Liberals and the Arabs

Epic Fail: Obama Supporters Try to Defend His Middle East Policy   "What fascinates me is that on the rare occasions when Obama supporters defend his policy against real and informed criticism, they cannot come up with anything good. Only by forgetting history, distorting it, or leaving out huge chunks of reality can they make a case.
"The only way they can “win” arguments is in media, where the other side is basically not permitted to speak at all." Barry Rubin, who also wrote The Myth that the MSM Understands the Middle East

Andrew Sullivan Formally Joins the Arabist Crowd  "Why is it logical that the US vote for Palestinian statehood, since the Palestinians, from the start of Israel’s existence, have made it quite clear that they have rejected any chance given them over and over to actually form a state that would live in peace side by side with Israel? Instead of supporting negotiations with the Palestinians that would result in an actual two-state solution, Sullivan accuses the U.S. of being an “enabler of Israeli intransigence.”"  Ron Radosh  is an Adjunct Senior Fellow at The Hudson Institute, and a Prof. Emeritus of History at the City University of New York.

LAPD Dep. Chief Downing: ‘We should not demonize the Muslim Brotherhood’  "Downing’s claims that “we should not demonize the Muslim Brotherhood” are particularly curious since the leader of the international Muslim Brotherhood declared war on the United States during a press conference last October (a transcript of his comments is available at MEMRI). It seems the Muslim Brotherhood does a good job of demonizing itself."
