Edward Rothstein is the official New York Times' anti-Arab/Muslim-in-residence. He was the one who wanted the Arab American Museum in Dearborn to feature terrorists in the Middle East. Here, he talks about the censorship of the a play about Rachel Corrie. This "art" critic supports censorship of art, if it dares to tackle the Arab-Israeli conflict in ways that are not approved or authorized by AIPAC. Notice that he quibbles with "facts" (and he is wrong on facts)--as if plays, paintings, movies, and art in general should be like a newspaper--just reporting facts, as if his own lousy newspaper reports facts.
