Yes I know this is an Arutz Sheva rightwing settler site doing the poll, but this is the big revelation to Americans of the flotilla incident, we don’t share values. And look how deeply rightwing Israeli society has become. Only 6 percent say Israel should respond to the raid by mending fences, apologizing. 67 percent say, the message should be, Dont tangle with us! And the other 27 percent say it was the right thing to do. They support the blockade.
This underscores Norman Finkelstein’s statement to Russian television that Israel is a "lunatic state" that possesses 200 nuclear warheads. Is it possible that Finkelstein is a more reliable narrator than Martin Indyk who is all over the airwaves to say that Israel is a rational actor? When will Brian Lehrer get Finkelstein on his WNYC program, Lehrer who is both fearful of the issue in a liberal-Zionist way but who has a huge superego, i.e., he’s really responsible and knows in that big brain of his that we don’t really share values. Finkelstein lives in Brooklyn, it’s just a subway ride.
