It is certainly a striking coincidence that the process that we watched repeated itself many times over the past decade and a half is not taking place with the cad under which israel if attacked and it strikes back in selfdefense and receives widespread kisses him around the world and from various corners in the United States in media. This is a subject that i tackle the next book. Why does it work this way . The idea for the book seemed to me for five years ago when i read in the paper and the internet in a newspaper in sweden, there is a story that ran, which is why the circulation in sweden and the story reported that israelis were now slaughtering past 10 and randomly in order to harvest their body organs for sale. The story i say had no basis what the lover. It was built around the case of a single deceased palestinian who had a scar on his body because he had an autopsy. But when reporters for other publications followed a come and they went to this mans family. They denied ever having said such a night they shouldnt. The reporter had essentially made this up. The swedish ambassador to israel apologized for this tory at which point she was reprimanded and forced to withdraw her apology on the ground that it was an infringement on press freedom. When i read about this that morning for five years ago, i thought how can this be . This is so crazy. How did we come to this . I can understand that people feel critical at one moment or another or disagree with in israeli policy. Sure, they again. But to have an image of israel of which you could imagine and put in print writers and editors in a major western daily newspaper that israelis were randomly slaughtering palestinians to harvest their organs. How do we come to a point where people had an image of israel that would allow them to think and write and publish such things. It was solved though startling to me because i am old enough to remember 40 years earlier. I am at the sixday war, a time when the support and sympathy for israel around the world was very, very substantial. Public opinion polls show in the United States show perhaps half the people did not have an opinion or didnt care or didnt know about it. But if the half who did, the support for israel versus support for the arabs is quite overwhelming. It was about eight to one, Something Like that. That was interesting was similar polls were taken in britain and france and the ratio of support for israel was even more onesided than a was in the United States. The united state is still a great deal of support and around the world it is completely. I asked myself the question what it was when i brought about this dramatic change. I cant think of any case in history and a complete change of its political regime. A Research Subject is that jacob is a reversal in the way the outside world regarded that. And as i studied it, i thought of our learned about certain things. First, obvious things. Israels triumph in the 1967
