Viol, ISIS, Mein Kampf et autres mensonges : comment Israël a perdu toute crédibilité

Une génération entière, sinon plus, a déjà construit une perception d’Israël comme un régime génocidaire, et aucun certain nombre de mensonges futurs, de films hollywoodiens ou de reportages du magazine Maxim ne pourront jamais atténuer cette perception.
