This morning, I wrote about the "useful idiots" who publicize lies and propaganda from Hamas with regard to the events at the Gaza border last week. This afternoon, I came across another of these idiots who clearly thinks that anything the US and its allies do is bad no matter what the actual facts may be. The writer in question is a fellow named Daniel Larison who writes at a site called "The American Conservative". That's actually funny since what Larison writes is the stuff that Progressives push in their worldview when they express one.
A few days ago, Larison wrote about the alleged slaughter by Saudi forces of civilians in Yemen. He was describing an attack by the Saudi air force on a base housing Houthi rebels. The Houthi are supported by Iran and are the force that began the civil war in Yemen by forcing out the elected government. Then the Houthis began killing those who opposed them. The Saudis got involved to prevent an Iranian base of operations on their southern border. Huge numbers have since died in the fighting. Larison, of course, ignores all this and just blames the whole thing on alleged Saudi war crimes. It is as if history prior to last weekend does not exist. Larison is giving us Iranian propaganda and calling it "conservative" thought. It isn't; it's just nonsensical drivel.
Today, Larison is pushing a different set of false facts. The Palestinians at the Gaza border fence were peaceful. (They weren't) They were unarmed. (They weren't). They were massacred by Israeli troops instructed to mow them down. (Another lie.) Larison says that if this happened with some other country, US politicians and pundits would be demanding action against the perpetrators. That's Larison's way of saying that the Jewish lobby in DC control the politicians and news media. It's BS, but it is also amazing to think that this guy actually believes this stuff. Is he that biased?
So we have another useful idiot who is pushing the propaganda of the Iranians and the Houthi allies as well as the nonsense pumped out by the terrorists at Hamas (who are also friends of the Iranians.) It's sad that this stuff makes its way onto the internet.
