I am so grateful for Ali Abunimah. His excellent site, Electric Intifada, is an invaluable counter to the relentless, boundless tidal wave of pro-Israel propaganda thrown in our faces day after day.

Notice how close Goldberg came to walking off the set? All he could do was try to concede in the least damaging way, but Abunimah was not going to give him the usual powder puff treatment Israel's defenders are used to.

This is a quote from Abunimah that will stay with me:

"Why is the onus always on the occupied, the dispossessed, the refugees, to prove their good behavior to the ghetto masters?"

Thank you KoKo for posting this.
