Israel is doing itself no favours in the court of public opinion
Truth is the first casualty of war.
Israel is desperate to maintain its public image as victim-with-right-to-defend-itself-by-any-means in the current conflict.
Israel and the mainstream western media and governments are trying to say black is white and white is black.
Common sense is a lost art it seems!!
Bombing schools and killing children will win no friends.
The State of Israel will be dismantled eventally – it has started – but while that is happening there could be major trauma for the people of the region and the world , they will not let go easily. I hope with its gradual dismantling the whole ‘free trade’ corporate ideology goes with it and small farmers and small business are important again in the western world.
