Across the Australian continent, Freemantle AntiNuclear Group rallied at their local wharf north of Perth on July 4. About fifty people demonstrated where the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington and guided missile cruiser USS Cowpens were docked prior to their participation in OTS. Policing was heavy, and former Australian senator Jo Vallentine and the others were told not to interfere with the "comfort" of the visiting sailors by speaking to them about peace and nuclear issues. Police arrested her for breach of the peace when she refused an order to move on.

So it went with the other atrocities. Every baby metamorphosed, in the act of dying, into a Hamas terrorist. Every bombed mosque instantly became a Hamas base, every apartment building an arms cache, every school a terror command post, every civilian government building a "symbol of Hamas rule." Thus the Israeli army retained its purity as the "most moral army in the world.
Even if the Israeli army were to succeed in killing every Hamas fighter to the last man, even then Hamas would win. The Hamas fighters would be seen as the paragons of the Arab nation, the heroes of the Palestinian people, models for emulation by every youngster in the Arab world. The West Bank would fall into the hands of Hamas like a ripe fruit, Fatah would drown in a sea of contempt, the Arab regimes would be thr...
