Liberating Palestine matters most. So does government treating all its people equitably and fairly. DP needs reeducation help.

Defending the indefensible doesn't wash. Peace, equity, justice, and respecting rule of law principles matter most.

Israel fell short from inception. It was born in blood. Growing millions know. It's a rogue terror state. It's amoral, brutish, and ruthless. 

It deplores peace and stability. It lives by the sword. It's a modern-day Sparta. It threatens the region and humanity. It's leaders are war criminals. 

They bear full responsibility for decades of lawlessness. State terror is official policy. Arabs are murdered for not being Jews. 

Settlement policy is one of many Israeli Achilles heels. Justifying them doesn't wash. Those trying support wrong over right. Doing so makes them look foolish.

Hasbara is an Israeli euphemism for propaganda. It covers up inconvenient truths. It picks and choses selected versions. Practitioners believe their arguments hold water. They're convinced their way is right.

Hasbara is a leap of faith. It's official Israeli policy. It turns truth on its head. It tries framing the unjustifiable to wash. It tries convincing people to believe it. It attacks naysayers. It doesn't work as planned. Israel proliferates it anyway.
