NYT Finds the Single Person In Israel Opposed to Attacking Hezbollah
No seriously - even this person admits that nobody agrees with them:
"This attack was terrible, but I feel that if we hit back the shooting will only get worse," said Limor Avrahami, an occupational therapist at the hospital. "I know most people in Israel disagree with me, but I think this would be the best way to quiet things down."
The only thing we wonder: how long did it take Greg Myre to find this self-admittedly marginal opinion-holder? And what was his motive for making such an enormous effort?
UPDATE: We were wrong. There are actually thousands of idiots in Israel:
Some 1,000 people take part in march held in protest of Israeli operations in Lebanon, Gaza. Demonstrators call on government to cease military actions, negotiate for release of hostages
We expect them to become a "growing organized peace movement" in the Western media - in the same way that a couple dozen refusniks became a veritable tidal wave of anti-Sharon sentiment a couple of years ago. The other snarky thing we have to say: we wonder if they could hold this kind of peace demonstration in Lebanon against Hezbollah's acts of war. And by wonder we mean of course they couldn't.
