Goldfarb smeared Pvt Beauchamp and accused him of making up stories of despicable acts by US troops in Iraq. One of the sources used to smear Beauchamp was 1st Sergeant John E. Hatley, who has been charged with ordering his own men to murder prisoners execution-style and dump their bodies in a canal.

As far as Gaza is concerned, it's obvious that the reason it's considered just for Israel to slaughter a hundred Palestinians for every Israeli killed is because most Americans regard Arabs and Muslims to be sub-human. Don't believe me? Could you imagine if the RAF had bombed the Republic of Ireland, killing 100 Irish people for every Briton killed in an IRA attack? Could you imagine American public officials flocking to Britain to cheer on the massacre and IDF camp followers like Michael Bloomberg and Gary Ackerman have done? How about if the Spanish goverment had blown away Basques in such numbers in retaliation for ETA bombings?
That's because the Irish and the Basques are considered members of the human race and Arabs are written off as Untermenschen -especially Palestinians.
