PETA's love affair with Israel

From Joseph:
"I did a little research today, and it seems that PETA is enamored with Israel.  In one blog post they literally sent their "kisses to Israel".  

This article from earlier this year quotes a PETA spokeswoman as being "just over the moon" with a new Israeli law that bans the testing of cosmetics on animals.  But, this famous Israeli compassion comes as no surprise to PETA:

“Israel has already been at the forefront in this area, so this is not unexpected. But it is a wonderful example,” she said.

PETA gushed about Homeland executive producer Gideon Raff because he wrote a letter to then US Secretary of Defense Panetta condemning America's use of animals in training exercises:

Like Brody and Carrie and the other characters on Homeland, Gideon is also a person of great depth and sensitivity.
 
PETA has nothing to say about Israel's senseless slaughter of chickens and other animals in Gaza during its 2008-2009 massacre.  In fact, a search for "Gaza" on PETA's website garnered zero results.  And of course there wasn't a word about that disgusting bird-boiling video.

I'm a vegan and generally supportive of PETA, but their hypocrisy and willingness to 'animal-wash' Israeli terrorism is ridiculous.  It makes me wonder if PETA will send their kisses to Charles Manson if he decides to go vegan?"
