Come on, Glenn, man up: As others have suggested, have the honesty and courage to stand Coates' views up against someone who has deep knowledge of the long, complex history of the Israeli conflict. Various names have been suggested in previous comments. I would add Jonathan Conricus of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, located in DC. Or Brett Stevens of the NYT. The fact that, in the long year that has just ended, the ONLY voice you've given a platform to is the vehement critic of Israel, Norman Finklestein, tells me that perhaps you are not the honest fearless voice you always present yourself as. Now that you have given such credence to Coates' views, it is no longer sufficient to just have a friendly chat with John about the matter and call it a day. No. You've created this. You've broadcast your effusive praise of Coates' book. Now see it through.
