Yes, this interview is causing quite a stir. Wasn't that the idea? When you combine the sensationalist style of Ari Shavit with the pyrotechnics of Benny Morris, what do you expect?
Forgive my deep skepticism as to the earthshaking nature of the "revelations" here. Neither Morris' massacre mantra nor his relatively recent awakening to the annihilatory intentions of the Arabs vis-a-vis Israel are news. Truly, we've heard all of this before.
Judith Weiss seems to be more or less in agreement. Tom Paine, Roger L. Simon, Solomon and Allison, among others, see things differently.
Late Update: Dave at Israelly Cool has posted an excerpt from (and a link to) a two-year old interview with Morris in which he said virtually the same things.
