Nice debate going on with Alan Dershowitz aboput Jimmy Carter and Israel. http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474976879837
If time is an issue just skip to Mr. Dershowitz's responses. Here's a sample: Scott argues that the situation of the Palestinians is well covered around the world, but not in the American media and he is flat wrong. I issue to him the following challenge: take any relevant period of time, and check any nationwide media, and compare the coverage received by the Palestinians with that received by the Kurds (who have a far stronger claim to statehood), the Tibetans (who also have a stronger case), the Armenians, and any other comparable group. Palestinians receive at least ten times more coverage than all three of those groups combined. The reason they are given such extensive coveragedisproportionate both to their number and to the legitimacy of their causeis threefold: Number one, they have used terrorism for the explicit purpose of receiving attention. They are the first to acknowledge that, and they are the first to brag that it has worked. Number two, oil is on their side, and number three, their perceived enemy is the Jewish state of Israel. It simply cannot be stated with credibility that their situation is not widely covered by the American media. This is not a matter of opinion. It is a matter of demonstrable and easily provable fact. I suggest that Scott do some research instead of simply parroting repeating Carter's falsehoods. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
