Jonah Goldberg on Palestinian Violence on National Review Online

Jonah Goldberg on Palestinian Violence on National Review Online: "the Hamas landslide clarifies another issue. In 1996, Daniel Jonah Goldhagen wrote a hugely controversial book, Hitler's Willing Executioners. The thesis was straightforward: The German people were in on the Holocaust; German culture and history harbored and nurtured an 'exterminationist' version of anti-Semitism that simply awaited ignition from Nazism's torch."

In closing, "Recognizing this fact doesn't automatically mean we should treat the Palestinians like cartoon villains who can never change. That's as foolish as assuming they didn't know what they were getting when they cast a ballot for Mrs. Farahat."

Jonah Goldberg always writes a convincing piece, interesting, certainly food for thought.
