And of course, rather than responding substantively to Rubin both Rightwingers and Leftists resort to name calling, guilt by association, diversion, etc.

Not impressive.

If Netanyahu did what Abbas routinely does WRT inciting, glorifying and celebrating terror, there would be saturation media coverage of it. For some reason, most Western journalists aren't interested in the Arabic Press where there's mountains of evidence of Abbas' support for terror and hatred vs. Jews.
