The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

Here is Andrew Sullivan at his sleazy, underhanded worst. He is undoubtedly a fine writer, and long ago he was also a fine thinker. But he is now a caricature of his former self, plays fast and loose with the facts, and is a curious bigot to boot.

Andrew Sullivan: How Many Children Is Israel Willing to Kill?

In this risible essay he holds Hamas to a perfunctory standard of behavior, but holds Israel to an impossible standard...one that no nation in history has ever attempted, much less achieved. And to buttress that anti-Semitic double standard (yes, Andrew Sullivan is an anti-Semite), he simply ignores the facts of history and military necessity.

And he lies. A quick reading of his essay will yield omissions, but also flagrant deceptions. Israel, according to Excitable Andi, uses 2,000 pound bombs! Apparently in Sullivan's world that is a war crime. But he fails to point out that those bombs are designed to penetrate the earth and destroy tunnels with minimal death and destruction above ground. They are not used indiscriminately...they are used to destroy the unbelievable subterranean network that Hamas uses to conduct their terror operations.

Israel says they're necessary to destroy Hamas's tunnel network, which is, quite obviously, a completely legitimate war aim. But still. Hundreds of massive, indiscriminate bombs in such a tiny, crammed place all but guarantee mass death of innocents. It is simply too easy to put all the blame on Hamas for this. CNN reported last month, "Nearly half of the [29,000] air-to-ground munitions that Israel has used in Gaza in its war with Hamas since October 7 have been unguided, otherwise known as 'dumb bombs.'" This may not be genocide, but it sure pushes right up to the boundary of any legal or moral combat.

Ah...that lovely Sullivanism: "But still." What? Does Sullivan's expertise extend to complex military challenges? Is he an expert in warfare against a terrorist organization that specifically uses a dense urban setting as a shield? Or is it that he wants more Israeli soldiers to die? Because his nonsensical fixation on the inherent unfairness of Israel's war on Hamas suggests that if only many more Israelis were dying it would be more palatable.

And his tepid "this may not be genocide" is followed soon after with the charge of infanticide!

When more than 15 percent of the population are toddlers, any full-scale war ineluctably becomes a mass, intense infanticide. And that is what is in front of our noses right now: thousands of dead children.

At least he didn't suggest that the children of Gaza are being harvested to make matzoh.

But back to the numbers...the unfairness of the war!

Because Hamas is not a nation-state capable of mounting a comparable counterattack, we are also witnessing an inherently lopsided fight, where civilian losses among the Gazans are stratospherically higher than Israeli casualties. It's not a war like the Allies and the Nazis, where two forces matched; it's a war in which one party already controls the entire ground of the other, has vastly superior air and land power, and can pound its enemy with relative impunity.
It therefore looks and feels like a relentless massacre. This is in part, of course, because Hamas deliberately uses civilians as fodder and human shields, and cynically maximizes civilian deaths for propaganda purposes. This too is different than other kinds of war, and it makes it close to impossible to defeat Hamas without massive civilian loss. Hamas bears ultimate responsibility for the carnage. The question is how much care Israel has been taking to minimize the collateral horror, in a population dominated by the young.

This is stupidity on a grand scale. In Sullivan's world the Allies should have stopped bombing Germany and Japan once their air forces had been destroyed. The fight against the Axis became lopsided; because WE WERE WINNING! That's how war works. It isn't a couple of pugilists in a ring with a referee and rules and a couple of pints afterward. It is the destruction of the enemy's capacity to make war and, even more important, his will to make war.

After Israel withdrew from Gaza the prevailing tone among the elites was that a certain number of attacks was inevitable and acceptable to keep the larger "peace." Clearly that appeasement did not work, and Israel is now operating under a new paradigm...one that should have been ingrained in them from the beginning, but was lost for reasons that are rooted in the assumption that Gaza and the West Bank can be moderated by prosperity and relative freedom.

Sullivan doesn't like that new paradigm. He would prefer the world of Rabin and Peres...one of constant appeasement and concession. His solution to the intractable Jew-Hate of the Arabs in Gaza and the West Bank is...what exactly is his answer? Conduct a ground war that does not kill children? That is impossible. Conduct a war with only "smart" bombs that kill only terrorists? That is impossible. Go house to house using ground troops and no air power to avoid collateral damage? Sure...that would mean thousands of dead Israeli soldiers, and while Sullivan probably likes that idea, the people of Israel do not.

Sullivan holds Gaza and Hamas to a minimal standard of behavior...just enough for cover from the charge of being a Hamas supporter. He rightly criticizes the barbarity of the attacks, but then charges Israel with an overreaction. Even his first essay after the October 7th pogrom was seeded with his equivocation. Hamas is evil...But But But! Left unsaid is that he doesn't expect them to behave in a civilized manner, and he doesn't particularly care. The bigotry of low expectations! All he wants is for those pesky Jews in Israel to be paragons of enlightened behavior, and rise above petty tribalism and oh-so-uncomfortable ideas like love of country, love of culture, and love of religion.

Did I say "equivocation?" Actually, in that essay, Sullivan suggests that the creation of the modern state of Israel wasn't such a good idea, because nothing was done for the Arabs. Of course that is arrant nonsense, and exposes one of two things; either Andrew Sullivan is far dumber than many of us thought, or he really is an unrepentant Jew-hating snob.

My money is on the Jew-hate.

30 From the link per Bari Weiss:

Andrew Sullivan is one of this country's great independent thinkers. He’s allergic to tribalism and groupthink, perhaps because, as a gay Catholic and a conservative who makes the case for liberalism better than most liberals, he doesn't really belong in any one tribe. This is part of what makes Andrew such an interesting and important writer.

Andrew's also a friend. A friend I often disagree with on a subject that matters a great deal to me: Israel.

OK, I'm gonna have to go ahead and ask Israel to play the video from October 7th, recorded by Hamas' own killers, showing what they did to Israeli babies and toddlers.

OK.
Now what were you saying about infanticide?
Not endorsing it in a war, but when you're fighting people who do not just think it's OK, but freakin' enjoyed torturing, beheading and burning toddlers. . .? Yeah, maybe the "hey, did you stop to think you might be killing kids?" is not just a dumb assertion, but insulting to Israel.

44 I've become accustomed to saying anti-jewish instead of anti-semitic, which in the context of history makes no sense.

Semitic ethnic groups were associated with people of the Middle East and included Arabs, Jews, Akkadians, and Phoenicians. So if you said someone was anti-semite, it could literally mean anti-arab.

In fact in arabic countries some actually use this line of thinking, they cannot possible be anti-semites because they themselves are semites.

The term was originally coined by a journalist (because of course it would be a fucking journalist, and of course he would be german), and if you want to get an idea of his politics, he wrote an essay called

Der Weg zum Siege des Germanenthums uber das Judenthum, or in English

"The Way to Victory of Germanicism over Judaism."

Waaaaaay back, immediately after 9/11 he sided with Bush on the Iraq war. Within a year or two he backtracked because Bush was not pro-SSM.

But somehow the MSM declared him "conservative" and has used him as a representative of "conservative thought/opinion" ever since, thus taking the place of a legit conservative/entry of legit conservative perspective, values and opinions into the mainstream conversation.

66 Israeli Tanks Storm Back Into North Gaza Areas Where They Had Withdrawn. any path toward de-escalating the war still seems remote, with Israel saying it will not halt until Hamas is destroyed, and the fighters showing no sign of losing the ability to resist.

Carpet bombing the public in Gaza is a crisis. I’m surprised Israel hasn’t killed hostages by friendly fire yet.

The IDF hasn't exactly been careful in who they're shooting. They killed three of their own citizens waving white flags. I doubt that Isrel is killing many Hamas fighters. They are mostly killing women and children.

Majority of Israelis favor voluntary relocation of Gazans to other countries: the poll asked “Are you for or against voluntary transfer emigration of the residents of the Gaza Strip to other countries?” A clear majority – 76% – responded in favor; 16% were against, and 8% had no opinion.

How many innocent children have to die before Israel’s revenge is satisfied? I have lost my sympathy for those who believe so much suffering in Gaza is justified.

I've lost all sympathy for those demanding a ceasefire, while leaving Hamas in power to regroup and attack Israel indefinitely, as has been stated by Hamas leaders living in the lap of luxury in Qatar.

is impossible for Israel to eliminate Hamas in Gaza because the leaders are not even there, nor are its funders. Take away the money, take away their power. Continuing to murder innocent civilians will not accomplish Israel’s goal.

Hamas caused these deaths. The blame falls on Hamas for breaking the cease fire and with their financial backers supporters and antisemitic supporters. They could have provided for these children and maintained some peace but instead just want to rabidly eradicate Israel and the Jewish people.

any occupation of Gaza is unacceptable, as is any relocation of the population.

165 Sullivan’s Jew hate is probably instilled in his British catholic upbringing. Probably raised by the same type of parent as Mel Gibson was.

That upbringing also the reason he ended up as a fake conservative until his mental illness of wanting the dick took over all his decision making and he trashed social conservatism.

Israel really doesn't have the diplomatic leeway to do the necessary, which is-

the provide a safe, narrow, limited corridor to Lebanon or Egypt or who cares, then

bomb and demolish until there's nothing but rubble, redesertification should be the goal.

Then hunt down and kill any remaining soldiers in tunnels or wherever, and herd the rest out the corridor.

Build a wall. And claim "Palestine" as the spoils of war and it is forevermore part of Israel.

This titration of war is stupid in general and should be ended.

2 developments, as far as I can tell, made it ineffective, although I think they are still trying it in some places. 1st, they have learned that the tunnel systems are 600% - 700% *larger* than they had ever imagined, in some instances being almost full underground cities. 2nd, rather than one connected system, they consist of maybe 15 - 20 sophisticated yet independent tunnel systems in various areas, making the entier project at least an order of magnitude more difficult than imagined. The last month they've primarily been sending teams down into them and planting explosives.

In all fairness, he might not have written the article title. Authors often do not.

Posted by: m at January 16, 2024 12:25 PM (CQE5S)

314 I have always thought that anti semitism was almost always exaggerated and not a "thing" among any but a very few, fringe types. Lately my eyes have been opened not only to the usual suspects (the current iteration of fascists and God-haters, by which I mean the hard left); but also by the version of posh, English anti semitism that seems to infect the Andrew Sullivan types.

A good example of this is Martin Amis, who is still one of my favorite writers. Martin has been for most of his life a self-characterized philo-Semite, and is IMO about the greatest recently-living novelist. Reading "Inside Story" he seems to have come full circle, in contemplating his mortality, to come out honestly with his very-English brand of anti-S. Yes he worshipped Saul Bellow --but as a singular figure, and an ironic playing-against-type. I'm afraid the English thing about Jews is really a thing.

Not to mention the *hundreds* of thousands of German, Japanese, and Italian civilians

Posted by: timactual at January 16, 2024 02:27 PM (WY0Ia)

318 How Many Children Is Israel Willing to Kill?

Okay, how many children need to die before Hamas surrenders? I mean, the war could be over tomorrow, if they unconditionally surrender. Like the Germans, Italians, and the Japanese did in WWII.

Oh wait, Hamas won't surrender, even though it is obvious they are going to lose? Carry on then. If they don't care about their own children, why should I?

Posted by: Garbled memo at January 16, 2024 04:36 PM (8E/8X)

319 "Because Hamas is not a nation-state capable of mounting a comparable counterattack, we are also witnessing an inherently lopsided fight, where civilian losses among the Gazans are stratospherically higher than Israeli casualties. It's not a war like the Allies and the Nazis, where two forces matched; it's a war in which one party already controls the entire ground of the other, has vastly superior air and land power, and can pound its enemy with relative impunity."
In fact Hamas is part of the Iranian terrorism network, which has far more land than Israel. An d civilian losses in Gaza are because the terrorists place their weapons next to and sometimes inside of civilian homes.
