Is it leftwing to fear that Palestinians will get their houses back?
At The American Prospect, Gershom Gorenberg states that the Sheikh Jarrah protests have stopped the evictions for now, and thereby revivified "the Israeli left." Good news. (h/t Richard Witty)
Now the quibbles.I believe that Gorenberg is attached to that leftwing label out of some Vietnam-era pride, but I would question his taxonomy. [...]
Oren’s falsehoods
At Alex Kane's blog, more on Ambassador Michael Oren's Op-Ed in the Washington Post.
Oren writes:Recent events have revealed the dimensions of this divide. On the same day last month that the Arab League authorized Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to move from proximity talks to direct negotiations with the Israeli government, Hamas terrorists in Gaza [...]
media conspiracy theory
The Israel lobby is an expression of older Jews chiefly. Sidney Harman is as old as Methuselah, almost. His wife Jane Harman, a congresswoman who appears at AIPAC and works for Israel's interests, is 65. Forbes on Sidney Harman's purchase of Newsweek:“Jane Harman would like to control Newsweek. She is interested in exiting Congress and [...]
Jim Crow Op-Ed pages
No surprise: the Washington Post Op-Ed page grants a platform to Michael Oren, the Israeli ambassador, to justify continuing occupation, and bashing all but a few select Palestinians.Rarely have the lines in the Middle East's sands been drawn so distinctly. Arrayed on one side is the peace-seeking camp that opposes militant extremism and [...]
More on Efraim Karsh’s ‘travesties’
More criticism of that Efraim Karsh piece of Zionist propaganda that appeared on the Times Op-Ed page saying that the Palestinians have been abandoned by the Arab world. Angry Arab says his poll #s were from a website's click-poll. And Jerry Slater asks the right question, why is the Times giving space to [...]
‘Huffpo’ corrects ‘Times’ smear that Arabs don’t care about Palestinians
If you wonder why the internet is gaining power, and the MSM are losing it, consider the politics of our Middle East policy (going back to Iraq) and the fact that the NY Times today runs the disgraceful Op-Ed by Israel lobbyist Efraim Karsh telling the Palestinians to fold, take any deal Israel offers, because [...]
Lo, another Israel apologist on the NYT op-ed page!
The staying power of neocons is amazing. Here is Efraim Karsh, the man who denied the Nakba, who wrote that Palestinians were "driven" out in 1948 by their own leaders, is on the Op Ed page of the NYT today, writing that there are no reasonable Palestinians.
Koozie summarizes: "Article states that an online poll of [...]
Does Israelo-fascism exist?
Robert O. Paxton, the distinguished emeritus professor at Columbia University, is perhaps the world’s leading authority on fascism. His book Vichy France (1972) has become a classic, not least in France itself, for telling truths about the collaborationist regime that the French themselves had been too ashamed and timid to say. More recently, The Anatomy [...]

Jay Rosen & Michael Otterman: What Will WikiLeaks Change?
"What if the elites decide that public opinion doesn't matter?" That's the truly scary question asked by Jay Rosen about the newest leaks from what he calls the world's first "stateless news organization," WikiLeaks. Using the power of the Internet, WikiLeaks is not bound by the laws of any particular country, and its release of the Afghanistan war documents this week to publications in three countries (the U.S., England and Germany) has been a topic of discussion all week.
