2010 Must Be Showtime for Mideast Peace

As 2009 draws to a close, we are bombarded by the annual litany of commentary features recapping the year in Hollywood movies to the year in international conflict, and everything in between.

When it comes to the Middle East peace process, current conventional wisdom suggests the 2009 recap might go something like this:

INSS Insight No. 154, December 29, 2009

Despite the tendency to denote any simulation exercise on security issues a "war game," the recent simulation designed and held at INSS did not focus on the option of a military attack. Rather, it developed the scenario of a bilateral US-Iranian negotiation over Iran's nuclear program.

Los Angeles Times Editorial: Stop Stifling Debate On Israel

The Los Angeles Times today calls for a free debate on US policy in the Middle East.

The editorial, written by editorial page editor, Nick Goldberg, defends the US-Israeli alliance but questions why only one side is allowed to be involved in policy-making.

It's worth a read. More evidence that the get-Freeman effort was both misguided and, perhaps, even worse than that.

Whose idea was it to go after Freeman? Pat Buchanan?

would it have traction if...?

Submitted by DrSteveB on March 12, 2009 - 11:38am.

Yes the organized campaign was generated by AIPAC/anti-real peace/pro-occupation schmucks. But I do still continue wonder if it would have had the traction and result that it did, if there was not the more legit questions about Freeman conservative/Kissingeresque ultra-realist views regarding China and Saudi dictators and stability vs. democracy. Didn't Human Rights Campaign and some other not-AIPAC types also oppose him? What if he had JUST been a questioner of Israel's occupation policy, continuous increase in settlements policy, endless-phony negotiations policy? And the attacks were seen solely in terms of traitor-Rosen and AIPAC crowd vs. qualified intelligence guy. Would it have had traction and succeeded? Those additional issues, at the very least, gave additional excuse to dump him I really think this one was slightly less black and white than Rosenberg and others (IPF, J-street, American Friends of Peace Now, etc.) who I always agree with otherwise are making it. Maybe we can get some you good folks from IPF into the White House. Please.
