Polemic from Jonathon Cook

Reader comment on item: Palestinians Who Prefer Israel

Submitted by garry prior (Malaysia), Feb 8, 2008 at 00:15

While I like to see all sides, I found this a preposterous mix of selective presentation and false statements of fact that cannot surely be supported?

I suspect the real reason Jonathan Cook lives in Nazareth is because he likes to spend his time in coffee houses listening to conspiracy theories and weaving them into ever more fantastic scenarios.

I do hope I am right.

I would be interested to see comments, especially from Daniel Pipes, on this article and the book concerned.http://www.rense.com/general80/isrr.htm
