This was an Im Tirzu demonstration. The caption is perfectly accurate. Their idea of sarcasm was staging a faux Hamas demonstration. Your confusion is understandable, but you might straighten out your argument before shooting off accusations. By the way, in order to understand the photo, all you need to do is look at the campaign ad in English nearer the top. This blog is intended for readers capable of making that simple inference themselves.

The placards should also be translated so that everyone understands exactly who is supporting NIF and why. Evidently, if you support NIF, you must hate the IDF.

Let’s see – there is a photo labeled “Im Tirzu demonstration outside Prof. Naomi Chazan’s home” But the placards say “We love Naomi, We hate IDF” and “Thank you.” So the person who wrote this blog, the great expert, did not even bother to look at the photo. What a great case they made against the supporters of Chazan! Israelis don’t hate the IDF, because without the IDF there would be no Israel. The IDF is us, our sons and our daughters. So NIF and their supporters do not represent “democracy,” but rather an attempt to buy support for unpopular views with money from abroad. That’s not “democracy.”

I am not a settler supporter and I voted for Meretz in the past. I can’t do that any more. I won’t be associated with people who hate the IDF and their supporters, and with people who mobilize initiatives to destroy the state of Israel.

Even those of us who felt that the Goldstone report was unfair called for a thorough civilian investigation of the IDF, a position that I am sure NIF would support. But the same logic must work for NIF supporters. Im Tirtzu may have gotten many facts wrong, but there are certainly problems with some of the organizations that NIF funds and has funded in the past.

You were right, the this photo was from the demo outside the Herzeliya conference. Although for all intents and purposes this is academic — the signs and kaffiyeh’s etc. were virtually identical in both — we are more than happy to correct. It’s not often that someone with such inside knowledge joins the Coteret collaborative research effort and we welcome you aboard.

However, the credibility of the article is undermined somewhat by the incorrect caption under the last photo. People who are looking to discredit you will say “he couldn’t even get the caption right, the rest of the information is suspect also.” I suggest you correct the caption.
