Israel's "Operation Make the World Hate Us" Enters Bold New Phase as Jerusalem Post Editor Releases Video Mocking Dead Flotilla Activists http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/2010/wilson050610.html

"Israel does not need enemies: it has itself. Or more precisely: it has its government," writes The New Republic's Leon Wieseltier in a bitingly titled column, "Operation Make the World Hate Us: The Assault on the 'Mavi Marmara' Was Wrong, and a Gift to Israel's Enemies."

It's not just an Israeli government initiative. Operation Make The World Hate Us has another valuable asset -- the Deputy Managing Editor of the Jerusalem Post Caroline Glick, who under the auspices of the US-based Center for Security Policy has just released one of the most gratuitously offensive (and on so many levels, it's quite remarkable) video creations to afflict the year 2010, "

We Con the World," which appears to mock the nine dead (or more -- six are still reported as missing) activists killed on the Turkish Mavi Marmara when Israeli Defense Force commandos stormed the boat. According to a British eyewitness interviewed by UK-based The Press Association, 48 people aboard the ship received gunshot wounds.

Two notable organizational patrons of Glick's video are the Center for Security Policy and Christians United for Israel. Glick's industrial-strength polemics include claims that there is a "totalitarian jihadist ideology which is ascendant throughout the Islamic world." According to the Jewish organization Jews on First, Glick has advocated the unilateral bombing of Iran.
