<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;">On February 28<sup>th</sup>,
News-Gazette editors reprinted an 1,100 word article from the L.A. Times on
Israel ’s anti-rocket
defense plan against
Gaza . It included two large pictures, one of
a Jewish Israeli woman in her damaged home in Sderot, the other of smoke
trails from Palestinian rockets. The article explored the use of $1 billion by
Israel to develop and deploy an
“Iron Dome” high-tech defense system. The article and pictures consumed about
1/4 of the Commentary section.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;">I wonder if, in 1943, the
editors would have printed an article, from the German perspective, of Nazi
efforts to defend German cities against Allied bombing, complete with a
picture of a clearly pious Christian German woman beneath a damaged ceiling in
an<span style=""> </span>otherwise civilized living
room. I also wonder if during the same year they would have published a German
perspective on Nazi efforts to combat Jewish terrorism in the Warsaw
Ghetto.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;">The analogy may not be perfect.
As far as we know, Jewish Israelis have not yet planned a final solution for
the Palestinians, and Palestinians have not yet accepted their fate.
Nevertheless, the analogy holds in terms of the distinction between
perpetrator and victim, and their relative power. The analogy also holds in
terms of the perversity of the propaganda itself. Goebbels would see this
article as an exquisite example of journalism in the service of higher
civilization.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;">I hope that the editors of the
News-Gazette are proud to be compared to such an illustrious practitioner of
rhetorical persuasion.</p></div></div><br><br>-- <br>This message has been
