*Disclaimer:
It is becoming more frequent to find that stories I have linked up to and used quotes from
have been changed some time thereafter, without any correction notice. Sometimes the story is changed
so much so that it has nothing to do with the original link headline. I cannot and do not take responsibility
for such content changes. This has happened with articles at CNN, Haaretz, and Yahoo News. Yahoo
will often go back and change the headline, add content and the like. CNN removed vital facts from an article
with no correction. And Haaretz removed the original article that I linked to, and replaced it with a completely different story.
I find it completely unacceptable for a reputable news source to make such changes
without any indication as to why, or without any indication that a change has been made via a
correction notice. After reading this article I can see why CNN would change their content in this manner.

In that ideology, Israel is very important." - Jewish Telegraph Agency

And why does the United States stand virtually alone in the world in its unwavering support of Israel?
