...after all, what else can you say? The facts are in, and they show very clearly that Israel systematically violates Palestinian human rights in order to further an occupation based on the continuing theft and colonisation of Palestinian land.

Since you can`t argue with these facts, you`re forced to retreat to the absurd position that everyone in the world - Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, B`Tselem, the UN, the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel, Physicians for Human Rights, the Red Cross, Oxfam, Christian Aid, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, Machsom Watch, Defence for Children International, Save the Children, CAFOD, CARE International, and so on - is either lying or anti-Semitic, and only Ehud Barak is right. It`s not a very persuasive argument, I`m afraid, which is why Israel is increasingly losing the argument abroad. A good thing, too.
