John Mearsheimer and Glenn Greenwald on Gaza — in the new TAC
A new issue of The American Conservative went to press yesterday and is now on-line for subscribers. Our lead feature is a package of stories on the Gaza crisis, with essays by John Mearsheimer, Avi Shlaim, Daniel Levy, Glenn Greenwald, and Tom Streithorst. We’ve put up the Mearsheimer and Greenwald essays as a preview — take a look. (Update: We’ve also made available Phil Weiss’s terrific take-down of the new Rupert Murdoch bio.)

I knew Bush was a bad president but Glenn Greenwald writing an article that appears in The American Conservative? Zoiks!!!
Is there ANY possibility that you might put at last ONE essay in that doesn’t take the position that Hamas is just a bunch of happy go lucky lads and that Israel isn’t the root of all evil in the world. Just asking.
Do you have any plans to make the dead-tree version of TAC optional for subscribers? I love the hardcopy, but I would be glad to help save the expense of printing and mailing it out. Or you could send my copy to Bill Pearlman who might find at least ONE essay that meets with his approval, were he to ACTUALLY READ IT. (sorry for the inappropriate caps; irritating, isn’t it?)
Bill there are plenty of websites dedicated to telling wingnuts exactly what you want to hear, why try to corrupt this one? Let them report what they think. You don’t have to believe it. If the facts don’t support their opinions, challenge them but don’t ask them not to report an opinion you don’t share.
I’d be curious to know if Mr. Pearlman has read any of these articles, or if he just assumes they must be pro-Hamas because the authors aren’t in favor of moving the capital of the United States to Tel Aviv?
Also, Mr. Greenwald has written for TAC before, and despite his faults, remains a more interesting writer than the overwhelming majority of folks who identify themselves as conservatives.
‘because the authors aren’t in favor of moving the capital of the United States to Tel Aviv?’
Too bad most on Capitol Hill are in favor thereof.
Oh if the Founding Fathers were alive today… it would be ON again.
Allow me, if you will, to rephrase Mr. Pearlman’s comment in the light of the article written by Mr. Greenwald:
“Is there ANY possibility that the US Senate might manage ONE dissenting voice that doesn’t take the position that the IDF is just a bunch of happy go lucky lads and that Hamas is the root of all evil in the world. Just asking.”
The irony of your statement, Mr. Pearlman, is near-perfect.
(N.B. I believe the second “is” in the quoted comment is correct – the original “isn’t” seems to introduce a double negative.)
