better to be feared than loved...

The Jerusalem Post says that "[t]his time, Israel got the public diplomacy right."

Um, fellas... not at the UN, you didn't. Or in, you know, Europe. The UN Secretary-General and the UK Prime Minister both said they were outraged by Israel's bombing and white phosphorusing of a UN school with hundreds of refugees. From my talks with colleagues, I think a substantial portion of the global left has completely abandoned the Israeli position.

Might want to work on that public diplomacy...
