I don`t know why the Haaretz reporter says drivers "might be surprised to discover" that a pro-Palestinian banner over the BQE "was an initiative by Jewish activists" who accuse Israel of war crimes and compare Gaza to a concentration camp. These days when I see Israel attacked in this way, I assume it`s very likely that the attackers are "Jewish activists." At least in the U.S., many of the most vehement, most hostile (and most self-righteous, most disingenuous) attacks on Israel are the work of Jews who make a big point of their being Jewish. I doubt there`s another group on the face of the earth including so many people so proud of such hateful behavior. I have to admit I don`t understand it.
