COAL MINE CANARIES
||| ? |||

There's an interesting article at

SHRINKWRAPPED

QUOTE:
"The Jewish people have earned their role as the 'canaries in the coalmine' the hard way; whenever tyranny has reared its ugly head, scapegoating (externalization) the Jews has been a popular device whereby the tyrants solidify and legitimize their rule."

Shrinkwrapped invents an interesting and useful term, in this article, i.e. Character Deformation.
Very cool!

I tend to disagree with some of his conclusions about Israel, however. Where he seems to believe that the Israeli people have become narcissists and are therefore unable to defend themselves, I view it more as the problem of some cowardly, misguided, and fantasy-prone leaders who have betrayed their own people for an imaginary peace-process with an enemy they no longer wish to see as such.

Except.....their stubborn wish
has failed to change reality.
