No it isn’t the Pentagon Papers, but here’s a small sign that the MSM is (finally) going to take on the big bad Israel lobby

Last night we did a post on the Israel Project's adoption of the term "ethnic cleansing" as a talking point for American Jews in opposing the removal of settlements from the West Bank. Repulsive. Well Newsweek yesterday published the Israel Project's "2009 Global Language Dictionary" that includes, on page 62, "The Best Settlement Argument," containing the claim, Why should peace require the ethnic cleansing of Jews from the West Bank?

Newsweek calls the pdf's publication a "web exclusive." Does this mean that the Mainstream Media are going to start reporting on the Israel lobby in an aggressive, even adversarial manner, which after all is a great American tradition with respect to corruption?

Thanks to Martin Wales for the fossicking here. The pdf:

Does anyone have a link to this report? All links I’ve found are dead; not surprising; it’s truth.

Nothing has changed. This was published 10 years ago and was supposed to signal some sort of breakthrough, according to Weiss’ note. Meanwhile, MW has continued to sell us a tipping point in support to Zionism that’s been right around the corner for just as long a time.
