It was naive of me to think that you could read a story about dead Palestinians and not immediately rush to spin it into something favorable to your politics.

Whatever my "blinders", cb, I recognized that most of the dead Palestinians in the story did not actually exist, but you did not.

Best defense is an offense, no matter how weak, right?

Why not simply admit that you erred in jumping to an untimely and unwarranted conclusion about Jenin? It's clear to anyone who's read your stuff, the ad feminem attacks like the one below on Nadine notwithstanding.

Nadine, Nadine. One of the things about blinders is that we don't know that we have them.

You appear to see everything through the blinder of "how does this affect Israel, politically"? It was naive of me to think that you could read a story about dead Palestinians and not immediately rush to spin it into something favorable to your politics.

I have had enough of the constant onslaught of PR concerning Jenin. The spinmeisters are burning up the Internet. Putting my metaphorical hands over my ears and eyes, and not looking again until I read something coming from neither side's spin factory.

(I am doing you the honor of continuing to believe you are doing this for free, because you work harder at it than most people who do it for money.)
