Worry About the West -- Not Israel
By Victor Davis Hanson
The reactions and media coverage coming out of the West regarding this latest war in the Middle East are as bewildering as they are instructive.
Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., for example, recently said, "I don't take sides for or against Hezbollah or for or against Israel."

As it happens, Dingell was quoted out of context by PowerLine, Rush Limbaugh and others in a way that made him sound more pro-Hezbollah than he is. Amazingly enough, Victor Davis Hanson has managed to quote selectively from a lengthier statement Dingell made to address the earlier smear to again smear Dingell as being more pro-Hezbollah than he is. Bewildering? Hardly. Instructive? Yes, but not in the way he meant. What a hack.
