and John Podhoretz at his Commentary Contentions blog
And searching around, I found this about Marty Peretz:-
Last month, 59 prominent American Jews sent Premier Menachem Begin an open letter that criticized Israel's policy of setting up new Jewish settlements in densely populated Arab areas of the occupied West Bank. "A policy which requires the expropriation of Arab land unrelated to Israel's security needs," the letter read, "and which presumes to occupy permanently a region populated by 750,-000 Palestinian Arabs, we find morally unacceptable, and perilous for the democratic character of the Jewish state." Among those who signed were Nobel Prizewinning Novelist Saul Bellow, Composer-Conductor Leonard Bernstein, and Jerome B. Wiesner, president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Principal author of the document was Martin Peretz, editor of the New Republic.
That was way back in July 1979. No wonder Peretz couldn't believe that Begin took on Biden. He didn't like Begin to begin with.
