Haaretz contributor Chemi Shalev apparently agrees. On September 2, he called General Dempsey's comments "insulting and counterproductive."
Is he "goading Israel to attack Iran," he asked? Is Shalev serious or exaggerating for effect? His column reeked with misinformation. We've heard it all before.
