Well that's not true either of me, who forwarded it, or Harper's, which published it originally. I can't think of another glossy mag that's as critical of Israeli policy as Harper's, in fact. The issue that the Fischer interview is in contains a couple of hysterical letters condemning Seth Ackerman's map of Palestine in the December issue - which Seth answered quite well - and Dan Lazare's piece on the new archaelogy that shows that most of the Old Testament story of ancient Israel is fictional.
So do you & Chuck want to rework your critique?
