In Defense of Gibson

From Andrew Sullivan:

In Defense of Gibson: "This piece of anti-Semitic drivel appears in today's Daily Telegraph of London..."

The interesting part of this piece is, IMHO, the comments at the end. They're split relatively evenly between people that completely agree with the article and people that find the article repugnant.

Personally, I find it disgusting. This comment on the page sums up my opinion:

So many responses sping to mind. However the bottom line is that very rarely have I read an article that so elequently identifies the author's love of Jew/Israel bashing without ever once personally taking responsibility for his beliefs (unlike Mel Gibson, who has expressed his beliefs many times before, when absolutely sober and lucid).

Instead O'Hagan shrouds himself in the assertion that 'There are many hundreds of millions in the world who believe that the Jewish state is a force of incredible arrogance and self-interest'. One need not be a mind-reader to see that this is O'Hagan's exact personal thinking - he just doesn't have the honesty to say it.
