So far from fixing it

The NYTimes has a piece talking about how Israel is facing diplomatic problems and trying to repair its image after the recent Gaza attack and occupation.

Somehow, I don't think appointing Avigdor Lieberman as Foreign Minister is going to advance that effort.

Later: (Haaretz) "During Operation Cast Lead, Israeli forces killed Palestinian civilians under permissive rules of engagement and intentionally destroyed their property, say soldiers who fought in the offensive."
