Has anyone seen anything else on this? The article referenced by the link
regards a forthcoming report by someone named Justus Weiner of the Jerusalem
Center for Public Affairs (http://www.jcpa.org). Apparently Weiner claims to
have shown that Said has falsified his own family history, their claim to a home
in Jerusalem, and the circumstances surrounding their leaving it. Has anyone
seen anything else about this? I find it a little hard to believe; my
impression of Said has always been that he is honest and forthright. Any other
leads?
