A half-successful attempt to explain terrorism as a normative concept. Relies on some pretty pedestrian arguments to make the case, and doesn't include much factual evidence. The anti-Israel sentiment is strong, but so one-dimensional that it's hard to call this piece compelling.

This is essentially equal and opposite to the pro-Israel platitudes we see in American press.

This is a well-written and thought-out piece which explains why Israel's attacks on Gaza are ill-founded and doomed to weaken the position of both Israel and the United States. Information is factual and well-grounded in reality despite what us 'westerners' have been conditioned to believe.

How long until the majority of Americans realize that far and away the biggest sponsor of terrorism is the U.S. taxpayer? It may be a tough pill to swallow, but none of this can be explained any other way. Will Obama wise up or does he really want war with Iran?! It will be another unwinnable war, in the BEST case scenario.
