Win, I never volunteered to come up with a comprehensive list of pro-Palestinian coverage, so I'm not going to feel bad about having failed to do it.

No, you just made the broad assertion I quoted, "Your author posted a pretty exhaustive list of the pro-Israel commentators, but I don't think he tried very hard to look for the pro-Palestinian commentators. He could have found several from every left of center paper in the country without having to look too hard. ". The distinction is a little obscure to me, but that's life. If you don't feel bad about it, I won't either.

What is more widespread is the liberal, criticize-both-sides-evenly, Oslo-has-to-work mindset that by now I have come to think of as Chamberlain rationality.

Yes, Nadine. That would be the toned down version of the "everybody who criticizes Israel is like Hitler" line. Which I find approximately as appealing as the "everybody who criticizes W is a traitor" line, also somewhat popular on SI.
