Well, by the time you get to the second paragraph he is seriously twisting the truth. "Two years ago at the Camp David summit, in the presence of the president of the United States, the Palestinians were offered an end to the occupation--a total end, a final end--by the prime minister of Israel." That is simply not true, and the man wrote it must know it's not true. At no stage has there ever been an offer by Israel to withdraw to the 1967 borders.

The Internet makes it possible to dig behind superficial articles like that, and with a little work get a much clearer understanding of the facts about things like that. That doesn't mean that people can be expected to agree about how to interpret them or about what is desirable or possible; but it does mean we don't have to settle for sound-bite thinking.
