I appreciate the IDF

Dan Freeman-Maloy's most recent editorial deserves its own post. Only a bit of it is about Israel, but what is, is telling.

The campaign manager for “Progress not Politics,” which presently controls the York Federation of Students (YFS), personally introduced Day’s talk as “our version of ‘shock and awe,’” (“Shock and awe” was the name of the US war plan to invade Iraq with a blitz of technology-intensive attacks). In October 2003, along the same lines, current YFS president Paul Cooper helped to organize an “Appreciation Day” for the Israeli army.

Good for Paul.

Say it loud, say it proud: I support the Israeli Defence Forces and their work to defend Israel.
