Ya gotta love Chomsky's sarcastic wit! Following the appointment of George Schultz as Secretary of State, Seymour Lipset Martin, speaking at Hebrew University, warned that, "Israel's biggest problem is likely to be that Schultz is a 'do-good Christian' with sympathy for the underdog and the oppressed. Israel's policies in Lebanon and the occupied territories are likely to arouse his 'moral indignation'" Chomsky adds sarcastically: "One can understand the concern over these possible character flaws."

re: hiring professional PR agencies During the 1982 invasion of Lebanon, there was furious debate in Israel about the hasbara, or the propaganda effort to prevent Israel's image from being tarnished. One person wrote: "If the Gentiles don't wholeheartedly support the Israeli government actions and policies, then something must have gone wrong with hasbara. Hasbara is at fault. Therefore, the hasbara must be changed, just as one changes the sparkplug in a car. It reminds me of the cheated husband who catches his wife making love to his friend on the couch in his house - and decides to burn the couch." Tom (Fateful Triangle p.296)
