-- Nu, so Yankel, did you read Haaretz this morning?
-- Who reads Haaretz any morning? It's full of unsubstantiated propaganda
-- Wait a minute, that's the point. Even Haaretz today showed how the Goldstone Report was anti-Semitic.
-- Who needs Haaretz for that?
-- It wasn't Haaretz, really, it was that, nu, that think tank run by Dore Gold.
-- What did it say?
-- Well, you know the guy who was the so-called military expert on the Goldstone mission.
-- The Irish sheigitz?
-- He said that before we entered Gaza, the Hamasniks fired about two rockets on us.
-- You're kidding.
-- No, I am not. "About two rockets!"
-- That's incredible. And this is on the front page of the Haaretz website? I mean, any idiot knows that during the month before the breakdown of the cease-fire on November 4, only one rocket was fired against Israel, on October 15. One, not two.
-- What?
-- Yeah, you heard right. And while you were blabbing I read the interview with Travers, and he was referring to the month before November 4, when the hostilities began again.
-- But Haaretz says that it is referring to the month before the Gaza Operation.
-- That's because Gold misread the interview. Or maybe the guy who wrote it up. The context makes it clear he's talking about the period of the cease-fire. And anyway, any idiot knows that the rocket fire escalated incredibly during the month of November.
-- Any idiot, maybe – but what about Travers?
-- According to Travers, Israeli sources said that 125 rockets were fired during November.
-- Who told you this?
-- It's on p. 79 of the Goldstone Report, which Travers signed off on.
-- So you are telling me that a rightwing think tank misreads an interview, and Haaretz doesn't check its facts?
-- I told you – Haaretz is full of unsubstantiated propaganda.

Jerry, you are doing "avodat kodesh". I only hope this is not all in vain, as the Israeli public less and less inclined to listen to such voices. They might draw a cartoon of you with a horn on your forehead.
