Reader comment on item: Media Distortion about Israel - One Example

Submitted by yuval Brandstetter MD (Israel), Jan 11, 2011 at 10:31

Lavie (which means a prime lion, though in this case a kitten) labors under the same illusions as the rest of the MSM in Israel. That his musings can turn into reality by the simple expedient of trumpeting them in the said Media. Reality is that Barack' at the head of the "moderate" was at the helm of Cast Lead, not because he wanted to, but because the reality of daily bombardment dictated it.

Politics in Israel is the opposite of Western common sense because the enemy , the real reality, functions according to Islamic Supremacist ideology, rather than so-called common sense. The same can be said of American well-meaning efforts at rescuing Afghanistan and Iran from themselves. It always works backwards, and Americans get hurt for nothing.
