It was an op-ed piece, not a news piece. You're allowed to be biased in op-eds. >>In my view, Israelis and Palestinians are BOTH to blame for the violence in the Middle East.<< My own belief is that if the Palestinians would stop attacking the Israelis, the Israelis would leave the Palestinians alone. Why won't the Palestinians stop attacking the Israelis? matckh.org

<<<Because one raises questions about Sharon's involvement in a massacre (the massacre is FACT) or argues about Israel's modus operandi then one is labeled an anti-Semite. Where's the legitimacy in that?>>> DrG, yours is a fair question... But, take a look at the other side of the issue... I wonder sometimes, no one is allowed to be labeled as an Ant-Semite, but looking at history there must have been plenty of them 'in general population', as it were... ;-) Where are they all hiding? And I don't have in mind the self-admitted ones, or the Neo-Nazi's and such, but more the garden variety ones, the lukewarm... To an extent, I suspect, the 'evenhanded' circles have got to be the refuge of many.
