WHY IS RACHEL TABACHNICK ATTACKING PHYLLIS CHESLER?

A very surprising case has come up, related to the Rifqa Bary case. A writer for ZEEK, an affiliate of the Forward, whose name is Rachel Tabachnick, attacked Phyllis Chesler for her defense of Rifqa Bary, and the item is hostile to Christian Zionists as well. Chesler has more to say about this over here.

This Tabachnick is not just being unfair by claiming Chesler has direct contact with Rifqa's defenders, when she felt it better to just cover the case from a distance, she is also endangering the life of a young girl. And she's also providing another poor example for leftist Jews by refusing to help someone in distress. Is that the kind of example the Forward wants to set?

Here's more from Robert Stacy McCain and The American Spectator. Nice to see some more major conservatives are taking notice of this case. Even now, I'm still astounded at how some right wing sources flatly refused to make any mention of Bary's problems, including some of the same ones who brought up other cases of victims of Islamic honor murders. Is it really that much easier to talk about someone who's dead than someone who's still alive?
