    Will people pretend they never supported Israel?

    The tone from right-media has been more critical of Israel over the last two days not just about the WCK attack but over other things too.

    Is this what we should expect in the future? People who vehemently supported a genocide will pretend that they never did?

    Is this what happened with Iraq?

    Former Director of Labour Friends of Israel is now an Israeli government spokesperson

    Recently the Israeli government sent a spokesperson to Channel 4 to answer questions (or fail to answer questions) about their assassination of several British aid workers. Several people have pointed out that this guy looks very familiar, he's David Mencer, former director of Labour Friends of Israel.

    You may remember David from this bizarre clash with James Schneider last year, in which he just screams abuse into the camera over and over, not stopping even when the presenter is forced to cut away and turn his volume down. I guess Israel liked what they saw!
