re: #4 sliv_the_eli

We’re not there. Remember when Glenn Beck was trying to make a splash in Israel? He had an event at the Wall. Well, if you were at the Wall that day, you wouldn’t have noticed anything. In other words, I don’t know if any Israeli would notice this controversy, other than the players—the cosmetic company and this unnamed umbrella group.

If I were to take issue with the article, it would be here:

Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, frequently make references to the Holocaust when discussing the threat they believe a nuclear-armed Iran would pose to the Jewish state.

That’s where such subtle messages are placed. It’s almost as if the entire article is there just to provide cover for this seemingly throwaway clause—where they really are trying to create controversy.
