Martin Kramer comments on the news here and here. Volokh's David Bernstein comments here.
I'm glad to see the incessant comparisons of Jews to Nazis that are the stock in trade of people like Massad are in themselves becoming part of the controversy and something that puts the speaker beyond the pale in polite society.
The problem is that The New York Post and Daily News are down-market papers. Not very much respected, they're seen as right-wing rags. I would have felt better if the New York Times has said something, but I'm sure it will remain silent.
The NYT most probably supports Massad and so would not say anything.
Obviously the people who who are sustaining the NYT are not exactly those who value integrity with facts and context in the news they read.
