Mitigating Circumstances

Even now that Iran and Lebanon are chastened and the numbers of the Palestinian Untermenschen reduced by some seventy thousand, and even with more modest acts of slaughter still in progress, it seems the judiciary of the Righteous State has yet to take the hint. The Netanyahoo has been forced to follow up the Trumpster's recent affirmation of Israeli judicial independence by submitting a hundred-and-eleven-page demand for a presidential pardon, which would serve the public interest through leaving his record of meritorious genocide unsullied by charges of bribery, fraud and corruption. The president of Israel has promised to be responsible and sincere in considering the petition, the granting of which would be almost unprecedented even in cases of killing Palestinians; and should the Netanyahoo walk free without a stain upon his reputation, there might be interesting moral consequences for other cases. It would be edifying to see Al Capone posthumously exonerated of tax fraud on the grounds that he rid Chicago of seven low-lifes one St Valentine's Day; and still more so to see Hitler reconciled through all the gays and commies who were cleansed to balance out the Six Million.
