The Israel rules

America's support of the Gaza attack proves once again that our mythical image of Israel has blinded us to its faults -- a myopia with devastating consequences for both countries.

    Jonathan in Tel Aviv, you haven't answered my earlier question so I suppose you don't think

    that France is one of the "major" European countries supporting Israel because President Sarkozy has said that Israel's response to Hamas has been disproportionate. A man called Meir Shitreet, Israeli Internal Security Minister, has now informed a BBC 2 journalist that the aim of the invasion is "regime change". That sounds ominously familiar.

    It's obviously a source of delight to you, Jonathan, that Egypt and Saudi Arabia are "supporting" Israel. I can't remember the results of the last elections in Egypt or Saudi Arabia but I'm sure you know.
