Further evidence that the Israel lobby is on the defensive. AIPAC's memo to me tonight on the ground invasion includes these points:
–"There is no 'occupation,' only a radical Islamist enclave run by a genocidal terrorist group that acts to destroy the Jewish State."
–"For the Israelis, having Hamas
on their border is akin to having Osama Bin Laden along ours. We would
certainly act to defend ourselves and would expect no less of our
government." [Yeah we would have destroyed Osama's government complex…]
And this nod to the international p.r. disaster the slaughter has been:
Media and analysts make a mistake of significant proportions to
equate Israel 's legitimate actions in self-defense with the actions of
a terrorist group operating from within civilian territory that it
seized in a violent coup, and whose people it holds hostage to its
violent and deranged radical ideology.

Attack the media. Sign of desperation.
