Huh: ‘JPost’ assigns review of book on AIPAC to guy who spoke at AIPAC conference

The Jerusalem Post has published a rightwing attack on Dan Fleshler's new book by Jonathan Schanzer of the Jewish Policy Forum. Funny–Fleshler's book attacks AIPAC, and Schanzer just spoke at the AIPAC policy conference, about Palestinian politics. I wonder whether Schanzer got paid? And maybe he should have disclosed this connection when he was slamming Fleshler?
Also, there's this attack on the Palestinians for not being partners for peace. But if violence is a disqualifier for a role in government, what about the Pakistanis, the Israelis, the Iraqis, and the Kosovars? Doesn't seem fair really, unless you work for the Israel lobby:

However, the average American also understands that
the Israel-Palestinian conflict persists because the Palestinians
consistently reject peace. Indeed, the Palestinians have made this
perfectly clear through their rhetoric, their media, their mosque
sermons and, lamentably, their endless acts of violence, ranging from
suicide bombings to indiscriminate rocket attacks. Until this changes,
the American people can be expected to stand behind policies that
bolster Israel's security. This is not "right wing." It's common sense.

    Should he not be paid for a book review? Just because you can not find employment, for good reason, is that any cause for such jealousy?

    who better to critic a book critiquing AIPAC than someone connected to AIPAC your post is a bit petty – and a tad unhinged when the anti-lobby and Obama achieve their wet dream of appeasing Israel's enemies and creating another Middle Eastern Islamist terror state -but this one bordering Israel & ready to kill all Israelis – perhaps you can get paid by the Guardian to write an apology essay.

    RE: 'JPost' assigns review of book on AIPAC to guy who spoke at AIPAC conference \\MY COMMENT: I certainly do not expect any better from the "Jerusalem Post" (or "Commentary", "National Review", "New Republic" etc).

    The average American's common sense is manipulated by the zionist-controlled MSM & government. It is not far removed from the people's radio given to Das Volk by Goebbels back in the day.
