about the impotent Israel-lobby where have you been linivg Proff Emeritus Slater? He also mentions the many blogs that deal with the I/P issue but doesnt even mention mondoweiss dot net. I want to take (mild) issue with that, and especially with MJ Rosenberg, who today wrote: If he speaks out on Israel/Palestine, the lobby will try to shut him down .After all, if they can shut Paul Krugman up, who exactly will be allowed to speak? A bit over the top, dear MJ? They? shut Krugman up? Who will be allowed to speak?The Israel lobby isn't that powerful, indeed not by a long, long shot. Indeed, by suggesting that the lobby has the power to shut up the critics, we are in danger of creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. It doesn't take much bravery to take on the lobby; rather, a fear of doing so, when the consequences are so trivial, might be labeled as timidity. |
