Laugh at me, will ya, ya dirty butchers?

Last week, she carried six butchers and a wardrobe to boot.

A doubled guard and yesterday Tigellinus and a squadron of his butchers left for Rome.

And in these years, I met all kinds people like, for instance, farmers and butchers, which seems logical.

Surgeons are the tailors, the plumbers, the carpenters some would say the butchers of the medical world cutting, reshaping, reforming, bypassing, fixing.

Today, our global civilization is confronting a new and terrible threat international terrorists have taken up the baton from the SS butchers.

152. On 1 October, on the recommendation of Justice Minister Tzahi Hanegbi, President Ezer Weizman granted amnesty to two right wing activists convicted of throwing a hand grenade in the Butchers Market of the Old City of Jerusalem in 1992, causing the death of an Arab merchant and injuring eight people.

And yet it is absurd to compare the power of the two phenomena, or to suggest that in the confrontation with the butchers of Mosul and Palmyra, the democracies face a strategic challenge analogous to that of the Nazi Wehrmacht. This historical leap is possible only for people whose political irresponsibility is matched by their proclivity for lazy analogy.

Rather, what Modi s government has fostered is a form of subjective intolerance, with supporters, emboldened by the BJP s absolute majority, imposing their particular view of what India should be, regardless of whom it hurts. The state of Maharashtra s recent beef ban which threatens the livelihoods of a million Muslim butchers and truckers would not have been imposed by any previous state government or supported by any previous administration in New Delhi.

The new United Nations tribunal that was formed nearly five decades after the final judgments were rendered at Nuremberg and Tokyo became the forerunner of ad hoc courts to prosecute perpetrators of Rwanda s genocide, Charles Taylor and his blood diamond butchers in Sierra Leone, and the Khmer Rouge killers in Cambodia. The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) also gave rise to the permanent International Criminal Court to try war criminals worldwide.

Given how catastrophic the invasion of Iraq has turned out to be, it is hard even to remember when interventions on moral grounds whether to thwart a dictator, as in the case of the Balkan wars, or to put an end to anarchic cruelty, as in the case of British intervention in Sierra Leone seemed like a great advance in international affairs. No longer would the powerful sit by idly while butchers like Slobodan Milosevic or Foday Sankoh slaughtered their own people.
