Altermendacity

In addition to lending his good name to the Alterman Award for Reflexive Capitulation and Pointless Appeasement, Eric "Oh That Liberal Media" Alterman could just as easily franchise his brand to several other awards. For example, we could have the Alterman Award for Spinning a News Item 180 Degrees in the Wrong Direction From the Altercation, Nov. 17, 2003

And how nice that right-wing American Jews are willing to fight for their ideology right down to the death of the last Israelis. Imagine, denouncing a peace plan for a country in which you do not even live…. Kind of gives chutzpah a bad name.

In fact, if you follow the link, you will see that the opposition is not to a peace plan as such, but to foreign officials who are trying to undermine Israeli democracy by supporting a peace plan that has little support among the Israeli public and is being promoted by the party that lost the last election.

Indeed, we could also offer the Alterman Award for Imperialistic Interference in the Internal Affairs of Sovereign Democracies
