Loewensomething something

It's been hard lately to post any of the usual observations about Antony Loewenstein's blogging as it's becoming largely impossible  to work out what the hell he is even trying to say.

Headline
:
When far Right hearts Zionism, sensible folk run (yet so many Jews are smiling)
Any idea?

One theme did emerge. Antony continues to protect murderers and the enemies of democracy.

Here's what's happening in Syria. Right now.
The use of artillery against protesters has been the government's favoured way of quelling unrest over the course of the nine-month uprising. The tactic has ensured disaffected soldiers do not get close enough to protesters to defect while inflicting maximum terror.

Deprived of its weapon of choice, the regime was forced to resort to cruder methods.

The security forces fired automatic rifles at protesters in the cities of Hama and Dera'a and, according to opposition groups, used nail bombs to disperse demonstrators in Douma on the outskirts of Damascus.

The regime has been accused of using nail bombs since August, resulting in a large number of amputations that have often been conducted in makeshift field clinics because protesters taken to hospitals have frequently disappeared.
If it were the Israeli government using rubber bullets against terrorists, Antony would be furious. When it's someone else using real bullets, bombs and nails against civilians? He has a slightly different view.
Syria may be convulsing but foreign intervention must be avoided
Even the far left Grauniad is advocating for foreign intervention. Not Antony though. Violence in the Middle East is invisible if there's no Israeli Jews involved.

Elsewhere, Antony's been caught out again, using dodgey statistics. Can this boy get anything right?

Perhaps the literary style is modelled the work of whoever came up with the title for Sacha Baron Cohen's illustrious "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan"

When I did Computer Science at Uni many moons ago, we had to write a program which constructed a haiku. The resulting 'word salad' bore a striking resemblance to the rubbish appearing in the quote from AL. Less Antisemitism though.
