But my thinking about the current Middle East crisis and its protagonists has in fact radically changed during the past two years. I imagine that I feel a bit like one of those western fellow travellers rudely awakened by the trundle of Russian tanks crashing through Budapest in 1956. Should rewrite his "Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem" then although when he didn't fool around with the primary sources he was ok. Bad news for the revisionist liars though.
