Just in time for the AIPAC conference and Netanyahu's visit to Barack Obama, the New York Times today features a full page ad from neoconservatives saying that liberals must support Israel. The ad attacks two Democratic Party-linked thinktanks, the Center for American Progress and Media Matters, for criticism of Israel. It names M.J. Rosenberg of Media Matters and says he is a bigot. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The ad has a scare image of a wolf, and features quotes from Alan Dershowitz and Spencer Ackerman (inaccurately characterizing the use of the term "Israel Firster"). It asks people to call the foundations that fund the two thinktanks-- notably the Pritzker foundation. The Pritzker family has supported Barack Obama.
