I’m chagrined that a Roy Belmont comment got lost. I don’t censor comments unless the commenters are claiming to be other people, or they use scatological obscenity and namecalling.

Mondoweiss, and there’s an investment in what gets put there that’s
pretty strong. Anything other than the shallow American consensus
around Jewish/Israeli issues is heavy with all kinds of tension, from
all kinds of corners. A lot of self-justified nastiness, a lot of, as
I’m sure you’re more than aware, threats and animosity from anonymous
and semi-anonymous individuals. Not to mention our beloved sekurity
personnel, here and elsewhere, official and covert.
So.

Martillo says it’s there but he doesn’t link it, and I think he’s
confused about which one I mean.
Weiss: I’m lookin for it…
