In the case of Israel, its defenders have conspired to fashion a public image---particularly in the west---that is nothing short of an antithesis of the ruthless character of the modern Jewish State. A telling example are the spate of richly contrived slogans that are so absurd and easily refuted that one can only marvel at the level of chutzpah.
We are lectured about Israel's putative "right to exist"---which of course doesn't exist
We are assured that the IDF is "the world's most moral army" in spite of volumes of evidence and documentation that suggests the opposite conclusion: they delight in terrorizing a civilian population without sufficient defenses, and they routinely kill children
We are introduced to "purity of arms"...a rather brash invocation that proposes to exempt the Jews from the human rights crimes they routinely engage in...basically the thinking is ( "when we do it, it is not a crime" )
My favorite one is "The land without people for the people without land"...apparently we are to dismiss the historical residency of the Native population of Palestine...dismiss Ottoman census and taxation records...land titles...British census figures---because the Jews who managed to steal the land in the mid-twentieth century want us to know that the place was a "barren desert"...."uninhabited"
