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.

    @Amy Tuteur, MD

    Hey Amy, instead of imagining a bunch of self-serving statements that demonstrate your completely one-sided political view, how about looking at reality?

    You're an MD, right? I assume you consider yourself a healer. Seen any photos of the Palestinian kids with blood all over their faces and bodies lately? As a professional healer, what do you make of the 2,700 Palestinians with major wounds, limbs amputated, skin burned, etc.?

    War is really "rah rah" and makes you feel good about your "side" until you see those photos. Then you realize that politics and sports are not the same thing.
