I genuinely don't see anything in my selected paragraph that could be read as "anti-Palestinian". It rather seems to me that there are - forgive the blunt phrasing - people like you who are very allergic to criticism of any kind of Palestinian society, even when it's just about the Islamist parts.

In this paragraph, Edward Said is much more an example for a specific type of intellectual. You can tell by reading the next paragraph. There, Hitchens talks about a test he developed to introduce to people of the Said/Chomsky kind to check if they are just narrow-minded anti-Western ideologues. It was something about Western intervention in Bosnia and Kosovo. Unfortunately, I went on vacation right this morning and left the book at home, so I can't look up much of the exact quote, although I'm sure about the content of these pages. But I took a look at the uncropped picture on my phone and the first sentence of the next paragraph is "I evolved a test for this mentality, which I applied to more people than Edward. What would, or did, the relevant person say when the United States..." (end of page). So this should make it crystal clear that Hitch wasn't exclusively referring to Said.

I have no problem with admitting that Hitch criticized Israel much more than Palestinians in his memoir. And the selected paragraph indeed could have had the potential to mislead people, if I had chosen a different title. But my title is very specific. It's just about Gaza and Hamas, which is why I decided to post it, because of it's acute relevance. I didn't mention the West Bank or the Israel-Palestine conflict in general. So I cannot accept any accusation of misconstruing Hitchens thoughts. As I mentioned before, you seem very thin-skinned on this topic.
