Haaretz. (Leftist Jews to Israel: Stop Vilifying Goldstone), but not the New York Times. Haaretz:
The letter [from Jews Say No!] also accused the worldwide Jewish community of unsuitably attacking Justice Goldstone and said "when those within a community try to "excommunicate" and dishonor truth-tellers, it is our obligation and responsibility to speak out vehemently on their behalf and on behalf of the truth they bring."

Wonder which side of this conversation “liberal” Witty is on, huh?
The fact of Jews demonizing other Jews over these issues is just another example of the corrupting influence of Israel.
I’ll admit, I’m not surprised. Political discourse in Israel, albeit limited to a handful of venues and outlets is far more honest regarding the Israeli-Palestinian issue than it is in the US. I don’t have to tell you that until recently, discussing Israel in the mainstream media was taboo in the US.
In 2003 the US was admonishing France for not participating in the invasion of Iraq. Congress went as far as renaming French Fries at the cafeteria “Freedom Fries”.
So what’s the point of having this so-called freedom to discuss the occupation in Israeli media, while the real power is vested in Israel’s supporters within the US where none of that debate is allowed or heard?
