Joe Klein on Palestinians

"Of course what Palestinians are "known for" or how they are defined might not always resemble what they're actually doing.  There is a long tradition of Palestinian nonviolent resistance. There has rarely been, however, much U.S. media coverage of those acts--which means that, every so often, someone will urge Palestinians to consider behavior they've been practicing for years, or treat nonviolence as if it were a striking new development in the conflict--as the New York Times did last year."
