Israel/Palestine

(6,171 posts)I took a quick peek to see what's on offer on the Mosaic Magazine website, and my general feeling is that it promotes a neo-con and pro-Israel POW and that most of its material is borrowed from other sites. While the OP is easily one of the worst articles on offer, they're all (the ones I read) examples of bad argumentation.
I think it's telling that the poor Dr. Matthias Küntzel conveniently forgot to mention the fact that Jewish pre-state militias were very busy expelling Palestinians wherever they could: "By 1 May 1948, two weeks before the Israeli Declaration of Independence, nearly 175,000 Palestinians (approximately 25%) had already fled." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Palestinian_exodus#December_1947_.E2.80.93_March_1948) He's either completely clueless about the circumstances around the civil war in Palestine or intellectually dishonest.
