Mood Is Dark as Israel Marks 62nd Year as a Nation

Haaretz, the newspaper that serves as the voice of the shrinking political left in this country, is in a truly depressed mood. Its editorial on Monday contended that Israel “is isolated globally and embroiled in a conflict with the superpower whose friendship and support are vital to its very existence.”

“It is devoid of any diplomatic plan aside from holding on to the territories and afraid of any movement,” the editorial said. “It wallows in a sense of existential threat that has only grown with time. It seizes on every instance of anti-Semitism, whether real or imagined, as a pretext for continued apathy and passivity.”

'They may be evil, but they are not stupid.'


But there is something about the mood this year that feels darker than usual. It has a bipartisan quality to it. Both left and right are troubled...

The 'axis of evil' is basically a tie between Pakistan, North Korea, Iran, and Israel according to polling of people around the world.

Funny how our Western media only 'gets' three out of four.
