• Chronicles of rejectionism (and Oxford American English)

    [Laughs] Taxi, don't blame Apple for this! It's whoever authored the entry in the Oxford dictionary company.
    But, seriously, when I saw this I had to do a double-take—I could not believe what I was reading!

• Exclusive report from Jerusalem

    Richard,
    Phil sometimes plugs an offhand email I send him as a post on his site, such as the case here. Sometimes I write my own post using the proper blog posting page and he or Adam reviews then posts it, sometimes with minor edits (often the title is changed).

    Phil and Adam want other voices, specially from the Palestinian side, to be present here. The idea that Philip Weiss is shy about his opinions is 'whatever'.

• Question to LA Times: 'Isn't it standard journalistic practice to ask for a response, especially when throwing around slanders like "Jew haters?"'

    A friend of mine also picked up on Daunt's declaration, "In cinematic London, Hamas militants are the new baby seals," calling out its grossness and attention-grabbing intent.

• 'NYT' blackout of Judge Goldstone continues

    Not an editorial, but the NYT reported on Israel's rejection of the Goldstone report a couple days ago here. Very insightful. That is, it made very good use of such insights as Gerald Steinberg's, president of NGO Monitor—except, the Times correspondents (Isabel Kershner is the lead here) identify him as "a political scientist at Bar-Ilan University and a leading force in Israel against what some here consider the politicized nature of human rights discourse." He's the leading force, and you are definitely the avid follower, aren't you? Elsewhere, Steinberg and others are referred to as "experts". The piece was focused on Israeli opinion, not that Palestinian opinions matter anyway.

• Talk to Ambassador Rice about the future

    Great letter @ehrens, thanks.

    Well the State Department is preparing its own statement on Goldstone still, and if anyone's interested you can contact them also here.
