Fighting the Good Fight at "normblog"

{link » Respect for law and political cynicism}

“What you have here, in other words, is not genuine respect for law but political cynicism: the appeal to law as a mere argument of convenience. Notice - to forestall avoidable misunderstanding - that respect for the rule of law does not entail never criticizing or challenging what you take to be bad law. But this isn't what our two spokespersons for international law above are up to when they step around breaches of international law for which, not Israel, but the Palestinians are responsible. Alibhai-Brown and Becker are simply encouraging you in an oversight that suits them.” — Norman Geras

Norm keeps fighting the good fight against international political cynicism. Those of us who have exhausted our verbal ammunition, patience, and willingness to engage (with civility) the blatant hypocrisy emanating from the scum of the earth can at least offer a link to one whose capacity seems inexhaustible. Kudos, Norm.
