Why Israelis support the Gaza offensive

    Why Israelis support the Gaza offensive

    Aluf Benn seems to be saying that the Israeli people felt troubled psychologically that Olmert's misadventure in Lebanon went horribly wrong, so the Zionists are killing innocent Palestinian women and children to make everybody (except for fringe peaceniks)feel better. I find it very disturbing that this piece of Zionist propaganda is the lead article in Salon. I wonder, Joan, if you have forgotten so soon that article after article in Salon condemned this kind of behavior from the Bush administration, yet now you are giving the Israelis a pass. How Come?
