 Israel claims to hold the same values as the supposedly moral West. It says that it is fighting “terrorism” in our name as well as its own.

Israel does not fight its war in my name. It may be a generalisation, because I am sure that there are some Israeli's who are equally appalled by their governments actions as are many of the rest of us, but judging from the Israeli media and comments in the Jerusalem Post for example, it is clear to me that Israel is a nation of hysterical Palestinian hating bigots wallowing in self pity and constantly playing the "we are the victims" and the "holocaust" cards. Israel constantly relies on its relationship with the United States, emphasised over the past few days by Obama and Clinton, to carry out its heinous aggression against Palestine, thinly disguised under the label of "acting in self defence". These atrocities have been going on, since the days of the British mandate in Palestine and have, since 1948 been supported unconditionally by the United States both publicly and at the United Nations Security Council. Israel is not fighting a war against terrorists. It is doing what it has been doing since 1948. Israel is fighting a war of expansion, annexation and displacement of the existing populations. Israel has no interest in the "peace process" or in a "two state solution" and has lost what little legitimacy or sympathy it may once have had. Successive Israeli governments, this current one and no doubt the one to be elected in January 2013,  demonstrate vividly everything that is evil and gross in a nation conceived in terror and perpetuated by lies and duplicity. There are many in the world, including it seems the British government, who accept the fantasy of insidious Israeli rhetoric, and fall in behind American backing for this nefarious nation. The Israeli war of aggression is not in my name and no matter what my government may say or do, it never will be.
