Israel Must "Take Back the Narrative"
(Jerusalem Post) Greer Fay Cashman - Former Canadian justice minister Irwin Cotler last week called for Israel to "take back the narrative" in the Middle East conflict. Speaking in Israel, Cotler said the conflict was not about borders, but about the refusal of the Hamas-led Palestinians and most Arab states to accept a Jewish state in the Middle East. Cotler said the "escalating, virulent, global and even lethal new anti-Jewishness" denied Israel the right to live as an equal member of the family of nations. Cotler quoted a survey which found that 80% of British Muslims believed that Jews were a legitimate target.
