Their Best Advocate?

You will search in vain for any references to terrorism, which is of course the very reason Israel is wary of granting the Palestinians a state. If you show no respect for human life, perhaps you do not "deserve" to be treated like nations that are capable of acting like 21st-century humans. If you do things like, you know, set up military bases in hospitals, etc., maybe there is a reason 81 Senators are on Israel's side. And maybe it's not that body's "smug pro-Israel complacency," as the article asserts.

Rashid Khalidi is one of the respected Arab voices on the Middle East, right? Why isn't he balanced?
