His diary points to a Jerusalem Post article about Human Rights Watch analyst, Marc Garlasco, who happens to be enamored of Nazi memorabilia.
The article notes:
A human rights group's senior military analyst has been suspended after a pro-Israel blog reported that he collects Nazi memorabilia, an official said Tuesday.
Marc Garlasco is being suspended by Human Rights Watch "pending an investigation," said Carroll Bogert, associate director of the New York-based organization. The suspension was first reported Monday by The New York Times.
None of this proves anything concerning Garlasco, but I have to say that it gives me irrational glee to watch the dKos I-P regulars scrambling to justify it.
Good for Keith Moon.
Oh, and here, btw, is a photo of Garlasco in one of his Nazi sweatshirts:
I'm sure it's all perfectly innocent.
What human rights monitor doesn't love Nazi stuff?
UPDATE: It's been pointed out to me that the Iron Cross is not exclusive to Nazi Germany, but has a long history in German military tradition. While that may be true, it's also entirely irrelevant. Here we have a guy who spends his days excoriating Israel and who, coincidentally, loves to collect Nazi memorabilia and wears the Iron Cross in public. And people on dKos are seeking to justify it? This would be like if someone investigating the Nation of Islam just happened to be a fan of Confederacy, or KKK, memorabilia.
Give me a small break.

ReplyDeleteHeh....HRW sockpuppetry....could it possibly get any better????
(howls of laughter)
BTW...the Goldstone "report," is out so gird yerselves for the inevitable onslaught just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.
ReplyDeleteOh, joy.
ReplyDelete:O)
Irwin Cotler eviscerates the Goldstone report even before it came out, and the two of them are professional colleagues.
ReplyDeleteAsleep at the wheel
ReplyDelete"Noam Bedein, one of six Israeli civilians who testified before the Goldstone Commission probing Operation Cast Lead blasted the investigation's report Tuesday for equating the actions of Israel and Hamas, saying it was "disgusting," Israel Radio reported.
According to the radio station, Bedein said that Goldstone fell asleep when he was shown clips of Sderot children running for their lives after hearing a Color Red rocket warning siren"

What more can I say?
Blaghghghghg!!!!
ReplyDeleteHe fell asleep?
If true, this pisses me off.
It's always cries of "Oh! The Children! What about the children?!"
But how many of these people give a rat's ass about the children of S'derot or Ashkelon?... not to mention the children of Darfur, Chechnya, or Tibet?
