Wow, I wonder if an opposition paper like Haaretz Would exist under a Hamas government?

We have a little thing like freedom of speech. And Israel disgraces the memory of those who died in the holocaust by slaughtering innocent people. Not that the Palestinians are any better.

Surprised they'd cover it, if less breathlessly? Google Alerts don't work only at 11th & Pine, after all.

"Israel disgraces the memory of those who died in the holocaust by slaughtering innocent people"

Another Holocaust comparison run amok.

I wouldn't say these bus ads are "Anti-Israel" as much as they are "Pro-truth". You wouldn't describe a critique of Robert Mugabe as "Anti-Zimbabwean", after all.

@6 The point is that there are hundreds of millions of people around the world who feel that Israel is Santa Claus, Jesus, puppies and apple pie all rolled into one. Anything that might be interpreted as a critique of Israel, to these people, is like saying you crush the heads of kittens and wished that the Grinch was active every day of the year.

I really wish that was outlandish hyperbole.

(And now let the false equivalencies commence. Oh, wait... look at #1. Too slow.)
