Meindert Fennema vraagt zich serieus af "of er vanuit democratisch oogpunt iets onoorbaars schuilt in het opkomen voor de belangen van Israël"

Het antwoord is simpelweg dat er 'vanuit democratisch oogpunt' niets 'onoorbaars schuilt,' werkelijk niets, aangezien democratie geen moreel criterium is, maar een systeem waarbij de meerderheid de door de elite uitgestippelde koers sanctioneert. Vergeet niet: Hitler kwam in een democratie aan de macht. Dus kan de democratie zonder enige morele wroeging de zionistische terreur steunen. En dat gebeurt dan ook.

Hannah Arendt schreef in Remembering Wystan H. Auden over dit slag mensen:

'In the forties, there were many who turned against their old beliefs, but there were very few who understood what had been wrong with those beliefs. Far from giving up their belief in history and succes they simply changed trains, as it were; the train of Socialism and Communism had been wrong, and they changed to the train of Capitalism or Freudianism or some refined Marxism, or a sophisticated mixture of all three. Auden instead, became a Christian; that is, he left the train of history altogether.'

I could (which you cannot)
Find reasons fast enough
To face the sky and roar
In anger and despair
At what is going on,
Demanding that it name
Whoever is to blame:
The sky would only wait
Till all my breath was gone
And then reiterate
As if I wasn't there
That singular command
I do not understand,
Bless what there is for being,
Which has to be obeyed, for
What else am I made for,
Agreeing or disagreeing?

W.H. Auden
