This article bangs the head of the nail just perfectly. He is saying basically what I have been trying to say but much more eloquently. He was on a Radio program with a "Semite Supremacist" who basically goes on about how arabs are trying to exterminate Israel. I guess he attempted to make excuses much like the Israelis or pro-israeli camp have here on ATS that Israel is more justified in what it does and is always right. The story about the reasoning behind this war has changed very much like the reasons given for US invasion of Iraq. The reasons change as though we are all mindless fools who forget what we were told just days before.



Horowitz’s response to every question, every development in the Middle East, whether it concerns Lebanon, the Palestinians, Syria, or Iran, is the same: “They want to drive the Jews into the sea." It’s as simple as that. Not even a superficial attempt at analysis; just the message that the Arab world is trying to finish off the genocide started by Europe. And if Laura is any yardstick, a lot of Americans buy that stuff.

Horowitz is keen to bang the square peg of the Lebanon story into the round hole of his claims that the “Jews” are facing an imminent genocide in the Middle East. And to help him, he and the massed ranks of US apologists for Israel -- regulars, I suspect, of shows like Laura’s -- are promoting at least four myths regarding Hezbollah’s current rockets strikes on Israel. Unless they are challenged at every turn, the danger is that they will win the ground war against common sense in the US

The first myth is that Israel was forced to pound Lebanon with its military hardware because Hezbollah began “raining down” rockets on the Galilee. Anyone with a short memory can probably recall that was not the first justification we were offered: that had to do with the two soldiers captured by Hezbollah on a border post on July 12.
