For what my opinion is worth David,
your letter to the N-G is an EXCELLENT reply and an 
accurate historical analogy !
 
Let's see if they print it.

  On February 28th, 
  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.
     
  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  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.
     
  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.
     
  I hope that the editors of the 
  News-Gazette are proud to be compared to such an illustrious practitioner of 
  rhetorical persuasion.
