But the statement it replaced - "Anthony Lewis is also, though readers of his former column in the Times on Israeli-Palestinian issues might find this hard to believe, a prominent Jewish-American." - didn't bother you? [[User:Shpxurnq|Shpxurnq]] 04:21, 27 December 2006 (UTC)Vexorg

Part of the article reads "Anthony Lewis is also a prominent Jewish-American, a fact evidently troublesome to those who regard his views on Israeli-Palestinian issues as heretical."  Having that statement in an article that doesn't mention Lewis' views on Israeli-Palestinian issues seems evidently troublesome to me, and I am removing it.[[User:Inappropriatecontent|Inappropriatecontent]] 22:25, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

== NY Times opinion under 'quotes' ==

am i the only one that finds this paragraph under 'Quotes' a little confusing and sounding somewhat like someone ELSES opinion mixed with an actual quote?

From the op-ed page of the New York Times:

The whole bloodbath debate unreal. What future could possibly be more terrible than the reality of what is happening to Cambodia now? As the death marches out of Phnom Penh proceeded, Lewis went on making excuses for the Khmer Rouge. He mused that it was ``the only way to start on their vision of a new society. Americans who objected were guilty of ``cultural arrogance, an imperial assumption, that . . . our way of life would be better.

== About the importance rating ==

Actually all WikiProjects who gave importance ratings all underestimated the importance, since it is Anthony Lewis that created legal journalism in America, and his book ''[[Freedom for the Thought that We Hate]]'' sparked much discussion (his view that [[hate speech]] should not be prohibited by law generated controversies, e.g. [[Jeremy Waldron]] argued that legislators should ban all hate speech).--[[User:RekishiEJ|RekishiEJ]] ([[User talk:RekishiEJ|talk]]) 09:41, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
