James Taranto takes a shot at Eric Alterman:

You can say this about the Arab News: You never know what you're going to find there. Sometimes it publishes unexpectedly good, insightful journalism, and then sometimes it peddles the worst anti-Semitic garbage. In the latter category is an essay called "Protocols of the Elders of Neocons"--a reference to the notorious anti-Semitic forgery "Protocols of the Elders of Zion"--by Hussein Shobokshi. Here's a sample:

Many of these same Jews joined Rumsfeld and Cheney in underselling the difficulty of the war, in what may have been a ruse designed to embroil America in a broad military conflagration that would help smite Israel's enemies. Did Perle, for instance, genuinely believe "support for Saddam, including within his military organization, will collapse at the first whiff of gunpowder"? Is Wolfowitz really so ignorant of history as to believe the Iraqis would welcome [Americans] as "their hoped-for liberators"?

Oh wait, sorry, that's not Shobokshi, it's Eric Alterman in The Nation. Here's Shobokshi:

While the neocons who have tried to legitimize and sugarcoat all their wicked and twisted policies by false accusations and pollgerized [sic] evidence, their true intentions remain the protection of Israel. Israel is the core problem of the main conflict in the Middle East. Any unjust and subjective solution to that issue will keep the Middle East a boiling pot with Sharon as its keeper, which is simply a joy to the neocons!

Nice.
