Hard to imagine intellectuals as traitors?
Reader comment on item: Israeli Leftists Plead for Outside Pressure on Their Government
Submitted by Charles Martel (United States), Dec 27, 2007 at 13:23

"It is hard to imagine the intellectuals of any other state acting in like fashion?"
What West have you been living in for the last 40 years?
Treason/sedition/national suicide have been the first things I've seen from western intellectuals since at least 1968.
