...many Israelis, the French visit was a welcome, if too brief, diversion from the continuing tensions in the region. Earlier in the week, Israel had abruptly dashed hopes for an expected visit to Israel this month by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

With seven vivid examples of "mavericks who would not be silenced," the author whimpers through his point by implicit example. Unfortunately, the examples Mitchell chooses are banal and consequently they ring hollow. For example...
