Bernstein on Alterman

I first blogged on Eric Alterman's obscene suggestion that British Muslims were justified in boycotting Holocaust memorials because of the Israel/Palestine dispute here, in the context of the trivialization of genocide. Essentially, Alterman argues that because the Holocaust contributed to the creation of Israel (which Arabs dislike), they are justified in ignoring the suffering in perhaps the greatest human rights atrocity of the 20th century. Now he's brought it up again, but this time I'm not even going to try and top David Bernstein's takedown of it.
