When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it”Gospel according
Next to the myth about the “invincible Tsahal” (or IDF), the myth of the almighty and all-knowing Mossad is one of the favorite canards of the corporate media. Well, since Israel did not win a single war since 1973 and since up to about 40’000 Israeli soldiers, sailors and airmen were comprehensively, and embarrassingly, defeated by about 1’000 Hezbollah 2nd tier infantry soldiers (the best one had been kept north

by Gilad Atzmon Alan Dershowitz on Judge Goldstone: “But now I see him as a traitor… It’s as if they would have taken a Jew to edit the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
