It's kind of like how the left-wingers who had been proposing pulling the settlements out of Gaza were suddenly judged "pro-Zionist parties to economic war crimes" by their fellow left-wingers after the IDF actually did pull the settlements out of Gaza.

Was it over the top ridiculous or is she actually trying to see Israel's side of things? That's interesting right there. Wait, Mary Robinson of Durbin fame thought it was one-sided?
