A source on politics, war, the Middle East, Arabic poetry, and art.

So the Guardian (which wrote a fawning and lousy editorial in praise of Itzhak Rabin whose Hebrew version of his memoir, but not the English version, contained account of the brutal eviction of the people of Ladd-Ramlah in Palestine in 1948 by Zionist forces) decided to go against Chomsky for some reason. But why Chomsky, I wonder? For Chomsky's perspective of the interview, see here. Of all the wars and crimes going in the world, certainly the Guardian should be focusing on the real culprits. Not that I am opposed to criticizing Chomsky. I don't agree with him on everything, but I know that he is a very nice person in person, as everybody tells you. I am for the full return AND compensation of Palestinian refugees to their HOMES in Palestine, and I am opposed to the two-unequal-states in Palestine. And feminist members of the audience at Kalamazoo College last week informed me that Chomsky gave an interview to the repulsive and misogynist publication, Hustler. (thanks to all those who sent me the links)
