Why Victor Davis Hanson rocks
Op-Eds like this one, that's why: http://article.nationalreview.com/print/?q=NWM2ZjY3YjNkMTA3ZDY4Mjg1OWY3OTUyNzcyYTc3NmU. I wish that I could think as well as Hanson, let alone write like him. He neatly skewers all of the stereotypes and falsehoods about Israel, and then turns the "logic" of the anti-Israelis upside down. What makes him (and this article) so effective is that he points out the blatant hypocrisy of those who constantly pass judgment on Israel. Right of return and compensation for refugees? Sure, we'll address that at the same time as we talk about the 500,000+ Jewish refugees who were summarily evicted from the Arab countries in 1948, forcing them to leave all of their possessions behind. Want to talk abou "illegal occupations"? Not a problem, just as soon as we address the fate of East Prussia (he doesn't even bring up West Prussia). It goes on, but you get the point............
