Indeed it would be unfortunate if the press started printing gruesome images of skeletal starving women, men and children, isn't it.... You know, photos that reminded people of some sort of horror that was revealed 80 years ago.
This is more or less how "Ministry for the Future" starts, isn't it?

In 1976, Benjamin Netanyahu's brother died. A flight from Israel to Paris had been hijacked by some Palestinian and German terrorists, and flown to Uganda, where they demanded release of prisoners, threatening to kill the Israeli and Jewish passengers (the rest were released). Israel decided to launch a mission on foreign soil to rescue them, and I think Bibi's older brother was the sole Israeli casualty.
What we are seeing today in Gaza is most likely, mostly, as a direct result of that death. Raw caveman emotion. (with a few decades of carefully layered public relations)

In Biostatistics - only ever use pi in the variance of the logistic density. Using 3.14 gives substantially equivalent results to using arbitrarily large precision. But I use whatever my calculator or R give me.
It's a good (if dated) analysis of the situation in my view.
It does not focus on the Jewish atrocities and colonialistic ambitions (getting only brief mention in 2 or 3 places), which I am guessing is due to it being a response to some prevailing media (or left-wing?) sentiment at the time.
Can I take that point of view without being labelled pro-Israel or pro-All The Shit, Havoc, And Crimes That Israel Has Wreaked Over The Years?
Absolutely, imagemap. Extra kudos if you use a pre-v1.0 GIMP, pen and paper.
Rather than deliberately misunderstanding, maybe they are trying to reclaim it in response to its widespread misuse in recent years.
