Even if your crtisism is warrented."<BR/><BR/>Not quite correct. The vast majority of such criticism is steeped in deep anti-semitism, whether the person issueing the criticism realises it or not, many of them sheepishly ape others who are anti-semitic or base their criticism on information that's extremely biassed, divulged by anti-semitic groups or individuals.<BR/><BR/>Take the constant attacks against Israel for their current actions against Hamas.<BR/>If you didn't know the histoy of the conflict (and especially the last few months) you'd be excused for thinking that the Israeli actions are way out of proportion and Hamas a bunch of nice guys who just want to be left alone.<BR/>But the reality is of course quite different, and shows Hamas as a vile agressor who for years have launched unprovoked and deadly attacks on Israeli citizens, despite repeated "ceasefires" and "treaties" in which they pledge to stop the violence. Israel on the other hand has always held back its responses, often hasn't responded at all even when its citizens were killed at the hand of Hamas launched mortar bombs and rockets.<BR/>That of course is never reported in the world press, only the "unprovoked" Israeli responses that do happen are mentioned, and the only sources of "information" about them are press releases from the Hamas propaganda machine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
