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.

    RE: dumb copy

    the headline for this story should have read

    OUR MYTHICAL IMAGE OF ISREAL HAS BINDED US TO ITS FAULTS.

    not blinded us to its faults.

    we have known its faults for decades.

    its time to stop lying and living with myth.

    everyone must stop being cowards.

    and hear the bombs. and the dead. and bullets. and blood.

    and babies dying.

    no more distance cowards.
