Brad is a brilliant, talented, well regarded journalist, who uses more than a right or left wing ideology when writing. To call him obnoxious is to point a finger right back at yourself. I find your writing to be more than obnoxious. You haven't a clue who Bradley is. This is a man who donned a kafiah and met with terrorists in the basement of a mosque 25 years ago, claiming to be "just an American journalist" not a Jew, and risked his own life in order to get a better understanding of who they were.<br /><br />When was the last time YOU received an award for journalism from the United Nations? They, obviously, think quite highly of him. When was the last time the Federation brought YOU to the United States to speak on Israel and the chances for peace in the Middle East?<br /><br />It's people like you who make Jews like me ashamed. You are narrow minded and ignorantLani Silvernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675600882597316438.post-7018125983637064322009-05-18T08:15:00.000-07:002009-05-18T08:15:00.000-07:00Just came across your smarmy blog.

I was only giving an "inside" perspective from my experience of the 2006 Lebanon war. Whereas the international media highlighted the assassination of this or that "Hizballah high-ranking official," it was the dead family members that took the front seat inside Lebanon. These Israeli methods work like a charm when it comes to Hizballah's recruitment propaganda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675600882597316438.post-37824270319018357902009-01-04T09:08:00.000-08:002009-01-04T09:08:00.000-08:00ms. tee, when I issue moral criticism of Israelis,...ms. tee, <BR/><BR/>when I issue moral criticism of Israelis, I don't for the moment wish to say that others are better.

Somehow "the kill" -- not to mention the four wives -- makes it morally acceptable. It was the same during the 2006 war on Lebanon. No one found it morally reprehensible when 10-20 family members died in targeted assassinations. On the other side -- in Lebanon and presumably also in Gaza -- the ensuing public outrage resulted more from wiping out the family than the one person.<BR/><BR/>On another note, I agree with your moral stance (I have my own atheist reasoning for it). I was at a protest in downtown Chicago two days ago and I found more people who would agree with you, <A HREF="http://besidebeirut.wordpress.com/2009/01/02/downtown-chicago-demonstration/20090102_1525501/" REL="nofollow">expressing solidarity with Sderot</A>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675600882597316438.post-27069382545273771672009-01-04T07:43:00.000-08:002009-01-04T07:43:00.000-08:00"just support our boys".
