Critics Cornered

The Mail & Guardian published a staff-ed about the letters they received about Ronnie Kasrils. Criticizing Israel is certainly legitimate. Our issue with the M&G is that Kasrils’ commentary goes much further, questioning Israel’s right to exist as a legitimate state. This was the same problem with Durban, 2001 where South Africa hosted a UN-sponsored anti-racism conference solely to attack Israel’s right to exist.

We do credit that the paper for publishing Joel Pollak‘s rebuttal, which we already blogged, and we encourage readers to Write Right.
