Buchanan on Gaza: Over/Under
There’s a gambling term called over/under — I don’t really understand it, but it has to do with guessing (which is all anyone can do) and betting on the final score of a game.
But Pat Buchanan, with his comments on MSNBC the other day (what it is about that network) that Israel was engaging in a “blitzkrieg” on its “concentration camp” in Gaza has brought new meaning to the term. (Thanks to Allahpundit at Hot Air for bringing it to our attention.)
The comments were not only over the top in the way many commentators pursue their craft these days. They were beneath human dignity in every imaginable respect.
I grew up with an Austrian Jewish mother whose entire life was lived in the shadow of the crimes committed against her and her family, and the horrific scenes she saw play out on the streets of Vienna (including the bayoneting of a pregnant woman and the dragging away of her neighbors to real concentration camps). Mom could never stand to have anything over her head or around her neck. To her final days, she slept badly and always with the TV on as background noise.
For Mr. Buchanan to use such loaded terms against a people who have suffered discrimination and persecution for centuries is beyond insensitive — it’s subhuman. And it’s not as if this was by accident — he has been an outsized Israel-baiter and outspoken supporter of the Arab for decades, and has more recently graduated to the category of Holocaust deniers with his escalating apologias for the horrors of the Nazi regime.
Enough is too much. After this latest outrage, when it comes to Mr. Buchanan’s career as a commentator, MSNBC and all other media outlets in the known universe must declare him not only over and under — but OUT.
