Coming Attractions

Last year's 40th anniversary of the Six-Day War brought out plenty of criticism of Israeli "occupation." As we get closer to Israel's 60th anniversary of independence, we're going to see more regurgitated pablum questioning Israel's legitimacy.

Edith Garwood's an example of the coming attractions. She writes in the Charlotte Observer:

Archives show armed Jewish militias expelled Arabs using home demolitions, massacres, rape, beatings, bombings and widespread threats of terror . . . .
The Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory, rocket fire into Israel, illegal settlement growth, checkpoints, suicide bombers, the crippled Palestinian economy, The Wall, and the lack of adequate access to medicine, food and clean water require attention, but are only outgrowths of the root problem -- the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

Heh.
