I suspect the media dislikes Israel because they are no longer seen as the
underdog in need of "liberation."  Also, the media seems to feel that
military solutions are inappropriate for political problems, and they see
Israel's actions as providing evidence against this thesis.

If Isreal is "depraved," what would you call the other states in the
Middle East?
