Attempts to de-legitimise Israel

Reader comment on item: "Free Gaza" Flotilla Defeats the Israel Defense Forces
in response to reader comment: The Free Gaza Flotilla

Submitted by John B (Spain), Jun 6, 2010 at 13:35

An excellent comment. You are absolutely correct, sir. There are aspects in which this is simply a war of good versus evil. However it does not help if Israel does not effectively withstand the evil. Well, at least Israeli newspapermen have not recently been asking America to rape Israel as happened previously in order to gratify them. But is this simply because that is now where we have arrived?
