Well, the factually (and horizontally) challenged Hari has responded by accusing critics of launching a smear campaign against him to make him look like an anti-Jewish bigot (hat tip: Honest Reporting). As Melanie Phillips writes:

But the most remarkable and revealing comment of all by Hari is this:

Alan Dershowitz and Melanie Phillips are two of the most prominent figures sent in to attack anyone who disagrees with the Israeli right.

‘Sent in’, eh? By whom, exactly? By the world-wide Jewish/Zionist/Likudnik conspiracy, of course. Yup, it’s those Protocols again. Whoops, what a giveaway. Case proved, I think.

Melanie also notes that Hari’s “comeback” mysteriously vanished, but is accessible here thanks to the wonders of Google cache.

It seems Hari is digging so deep, he must be trying to create a new underground sewerage system for the palestinians.
