Well, that’s something the world doesn’t hear enough about. I am sure the biased global media coverage of Israel, which is nothing new even for the New York Times, is somewhat responsible for the lack of knowledge and discussion. You cite several excellent examples of facts being twisted to fit one’s personal narrative, in addition to intellectual dishonesty, double standards, and false equivalencies—and not by Israel or the United States. Thank you for what you wrote, which is most helpful as this debate goes on.
We need more of these “teachable moments” but not everybody has the courage to speak out during this critically important time for the State of Israel and the Jewish people. I have likewise addressed the war issue here, albeit in a different, more direct manner.
