The link is not to the essay mentioned.  However, the headline made me laugh.  I listen to NPR daily and have for many, many years.  NPR NEVER says anything good about Israel.  Their segments are about Arabs within and without Israel--usually about put-upon Palestinians.  I think Lendman's own bias doesn't allow him to see reality.

 Those jew loving liberals what is the matter with them?

As my favorite rapper Immortal Technique says The jews are all evil and Palestine is awesome.
