When it comes to chronicling Israel’s demonization among the chattering classes of Europe, there is no more valuable website than Tom Gross’s Mideast Media Analysis. In his most recent dispatch, Gross chronicles how Judge Goldstone’s Washington Post op-ed has unleashed an orgy of anti-Semitism in the Arabic press. It certainly is worth a look.
When conducting lessons-learned introspection at the end of the Clinton’s second term, Dennis Ross and his coterie of peace processors rightly concluded that among their biggest errors was ignoring Arab incitement. Plus ça change, as everyone knows, plus c’est la même chose. Not only do these cartoons provide a window into the thinking of such outlets as Al Jazeera, but the silence of Obama’s team is also revealing.
