Domestic Israeli and Palestinian angles that affect Annapolis are legitimate MSM angles. At what point do they cross a line and set up Israel (or the PA) as scapegoats?
The Financial Times, for example, doesn’t cross that line, but Time magazine’s Tim McGirk does:
If the Israelis can show that Abbas is a weakling, and the democratic impulse among Palestinians isn’t as strong as their thirst for revenge, then Bush wouldn’t blame them for refusing to go to the peace summit. It’s an easy out.
