Why Is Khalidi Silent?

Here is Fox News harassing Rashid Khalidi. Khalidi has never been so prominent as he is now. An author who has sought to get his important ideas and books out to the multitudes wears a muzzle. When he has nothing to be ashamed of. When he has only spoken up for the new history and the right of self-determination of the Palestinian people, a right trashed for 60 years in the U.S. Why? Because he wants Obama to win and he is willing to suppress his own views to do so. Because he believes that Obama, notwithstanding the fact that he has distanced himself from Khalidi in an ignoble manner, will be better for Khalidi's country, the United States, than John McCain. Because he knows Obama and trusts him on these issues. Because he is putting his country's interests above his own. There is some Sydney Carton in this, real nobility.
