"The world isn't just watching the Israeli government commit a crime in Gaz=
a; we are watching it self-harm. This morning, and tomorrow morning, and ev=
ery morning until this punishment beating ends, the young people of the Gaz=
a Strip are going to be more filled with hate, and more determined to fight=
 back, with stones or suicide vests or rockets. Israeli leaders have convin=
ced themselves that the harder you beat the Palestinians, the softer they w=
ill become. But when this is over, the rage against Israelis will have hard=
ened, and the same old compromises will still be waiting by the roadside of=
 history, untended and unmade."

I've been checking Zionist blogsphare once in a while since the ground inva=
sion has started. As far as I noticed the most recurring theme is the convi=
ction that "the world hates Jews" and also there is a persistent forewarnin=
g that there is no "Israel bashing" is allowed because "the world is full o=
f it". Even Norman Geras complains that while the crimes committed against =
Israelis are taken as political inconveniences, the actions of Israel are r=
esponded by consensus of International condemnation. Therefore, I think the=
 article from The Independent (UK) misses one of the fundamental images of =
Zionist fantasy, i.e. the Jew-hating world. And probably the Israeli leader=
s have no problem with question the that how much more hatred will be gener=
ated by their assault because the more Palestinians hate Jews, the more the=
y are trapped in the Zionist fantasy.  =20
