ALTERMAN: NOT EVIL, JUST WRONG

It's heartening to see Alterman take time out of his Israel-bashing to attack the hard-core anti-Semites on the Left. It's one thing to blame the current war on Sharon, its another to attribute 9/11 to the Mossad. Can we get a short round of golf-claps for Mr. Alterman?

To be fair, it is important to distinguish anti-Israel views that are a mere extension of Jew hatred from anti-Israel views that originate from a complex mixture of Jewish guilt, membership in the cult of the victim and a shallow understanding of the conflict's history. I wouldn't want anyone to think of me as unfair, dude.
