...reality in embattled Israel. This recognition seems to elude all those who mindlessly swallow all criticism of Israel as obviously correct. A good example of this simplistic belief in the immorality of Israel appears in Larew's article itself. Larew accuses the "Zealot" who tore down an anti-Israel poster of "denial" of the facts determined by the "indisputable photographic record." There is no defending the student who tore down the poster, but pardon my naivete if I ask what fact is conveyed by a photograph devoid of any context? How do I know that the woman threatened...
According to the poster, which was issued by the Metropolitan Police, a woman was raped November 13 at about 8:15 p.m. on the banks of the Charles River near Longfellow Park. The park is located off Brattle St. near the Mt. Auburn Hospital...

Perhaps most disappointing, is that Larew supports his condescending and morally loaded premise with distortions of the truth. If he looks carefully at the poster to which he refers (I have a copy if he would like a second look) he will notice that the soldier in question still has the strap of his gun around his neck. If he actually attempted to beat the Palestinian woman with the butt of his rifle, he would have decapitated himself. Perhaps Larew found the inscription "Bullshit!" across the photo because it claimed to portray something that was not occuring in the picture...
