Seems like it's become fashionable to bag on Israel these days.

Some of the comments at the end of that article are completely asinine.

I think it bears mentioning that there's an important distinction between being a Jew, and being a Zionist.

Maybe Israel is behind Wikileaks. But maybe it's just a single douchebag with a personal agenda. I don't know.

Everybody wants a scapegoat.

How does former marine Gordon Duff know this?

Quote:
...Classified Army documents are filled to the brim with reports that the CIA and their private contractors are involved in drug operations with Karzai but also other names are named including many prominent Americans, some members of congress. I won’t leak their names but I know they are in the documents. If Wiki got what they say they got, then most of their documents would have reported corruption, drug dealing, governments of a dozen countries would have been mentioned.

Assange is obviously just another idiot who wants his 15 minutes. A Mossad front? That article was just too anti-Israel. What possible benefit would Israel gain from damaging efforts to defeat those that threaten them the most? It makes no sense. While reading this, I was watching "The Hanoi Hilton" and the thought came to me that that was something Jane Fonda would come up with.

I have NO respect or support for wiki nor it's purported boss Mr Julian Assange,,

But, I also think the "former marine" is a little unbelievable.

Mr. Assange appears to be in trouble.

Call me a slant viewed practitioner of "Doubting Thomas" philosophy.

The 1st time I saw Assange, I did not like his looks..

He has that overly thin, pale skinned, untrustworthy look of person with strained social capacities, belaying an underlining mental complexity of rubenesque proportions..

These days? It's the same old "The Jews are behind everything" story. When all else fails, blame it on the Jews. . . I knew a guy who would fly into a rage whenever something went wrong. He'd yell "G** D*** JEWS!" Over and over. He spent time in jail after he tried to smuggle non-serial numbered Swedish Ks into the country. Absolute nut job. I attribute the same thing to Gordon Duff, IMO.

Whenever I see something like this, I just move on. However, having said that, Assange should be checking his rear view mirror often.
