Doug, read McReynolds on the Palestinian struggle, and read them forgetting everything else you know about the man. Taken by themselves, "prick" seems a mild designation for their author. He not only equates isolated Palestinian violence (including suicide bombings) with the Stern Gang but ascribes to the Palestinians a _tendency_ to terrorism. I had always thought highly of him too, but that post made me gag.
