Olmert’s deviant logic
Olmert applies avant garde logic to the Kosovo conflict in order to defend his pointless atrocities:
“European countries attacked Kosovo and killed ten thousand civilians. Ten thousand! And none of these countries had to suffer before that from a single rocket.
Some 10,000 Albanians died in Serbia’s 1998-99 counter-insurgency war and there were allegations of random brutality by both sides.
“I’m not saying it was wrong to intervene in Kosovo. But please: Don’t preach to us about the treatment of civilians.”
Never mind that Israel’s onslaught on Lebanon wasn’t prompted by rocket attacks either. What stands out is that Serbia’s brutal counter-insurgency cum ethnic cleansing and the NATO effort to put an end to this — about which much can be said, but to which Olmert himself does not object — are both filed under “European attacks on Kosovo”! Fantastic!
