MERCHANDISING THE "NEW ARMAGEDDON"
Continuing the recent right wing media trend of packaging the problems in the middle east as some sort of "new apocalypse", Michael Savage irresponsibly predicted Israel is 'going to lose in Lebanon' unless it wins a 'devastating, catastrophic, overwhelming victory' in which 'nothing is left living in southern Lebanon, south of the Litani River.' Later in the program, Savage chastised the Israeli government for displaying a 'Holocaust mentality' by shying away from his proposed course for victory, adding that Israel cannot continue to 'live' unless it 'frees itself of the men who are acting as though they are still hiding in the sewers of Warsaw' and 'act[ing] like Holocaust Jews hiding in the sewer.'"
