Vittorio Arrigoni, terror tourist and International Solidarity Movement member, sought radical causes that would give his life meaning, and ended up befriending the extremist terrorists of Hamas.

One might hope that Richard Goldstone's retraction of charges his report leveled against Israel would cause the report's advocates to reconsider their position. But Human Rights Watch Executive Director Kenneth Roth responds by launching more accusations at Israel. 
A Baltimore Sun opinion column by Towson University Prof. Kimberly Katz is all polemics, no academics. And erroneous polemics at that, the kind that makes the term "Middle East studies" as reflected in her commentary an oxymoron.
