It seems like the media didn’t know how to respond to such a brilliant and well thought out military operation simply because it was carried out by Israel. So they defaulted to what they’ve been trained to do and that’s to find a way to criticize Israel. It’s not coincidental that the NYT finds Jewish voices to write articles critical of Israel. It’s one thing to be critical of Netanyahu, it’s another thing entirely to join the bandwagon of anti-Zionism (aka antisemitism) and throw your own people under the bus. Zionism is Jewish self-determination in our ancestral homeland. Any skeptic can simply read about the history of the region and find archeology, ancient artifacts, ancient scrolls and even DNA linking the Jewish people to that land. Even an atheist must wonder what is at the core of this historical animosity towards the Jewish people. Every century the reasons mutate but the bigotry is still the same.
