Mr. Pipes,

I really loved this piece. It expresses the semantics behind the language that the world has accepted as the politically correct expression of truth. It shows this language to be truth's opposite and how it actually is often an aggressive statement. From the arabs I expect this but so much of the worlds' media, virtually all of it, and Bush too apparently completely buy into its use. That is what is truly disheartening about it. You expose it so perfectly here!

Why don't others in the media ever seem to do the same? Surely many realize these terms are nothing more than propaganda for the "Palestinian cause". Are Jews still so hated around the world that no rational voice in the mainstream media cares to fight this in the open?
