The left should defend Platner from the NYT smear campaign. Not because Graham Platner is a great guy. But because the slandering of Israel critics will continue until the cost outweighs the benefit.
They botched this hit job, and we should point it out to inoculate Americans against future slanders against politicians, protestors, and even college kids.
