If Rubin knows Arabic, she would have protested to the false characterization of Al-Akhbar newspaper. Al-Akhbar has not only been banned from Syria, and has not only prompted Hasan Nasrallah to distance himself publicly and officially from the paper, but the paper--as I learned this week from its editor-in-chief--has been banned from all government offices in Syria. Do your homework, Ms. Rubin, before you recycle what Zionists in DC are parroting. (thanks Ahmet)
