I probably agree with a lot of what Debbie Schlussel has said about the mad dance we and other pro- and anti-Israel publications have been engaged in over the past couple of weeks. But I’m not inclined to trash Scarlett with quite that level of zeal. First of all, because she so cute, and blonde, and Jewish on the right side. I mean, come on.
I also wonder, in a frightened kind of way, if this is the way I come across to some readers when I’m on a tear. I know how, when you’re in the middle of a well chiseled attack on somebody, you grab for assets and you don’t worry about collateral damage. But then I would hope that a second, more detached read helps cut down on those harsh extras.
From personal experience, zeal only feels good for a little while, and then you come down and must get some new zeal, at an ever increasing cost…
