As usual with New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, when it comes to Israel, today’s offering, entitled “Saving Israel From Itself”,” presents a disturbing mix of reasonable conclusions (blockade is generally destructive to all, including Israel), ugly and erroneous equivalences (PLO terror of the past and the ship boarding are the same kinds of actions), and the refusal to admit that the solutions he proposes (and with which I largely agree!) forget that Hamas is committed, not to a two-state solution, but to the destruction of Israel.
Hard to know if the nuggets of truth and wisdom are worth the chunks of falseness and willful ignorance. What do you think?
