Yes, I thought that last paragraph of Cockburn's was odd. Like
how it
was odd for that Polish-American group leader to falsely say Rahm
Emanuel was an Israeli citizen and had been in the Israeli army.

I caught Hitchens on a morning CSPAN call-in show not too long
ago and he was talking about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
when
a caller asked about "the Jews" and  the media in a subtle,
sinister
way and Hitchens did a great job of making the point you're
making.

You would think Cockburn would know better. Maybe he's just
seeing
what sort of a reaction he'd get, for whatever reason. Even that
would
be strange.
