February 10, 2010 – Opinions are Easy when you don’t look up the facts

Last night, half asleep, while driving home from a reading, i thought i was dreaming when I saw a big sign that said Naomi Chazan Goldstone. I didn’t get to read the rest because by the time I opened my eyes we’d past the sign, but the demonization of Naomi Chazan seems to be everywhere.
I actually don’t know the exact facts – but even if Chazan’s donees did give information to the Goldstone Report, I doubt very much whether it was something that hadn’t been around in the papers before. As Bob Dylan said, “You don’t have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.” What kills me is that Goldstone didn’t get other facts right, like the ones that were available to anyone who reads the newspapers.
My in-laws say, you have to have a single person to demonize when your frustrations can’t find an outlet.
