If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.
I was listening to some panel discussion on the Middle East on C-Span the other day and a member of the Arab media blasted this thinking. He certainly didn't seem to have any love for the US or Israel but he pointed out the fixation with the Israeli-Palestinian dispute is to deflect attention from the failings of all of the Arab nations in the region. As he said, the only free press the truly exists today can be found in Iraq and Israel. Sadly I can't recall his name.
When it was Pat Buchanan, it was one thing. When it was the New York Times, it was still no problem. But this, this is a problem.
Note to the detractors of Israel: You have cried wolf too many times. Israel could use nukes now and get away with it.
It doesn't matter anymore.
They won't invent a new word, they'll just call it "Justice".
