2. NY Times has covered it sporadically... so YES, I've heard of it.

"Sporadically" is about as much as they can do in this geographic media market.... w/o going out of business, that is.

Echoes of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank abound. Another reason why it's avoided (i.e. as a polite topic of political conversation) like the plague.

No one wants to think of historical victims as potential perpetrators.

(Who was it said: "We become what we hate."?)

Bad theater ( playing against "type&quot as well as short-sighted politics.

Let's just say that rational discussion of this topic has so far eluded us.

In THIS region, anyway.
