Charles Freeman, Roger Cohen and the changing Israel debate

The right-wing, Israel-centric stranglehold over our political debates is clearly eroding.

    Freeman Withdraws

    http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/news/2009/03/statement_by_the_office_of_the_director_of_nationa.php?ref=fp2

    So Steven Rosen, an indicted spy and traitor, manages to sabotage the appointment of a government official. Nice. Looks like the West bank and Gaza aren't the only things that are Israeli-occupied.

    I have to call "bullshit" on the idea that the climate or debate have changed when it comes to Israel. The results are always the same: anyone who is in any way critical of what the Israeli government does is libeled, slandered, smeared and harassed. If your job is in any way dependent on political good will, you will be fired.

    Israel's stranglehold is still there and just as strong as ever.
