From Khelil: "The U.S. media can never divorce itself from portraying Israel as the tiny cute
little power with nuclear arms. This in an article that also referred to the
Golan as "disputed": "an
era when Israel faced coherent Arab countries with large militaries wielding
formidable weapons. Memorials mark the stands taken by Israeli troops against
far larger and better-armed Syrian units in 1973." One wonders how Israel was
able to push back within miles of Damascus."
