Apologists with Evil Minds
Posted On : Aug / 15 / 2006
There
appears to be a direct relationship between the increasing ugliness
and immorality of this war and the extreme lengths to which
Israel's supporters will go to justify it. This was brought home to
me recently in three separate debates, one in print, two on
television. What I clearly saw at work in these exchanges was how
Israel's apologists use verbal overkill paralleling Israel's use of
overwhelming military force. They will admit no wrong. They attempt
to bully opponents into submission. They deny history and morality.
And, maybe most disturbing of all, they seek to present this war
(as they have sought to present many of Israel's previous wars) in
exaggerated and near apocalyptical terms.....
