My guess is that Zogby, CAIR and their acolytes will claim that this analysis was wrenched out of context, is mistranslated, and that the true crime is the one that the Zionists are committing on the poor Palestinians. They will also argue, a little later, that they have no editorial control over a tiny newspaper in Paterson, NJ. We will also be reminded that the First Amendment protects not only mainstream arguments, but hate speech.
BTW - did anybody notice the Human Rights Watch report issued last week on the leadership of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the PLO? Oddly enough, the only media outlet of which I am aware that gave it significant airplay was NPR.
