On Both Sides of the Coin - Disgusting

Thursday evening, ex-Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, addressed the students at the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy. Surprisingly, the engagement was funded by Jordan's King Abdullah. His talk, which might have lasted 25 minutes, was much longer because of almost continuous disruption by students from the University of Chicago and other colleges. Here's a distillation YouTube, provided by The Electronic Intifada:



When Alison Weir came to Alaska, a lot of people, including some close friends of mine, quietly tried to get at least some of her many appearances here canceled. That didn't work, except at Alaska Pacific University. Talk about "quietly."

But once she took the stage, she was allowed to speak.

Good for Alaskans.

That being said, Alison Weir could also give the same talks she gave in Anchorage, Homer, Juneau and Fairbanks in London. Or Rotterdam. Or Copenhagen. Or Oslo. Olmert wouldn't be able to do that, because the risk of his being arrested for war crimes in those cities is real.

Unless the Israeli court system is as corrupt as is ours, Olmert might not soon have as much freedom to travel internationally as he now does, though. He has been indicted for corruption and the charges look fairly formidable.

The criminality of ceaseless war is catching up with Israeli politicians and generals.

When will it start catching up with ours?
