In his posting from Monday, Smear Intifada, Martin Kramer describes a scurrilous attack on his left flank by many of the usual suspects, beginning with Ali Abunimah of Electronic Intifada, and supported by MJ Rosenberg, and Juan Cole to name two. It looks like Kramer is attracting all the right opponents.
Kramer is...wait for it...being accused of advocating "genocide" in his Herzliya Conference speech. I kid you not. Cue Greg Gutfeld's standard tongue-in-cheek Gregalogue conclusion, "And if you disagree with me, you must be a racist." I believe falsely accusing someone of advocating genocide must be the International Relations (Foreign Affairs?) version of calling someone a racist in other contexts. Of course, there are people in Middle East openly advocating genocide, it's just that Martin Kramer isn't one of them. (In Abunimah's case the accusation is pure projection. Someone should inform he and his supporters that the "one-state solution" actually does fit the legal definition of advocating for genocide.)
