'Israel is a Lunatic State' - Finkelstein on Gaza Flotilla Attack

If you want to see how far removed from reality some of the hasbara propagandists are check out this article from the Spectator:

'Peace convoy'? This was an Islamist terror ambush

"...it is now obvious that the real purpose of this ‘armada of hate’ was not merely the further delegitimisation of Israel but something far worse.

Gaza’s markets are full of produce, thousands of tons of supplies are travelling into Gaza every week through the Israeli-controlled border crossings, and there is no starvation or humanitarian crisis. It was always obvious that the flotilla was not the humanitarian exercise it was said to be.

... now we can see that the real purpose of this invasion -- backed by the Turkish Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH), a radical Islamic organization outlawed by Israel in 2008 for allegedly serving as a major component in Hamas’s global fund-raising machine -- was to incite a violent uprising in the Middle East and across the Islamic world. As I write, reports are coming in of Arab rioting in Jerusalem.

The notion – uncritically swallowed by the lazy, ignorant and bigoted BBC and other western media – that the flotilla organisers are ‘peace activists’ is simply ludicrous.
"


When I saw this I thought it was a spoof. It wasn't. It was written by and for Israeli sympathizers.

Sadly it reflects an almost delusional mentality. I'm afraid this sort of irrationality is a bit too common amongst Israeli partisans.
