Thanks Issam for the reference,
Avnery is a good writer and debater. I posted on his article which was published in many independant forums and publications.
My post on who is the dog and who is the tail
Seems to me the W & M paper has at least achieved something: more debate on the US/Israel partnership in the US itself. The Israel Lobby seems actually to be a little on the retreat.
Re Rachel Corrie, over at Israpundit.com the latest comment by "ShyGuy":
"But I do like Rachel Corrie - with butter and syrup."

I rarely read and debate on american and canadian political blogs, except the academic ones. Many of them are run by uncivilised bloggers. Politics, specially in the states, are a matter of bashing the opponent rather than arguing with him. There is no point in exchanging ideas with these people.
