The New Homophobia

It's fooking amazing innit?

Have you heard of "The New Anti-Semitism"?

Apparently, when people criticize the IDF for shooting Palestinian children in the back, or the government of Israel for launching an illegal invasion of Gaza or Lebanon and carpet-bombing civilians, it's really just an excuse to indulge in "anti-Semitism." (This is different from the old anti-Semitism because, ... um, those old anti-Semites didn't have Israeli atrocities to use as a cover, ... as if the people committing the atrocities can't ever be legitimately criticized for them.)

But have you heard of "The New Homophobia"?

When homophobic creeps like Ford or Mammoliti start wailing about "Queers Against Israeli Apartheid" and political messages at PRIDE, they're really just using it as an excuse to indulge in homophobia. (It's really just the same old homophobia, but the whole brouhaha about QAIA allows me to have fun with two stupid ideas at the same time.)

(That plus the fact that Ford and Mammoliti get turned-on by the idea of shooting Arabs, like all good, upstanding North American "conservatives" do.)

Also gives a straight white guy like Mammoliti an excuse to stalk the dyke march with a video cam, getting titty shots. Charming, isn't he?

I liked it better when he and Mayor Stupid were at each other's throats.

OB,

Mammoliti doesn't know what a joke he is. He's got a vague idea, but if the whole extent of his clownishness ever dawned on him he'd probably commit suicide.

Nomenvum,

I'm pretty sure that you're a tiny bit smarter than the idiot you play here.
