I understand that some people like Robert Fisk. The colonized really like it when one of the colonizers says a nice word or two once in a while about the colonized. They think they are being elevated. Their elation makes them pay fuzzy attention to the words: they forget that they are praised only when they mimic the colonizers. Did you read Fisk's praise of March 14th? He even noted the complexion of the demonstrators (Nation and MERIP also mentioned the looks of the demonstrators).
