Israel's Orwellian Nightmare

(JNS) Melanie Phillips - For the Jewish world, these are nightmarish, hallucinatory times. Instead of being supported in its attempt to prevent a second holocaust of the Jews, Israel now finds itself demonized. Its overwhelmingly just war of self-defense has been turned into a war crime. The victims of pure evil are themselves depicted as evil and turned into the pariahs of the world. Untold numbers in the West now believe the demonstrable lies being pumped out by Hamas. Millions now believe that the Israelis are deliberately starving Gaza's people by preventing aid from coming in; that they have wantonly killed more than 30,000 civilians who are mostly women and children; and that they are attacking hospitals and causing helpless patients to die. All of this is not only false but the very opposite of the truth. Israel's current Orwellian treatment at Western hands should be no surprise because this treatment has been Orwellian for decades.
