even seeing the death and destruction you cause, or pressing a button and blowing yourself up to cause the death and destruction?

2) Prime Minister Stephen Harper, when asked if he agreed with UN Secretary General Kofi Annan's assessment that the Israeli strike on a UN observation post in southern Lebanon may have been deliberate :

''I certainly doubt that to be the case, given that the government of Israel has been co-operating with us in our evacuation efforts, in our attempts to move Canadian citizens out of Lebanon, and also trying to keep our own troops that are on the ground involved in that evacuation out of harms way. So, I seriously doubt that,''

First off, Israel striking a UN post on one hand and 'co-operating' with evacuation efforts on the other have nothing to do with each other. At all. Second, I guess he missed the part about the warning calls to the IDF from the UN post itself, and from the UN headquarters in New York. Oh yeah, and the part about Israel using precision weapons.

3) Alan Baker, Israel's ambassador to Canada :

''What earthly reason would Israel have to deliberately target a UN post,"

Hmm. Let's see. Perhaps they had evidence supporting reports that Israel is using banned weapons in its offensive. Perhaps they wanted them out of there before an upcoming event in order to ensure there were no credible witnesses. I'm not saying definitively that this is the case, however it shows that there would be an 'earthly' reason.

Like I said at the outset, most people are idiots without the capacity for critical thought, so when statements such as above are made, they are rarely if ever called on them. The world is run by hate-filled liars, who know the majority will believe what they are told without even thinking about it.

How is it that lies, double standards and idiocy are winning over truth, justice and intelligence?
