This thread discussing the dying2live pro-suicide-bomber ad campaign surprised me. I guess it shouldn't have. Many people in the US and Europe believe that the Palestinians are "just like them", and find suggestions that the Pals have very basic cultural differences to be offensive.

It seems that Prof. Tony Judt thinks along those lines also .... and it seems that he is enough of a Europhile that dismissing Israeli leftists with Christ-killer rhetoric just comes naturally to him.
