Actually Ali Abunimah makes an interesting point about politicians believing in the things they say.

I guess it's a mixture of some lying, some misguided belief, but it seems to me that some journalists, some politicians, some commentators really believe in the falsehoods they spread.

So even now, after a year of genocide, there are Israel supporters who still believe they are the victims who are defending themselves.

And I guess, there is a genuine sense of horror in their minds as Israel is more and more sanctioned and alienated. There must be a genuine confusion at why governments and media are so supportive of Israel, yet so many people are speaking out against it.

And I guess that is all the proof of anti-Jewish racism an Israel supporter needs.

But it's a case of blind faith and propaganda versus overwhelming evidence and compassion.
