Unfortunately, the ugliness
on Israel's Gaza incursion does not all flow in one direction.
There's
this bit from columnist Debbie Schlussel: "While I want
Israel to beat HAMAS, there is only one way to do so--total
annihilation of the Palestinians, who are all HAMAS. And again,
Israel neither has the guts to do this, nor the ability to do so
with its unfortunate dependence upon America and the
international community."
She actually shares many of the assumptions that I've encountered
in anti-Israel pieces: the latest offensive is just a "Kadima
campaign commercial;" the U.S. is pulling the strings;
exterminationist sentiment is in Israel's interests.
