“ISRAEL OUT OF THE UNITED STATES”: Two more reports on the weekend’s protests, from The American Prospect. (The first report focuses on the Jew-hate to be found at the rally; the second is basically pro-rally, morally nebulous [how is it “extremist” to call Yasser Arafat a terrorist??], and kind of pointless. The author acts like the rally will have no political oomph because “the Israel lobby” controls Congress. Obviously the US Congress is pro-Israel, but the rally will have no political oomph for a very different reason: The protestors made little sense and barely agreed with one another on major, basic policy points. The first article makes this clear.)
