From Philip Weiss:
The New Republic seems to depend on former IDF soldiers for more of its Israel coverage than just about anyone else. Benny Morris, Jeffrey Goldberg. And here is Michael Oren, today, on the ground in Gaza, fresh from the thinktank, spitting out an eyeball to tell us how it feels to be in close combat with Islamists (no I didn’t read the thing; I’m visualizing).
Also, see this item on Oren’s recent Los Angelese Times op-ed, which fails to note that he’s an Israeli reservist.
