HEIL !!

Good ol' Al Cockburn...so witty and succinct! It must be that perfumed Mendocino air:

How bitterly Harry must regret not dressing up as Captain Cook. Then he could have had an enjoyable Tour of Contrition to the Antipodes and the Pacific region, apologizing to the Maoris and Hawai'ians for insensitivity to genocide. Who wants to go to Auschwitz at this time of year?

Of course the leaders of major Jewish organizations have had a field day, broadcasting their shock and dismay on an hourly basis and telling Harry to jog round the Auschwitz perimeter another couple of times. Moral reprobation from these folk about fancy dress looks threadbare in an age when Israeli soldiers force a Palestinian to play his violin at a border crossing.

How come Sharon didn't send those soldiers to Auschwitz to apologize for having forgotten that it's only sixty years since Jews with fiddles in Eastern Europe were being told by genuine Nazi murderers to hop about and play a few tunes. How come Sharon doesn't have to apologize for anything?
