Burbank - I'd rather pay his opinions respect over say someone off NPR....or a sports athlete...or movie star. Even when the guy is dead wrong on some issues, his opinions should be treated with some respect or credibility because of his life experiences (and after all he's based much of his career around such experiences)... not some "ooooh he's siding with the right" cheapness...or an article coopting his stance for shock value.

He said he was optimistic over prospects for peace between Israel and the Palestinians after the appointment of Mahmud Abbas, a moderate known as Abu Mazen, as Palestinian prime minister.
Now of course, there's no actual quote from him saying this here. I mean, golly gee whiz, I can't see why a Holocaust survivor wouldn't be optimistic by the appointment of a pogrom revitionist to the PA. That's progress!
