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.

It has nothing to do with being self denying

Smac:

"Yes, if the Gazans suddenly turned into self-denying angels, Israel's lot in the Middle East would be a lot easier."

You seem to be missing the point. My list has nothing to do with being self denying. It's all about what the Palestinians can do for themselves independent of what Israel does. As I said above, no one actually cares about the Palestinians; no one is interested in improving their lot. The Palestinians are merely being used to criticize the Israelis. If someone else were shelling them at this moment, the world would not care.
