Israel

* Re “Israel Needs Realism to Find Its Way in an Arab World,” Commentary, May 31: Edward Said conveniently ignores Israel’s realities. Said curiously makes no mention of Syria’s brutal occupation of Lebanon. And he speaks as if Israel has no right to self-defense. And if Israel’s supporters “have a stranglehold on U.S. media” as he states, how could his arrogant and offensive commentary have been published?
