So Matt Yglesias asks. As readers of this blog will probably already know, he was noted for being more pro-Israel than the Israelis last summer during the war in Lebanon, declaring the bombing of Lebanon to be a “miracle of God.” That his “miracle” was busily killing Christians along with other Lebanese civilians never seems to have troubled him.

By contrast, everyone who thinks a little pressure to make peace could wind up helping Israel in the long run is an anti-semite.
