Angry Arab's latest rant about Israel

A link on the word "funny" points to a NY times article on Israeli elections. AA's post is entitled "How Israel is viewed in the US":

Israeli comedians are always funny, its poets are always talented, its writers are always brilliant, its politicians are always gifted, its people are always wonderful, its army is always humane even when butchering children, its courts are always fair even when ruling for apartheid, its women are always beautiful, its children are always cute, its culture is always vibrant, its diplomats are always skilled. There is no sense in talking about Israel in the US.

Is the NY Times article supposed to illustrate what AA is talking about? Read it and see what you think.
