Yes, it's merely more of the same terrorism stuff and why Hamas is bad etc etc. I suppose it was for American consumption because they know Americans lap it up how brave little Israel is to stand against the hordes of barbarians and infidels sweeping down to destroy it. Actually I saw the Halevi interview on the BBC. He is certainly a most charming man, a master diplomat who gives away nothing.

It's amazing to me how these people speak for the "international community" when they mean US, Israel, invariably the UK and also Merkel's Germany. And it is true what you say, the "international community" has denied Palestine's right to exist -- and for the obvious reason that it transfers the whole Jewish/Zionist polemic on to the Muslims and away from Europe. Now they are the good guys and the Muslims are the bad ones -- and Ahmadinejad is Hitler incarnate because he exposed them. Soon they'll be saying the Muslims killed six million Jews -- or wanted to. They always know what people want to do, especially when it suits their policies.

Talking of interviews about Israel and the Palestinians, I thought this one was by far the best I've heard:
