Abbagav (my hat’s off for this line, bravo!):
Better Israel should submit to the missiles and rockets of enemies Mr. Cohen acknowledges to be fetid, anti-Semitic zealots whose guiding principle is a hatred of Israel. But at least we’ll get positive PR for our funerals, and Mr. Cohen won’t be embarrassed about his last name at swanky cocktail parties anymore.
I just wanted to put this up before I went to bed tonight, because I hate this shit. It never ends, and I’m used to hearing it from DU and Indy habitues, but a WaPo pundit reciting it is just a bit too much. I’ll add links to some of the historical stuff tomorrow. I wrote this off the top of my head and I know enough history to know I got the broad outline right and the approximate dates.
No doubt Mr. Co-hen, and his editors would like to hear from you. You can also contact them here.
Please do give him my warmest regards in your closely-reasoned, brief, and cool-headed discussion of what’s what.
Okay,now I’m going to get lazy. Soccer Dad already did a great roundup. Go there.
Giggling while typing is its own reward, but thanks for hat ritual anyway.

Richard Cohen says Israel is an honest mistake……
…he even quotes Tony Judt. Able reaction and round-up at Yourish, and Soccer Dad. Worthwhile smack-downs at Kesher Talk and Captain’s Quarters. Much more using the Washington Post’s own Technorati feature…….

Actually, I have firsthand knowledge that Richard Cohen is a mistake. His parents never meant to do what they did.
