I have read Kate Spillar's response but frankly, find it disingenuous. To suggest that accepting this ad would imply the magazine's preference of a political party is ludicrous. I fear that Ms. Magazine has itself made a political alignment with the Palestinian cause, choosing to side against Israel amid the current nattering of specious accusations of "colonialism" and "territorial-invasion". Their rejection of this ad is only more evidence of the need to run such information. An objective look at the disparity in women's rights between Israel and its Moslem neighbors ought to prompt an examination of the editorial staff's objectivity and fairness.
