So writes a commentator in Haaretz:
Aid to disaster victims around the world portrays a different Israel than the one depicted in the media – the Israel that systematically oppresses nations and kills innocent civilians.
And leading Israeli daily Maariv:
At a time when our country is under media attack on the basis of harsh and anti-Semitic reports, and we are forced to contend with terrorists who have assumed the winning image of victims of war, one could say that the Haiti disaster is the best thing that could have happened to us.
