Dear Jonathan Cook,

Thank you for the free publicity and all the traffic to HonestReporting’s website we hope to get from today’s column in The Guardian. It’s quite flattering that we got your attention and that you think we have the power to silence everybody. Given the Israel bashing we’re accustomed to seeing in Comment is Free, we’re not doing a very good job.

All the best,

Pesach Benson
