Israel er nu nogle flinke fyre – mener Politiken

Politikens overskrift sender sine egne budskaber:1) Sagen skal undersøges og Israel skal selv undersøge sine gerninger.2) Årsag og skyld er ikke afgjort. Alle andre – dog ikke USA men – f.eks. FNs generalsekretær og medarbejdere har allerede sagt hvad det handler om;3) Det kan altså være et uheld – skønt det er en systematisk metode (MH17 kunne ikke være et uheld, vel?).4) Og hvis det … Continue reading Israel er nu nogle flinke fyre – mener Politiken
