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.

    The Hamas tragedy

    Kamiya wrote: “It (the US) would insist that the best and only way to undermine the radical rejectionists and the jihadists (who are not the same thing) is through a just peace.”

    I must disagree with Kamiya’s naïve notion that it is possible to accommodate with one’s enemy whose sole purpose is your destruction. I must also disagree with Kamiya that the extreme Hamas militants have wide support among the Arab world.

    The Palestinians are hostages of the Hamas extremists who are pawns of Iran. It is truly tragic. The Gaza saga will take years to play out with tragic consequences.

    It would be interesting to see what will happen if the whole world blacks out all news from Gaza and ignore the Israel / Palestinian conflict.
