Oh, Professor Dershowitz? You sure you want to keep open your bet?

This New York Times article summarizes a report from a prominent Jewish-oriented organization that declares nearly any reasonably challenging criticism of Israel equates to "anti-Semitism."

The organization, the American Jewish Committee, has just released a report entitled "Progressive Jewish Thought and the New Anti-Semitism." With a title like that, no wonder the NY Times writer (herself Jewish) described the AJC as "conservative." Really, Rush Limbaugh couldn't have come up with a better title for the report.

Anyway, here is the web site for the AJC where you can download the report.

But, let us now recall Professor Dershowitz's $15,000 bet (see here and here), which the good professor reiterated just last week. Bad timing for him, eh?

I read the AJC report last weekend and I must say it's pretty awful. It's been a bad week for idiots who made high-profile bets several years ago (i.e. Dershowitz and Jonah Goldberg)
