Now Sarah Palin is going after Rashid Khalidi as a "radical" professor. Gee, I know Khalidi and he's not very radical. He's sober, even a little middle of the road.
If you have any doubts about the disastrous effects of the Israel lobby, consider that CNN says that Khalidi "has accused the country [Israel] of 'occupying' Palestinian territories." This shows how little Americans know about this situation, how afraid the media are of the issue, and what a negative priority Palestinian human rights are here.
