All foreign wars are an opportunity for ego gratification for the modern western man, and to be a horrible person in a socially legitimated manner. Like everything else in his vapid, ennui-filled life, it is a consumption good.

Step right up, step right up, here we have pro-Israel. You can call other people terrorists, anti-semites and invoke the Holocaust! A gorgeous opportnity! Any takers? And here we have pro-Palestine! You can pretend to feel sympathy for little brown kids, and accuse other people of killing children, supporting genocide and war crimes! All in this one package! Do we have a bid?
