The Other Side (My side)

Well Rob, his is one point of view but not mine. I am far more in league with Dr. Judea Pearl. Since the cruel decapitation of his son, Daniel Pearl, of the Wall Street Journal, Dr Pearl has worked ceaselessly to create beauty and build bridges of understanding to the Arab and Muslim world.

Given the scope of his tragedy and his positive and constructive response of outreach instead of hate, his view on Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism needs equal time. His op-ed piece was on the same page as the one you cite.

Also, I'd love to know if there are particular aspects of Ehrenreich's argument which you find to be compelling or which you find to be troubling.
