In the above article, he wrote WRT the 2006 Hezbollah/Israel war:

"In 33 days of war, some 1000 Lebanese, almost all of them civilians, were killed – a record already broken in this war by the 17th day."

This is patently false, as at least 500 were Hezbollah militants.

When will this defamation end?

Israel's harshest detractors are bound to be disappointed again after the dust settles and IDF videos display the true face of Hamas. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for these defamers of Israel to be embarassed about their arrogance and (willful) ignorance. After all, true believers are only amenable to indoctrination based on emotion, not reason based on any amount of evidence that would invalidate their beliefs. They'll inevitably find other ways to justify their hatred and demonize Israel.
