Danny Rubinstein, The Other Elections; (Ha’aretz, 16 Nov 2002).
That was what killed off the 2003 Palestinian elections.
There’s more, read the whole thing. Well, it will be interesting to see what happens if the Palestinian people
don’t elect Mahmoud Abbas, like they’re supposed to. Andrew Schamess has more.
For anyone interested in the lawsuit threatened by MEMRI against Professor Juan Cole (Repressive MEMRI on AWC
frontpage), there’s both a well-written comprehensive defense and a set of links to other blogs supporting Cole
at Abu Aardvark’s place.
In short, if you do decide to take Professor Cole to court over the allegation that you cherry-pick the Arab
media to offer a highly mbt sportped perspective of Arab discourse, expect to lose. The trial would be
exceedingly helpful to the general good of discrediting you by shining light on your translation and selection
practices.
Cheerfully yours,
the aardvark
