re: #391 drcordell

Charles (and not you) said the policy was nothing new. Here is Charles’ statement:

My only difference with Krauthammer is that these myths are not unique to Barack Obama; the Bush administration said the same things about settlements, and so has every US president for the past 20 years.

Yet you dishonestly went on to claim that Charles had said the opposite, as follows:

The premise of … Charles commentary is that Obama is forging some sort of new, radical stance with Israel with regard to settlements. And I am pointing out that that no, this is not a new policy with regard to settlements.

Then, you later claimed that Charles had said that Obama’s position on the settlements was “a denial of reality”

If the settlement freeze was something being forced on Israel by the U.S. and international communities, both Krauthammer and Charles would have a strong point. But since this same policy is being pursued by mainstream Israeli political parties and supported by a majority of Israelis… I fail to see how anyone could describe it as “denial of reality.”

when that is of course not what Charles stated. Here is what Charles said:

But the fact is that even if the settlements were to vanish completely, the underlying problem of rejectionism would remain. There can never be any real progress toward peace until the US and the world overcomes this obsessive denial of reality.

So you not only lost the argument and lashed out like a stuck pig, but it is clear that your position was based on intentionally misquoting Charles’ position.
You are a real piece of work.
