Ship of Tools

“A number of the organizing groups [for the latest Gaza Flotilla] are fronts for Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood, raising money and political support for these organizations and often controlled by them. In other words, revolutionary Islamists are using Western pacifists and leftists to achieve their own ends.”

Read it all.

Meanwhile, even an NYTimes’ reporter admits Gaza is doing very well, thank you. Just not very free if, for instance, you’re a woman who wants to drive a motorcycle. Hamas forbids it.

  1. Well, the person who invented the term “useful idiot” certainly knew what he/she was about.

  2. The Urban dictionary says “Term invented in Soviet Russia to describe people who blindly supported the likes of Lenin and Stalin while they committed atrocity after atrocity. ”

    I always heard it was Stalin who invented the phrase. So impressed (moved, etc.) he was by the Westerners who thought he was a really swell guy.

  4. Believe it was Lenin who invented the related term, “useful fool”. Lenin added that once a fool was no longer, they should be shot. No bourgeis sentimental nonsense from good old Lenin.
