이것이 서구 사회에서 비추어지고 있는 한국의 모습입니다. 한국인들은 강력한 반이스라엘 국가로 알려지고 있습니다. 그리고 불교국가로 알려져 있습니다.
지금 현재 시몬 페레스가 한국을 방문중입니까?
한국인들은 중동상황에 관하여 제대로 알지 못하며 특히 이런 오해에는 동아일보와 제휴한 로이터 통신이 큰 역할을 하고 있어서 로이터의 기사조작을 로이터링이라고 합니다. 이번에도 구호선의 승선자들이 먼저 칼로 이스라엘 특공대를 찌르고 중상을 입힌 사실은 보도하지 않으면서 9명을 죽인 사실만 강조해서 보냅니다. 그 배의 승선자들은 하마스 특공대였습니다! 그들이 먼저 이스라엘 군인들의 정선명령을 거부하고 저항하기 시작했던 것입니다.
한국의 반기문은 가자지구 하마스의 대변인이라고 이스라엘에서 불리웁니다. 참으로 슬픈 현상이 벌어지고 있으며 메시아 예수아께서 오시는 날 엄중한 심판이 벌어질 것입니다.
South Korea protesters
Seoul downgrades status of president's trip from 'official' to 'working', due to pressure over Gaza flotilla raid.
By News Agencies Tags: Israel news Gaza flotilla Shimon PeresDozens of pro-Palestinian protesters in South Korea greeted visiting President Shimon Peres with cries of "killer", as he held talks with his counterpart in Seoul on Thursday.
Some 50 demonstrators surrounded the Israeli embassy under watch of four busloads of riot police to protest the Israel Navy's deadly raid on a Gaza-bound humanitarian aid flotilla two weeks ago.

During the demonstration, protesters stained an Israeli flag with handprints in the color of blood and called on Israel to lift its blockade of the Gaza Strip.
"We are here to denounce the Lee Myung-Bak government for welcoming the internationally criticised president," priest Choi Hun-Kook told demonstrators, according to AFP.
South Korea announced on Sunday that it was downgrading the status of Peres' trip from an official "state visit" to a routine "working visit", due to international pressure in the wake of the Israeli raid on a Turkish-flagged ship and the deaths there of nine activists.
Initially, Seoul had even suggested postponing the trip to another date. Meanwhile, Peres canceled his planned visit to Vietnam at Hanoi's request.
Pro-Palestinian organizations in South Korea began to prepare their demonstrations against the visiting Israeli president last week. One of the groups managed to get its hands on Peres' full itinerary – including the hotel where the president is planning to stay – and published it on its website along with calls to join the protests.
It was these calls to protest that led the South Korea government to consider canceling the visit and to decide on the need for increased security and a revised itinerary for the Israeli president's visit.
The visit was planned months ago, and was meant to be the first time an Israeli president had visited South Korea and Vietnam in an official capacity.
According to a statement issued by the Office of the President, Peres' office, on its own initiative, contacted Korea University eight days ago to notify them that the President would not be able to participate in a ceremony planned for him, as opposed to reports that the university canceled the ceremony in light of the Gaza flotilla events, as was reported earlier in AFP.
