A classic Gary Rosen post — criticize my motives, ignore or grotesquely distort the facts I raise and the conclusions I draw, draw hysterical conclusions of his own.

Feel free to support whatever policy you see fit. If you think that Israel should continue to retaliate, ignore the past ineffectivness its attempts to fight the Arabs, and throw up its hands in despair when forced to contemplate its future, then don’t let me stop you — don’t worry, be happy. I’d suggest that letting Hamas join talks with Abbas and Secretary Rice might have worked out better.

Anyway, Happy Hanukkah.
