Balance on the op-ed page of the NYT
Yesterday, the op-ed page of the New York Times asked Benny Morris (the advocate of ethnic cleansing) to represent the Israeli point of view. For the Palestinian point of view, the NYT asked...Benny Morris. Today, the NYT asked David Grossman to represent the Israeli point of view. For the Palestinian point of view, the NYT asked...David Grossman. The latter is considred a "dove" or a "liberal" by the schewed standards of the Zionist state. I never was impressed with those Israeli doves, ever. This "dove" today declares that Israel has been "restrained." He presumably believes that more than 60 women and children killed is a sign of restraint on the part of Israel.
