Media Focus

One of the key terms was "laundering" (Irwin Cotler) referring to what is going on in creating legal mumbo jumbo in legitimate international forums with legal and moral standingthat is targeted at delegitimizing Israel not only in the mainstream, but through tools of International Law - and a disproportionate focus on Israel while granting immunity to those who instigate it from the same due process.

Irwin Cotler addressed how this poison is mainstreaming and its further implications in no uncertain terms.
