that counts in this matter. Try reading the Boston Globe some time. Its news coverage of Israel sounds like it`s taken verbatim from IDF spokesmen. Its opinions are a parade of "scholars" from pro-Israel think tanks, the local Israeli consul and the likes of Alan Dershowitz. The Globe also employs a full time Israel advocate - "Islamo-fascism" basher (Jeff Jacoby) on its opinion page. The letters to the editor are a tribute to the organizing power of pro-Israel groups.
While pro Israeli news and opinion a daily staple, any mild suggestion of criticism has to be balanced by blatantly pro-Israel letters and opinions.
