Israeli embassies should print NYT articles on Israel, and give them out for free as state-sponsored propaganda. "Across Israel, especially in the north, are the remains of dozens of partly unused Palestinian villages, scars on the landscape from the conflict that gave birth to the country in 1948." Dozens? Are you talking about the hundreds of villages? And you say "unused" villages? Is this a new Zionist term for destroyed Palestinian villages? And here, you get a brief summary of the Arab-Israeli conflict from the foreign editor of the New York Times provided to him by CAMERA: "Their story is part of a larger one: After the United Nations General Assembly voted in late 1947 for two states in Palestine, one Arab and one Jewish, local Arab militias and their regional supporters went on the offensive against Jewish settlements, in anger over the United Nations’ support for a Jewish state. Zionist forces counterattacked. Hundreds of Palestinian villages, including Lajoun, were evacuated and mostly destroyed." OK. Thanks for the lesson in crude Zionist propaganda, o New York Times. According to the New York Times, Israeli always "counterattack". It never attacks. It counterattacked in 1947, 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1978, 1982, 1993, 1996, 2000, and 2006. In fact, Israeli occupation forces are counterattacking Gaza children as we speak.
