Hilltop trailer madness

Today a friend told me that I seemed unusually angry at the world, unusually disgusted wiht human ignorance, and I thought he was wrong, but as of right now I'm reconsidering that. A simple look at the news today proved him right and me very inflamable. Let me see how much anger I can summon.

Just now I read that the Israeli Settlers in the West Bank (8,000 people living among 1.3 million Palestinians) compared Sharon's pullout plan (the one reasonable thing I've seen him do) to the Holocaust. They have a plan to start wearing yellow stars as a protest symbol. I don't think there is enough bile I can pour on that comparison, no metaphor to adequately capture the extent of my revulsion at how low they've sunk, to bastardize a still-recent, still-fresh event for the ideological gain of a very small number of fringe nutcases. The majority of the quarter-million Holocaust survivors in Israel condemned the comparison, but I have to pile my own comments, because not doing nothing may result in some acid refulx and a very unhappy night of screaming to my parents as they smile and nod and back away. These people; when they go back to Israel (and they will go back, like it or not) are they facing furnaces? Will they be packed into trains like sub-par cattle, like vegetables--cheek to cheek, anaerobically? Will their children be split from them because they're not exploitable for forced labour for the IDF? Do they face nonexistent rations and slow burning starvation that will turn them into lanky, leathery ghosts trusting of nothing, twitching at everyhting? Do the settlers face sexual humiliation for their ultra-religious daughters? Do they face no-ethics medical experimentation: low-pressure simulations, paralysis and slow death, infection with unimaginably virulent diseases, dissection without anaesthetic? Are they on the list to get gassed with pesticide long enough to feel a moment of the sheerest fucking terror, of clawing over others, tooth and limb for the door, of evacuatng their bowels before they die, before the clean-up crews come to dispose of them like cockroaches? Are they going to be machine-gunned and buried in ditches, some still alive, some babies still crying, tohught not worth a bullet? Are they going to be tied together and shot to save bullets? Are they going to be forced to march until their feet are worn to the bone--to the fucking bone, and even gangrene has no time to set on the flesh before it's stripped away? Will they suffer with every disease we know, crammed 1000-fold beyond capacity? Will soldiers throw their babies in the air to use as target practice? If not, they need to shut the fuck up. I'm losing it just thinking about their smirking as they shit in the mouths of every dead Jew (and other) 59 years ago. Fuck the fucking fuckers. I wish this language offered me stronger fucking expletives. Holocaust-guilt works against just about anyone but other Jews. Moving 8,000 people will probably present no problem; it will not, indeed can not result in overcrowding anywhere in Israel; they can form their own tiny town if thye wish. Their vehement opposition to the pullot (the only practical move) is an example of religion gone wrong somewhere down its pea-brained, bigoted, utterly intolerant, faux-learned path. If you invoke the Holocaust, do not do so lightly, And this, for every brain but your maggot-infested fundamentalist one, is a light fucking invocation. Kindly shut the fuck up and stop exploiting one of the worst tragedies of human conduct. If the dead lived on, as they sadly do not, the six million plus Holocaust spirits (plus tens of millions of other victims of actual oppression and mad brutality) would all have their respective hexes and rages to pour on these douchebags. That comes out to about 10,000 angry ghosts against one nutcase fundamentalist trailer-living, hilltop-occupying petulant God-freak. Fuck. The bile is still here. My writing therapy failed.

Consider: "Odin is also pissed at these ignorant motherfuckers. You bet your ass there will be thunderstorms in the eastern mediterranean tonight. It's a good thing Shiva's busy with the situation in Kashmir."
