Even a cursory search of spending 5 minutes on their academic careers would have given you a better understanding of who the better scholar is.

Of course Benny Morris takes a more balanced view. He’s trying hard to make up for the imbalance.

Maybe neutral is a better word, Benny Morris is certainly much less of an activist than someone like Norman Finkelstein.
