No matter what Hamas says and what photos from Gaza show, you will continue to pretend that these are peaceful rallies for human rights instead of the often violent protests promoting the elimination of Israel and the Jewish presence.....
...a lot of things you ignore, like BDS being deeply infused with anti-semitism, Gaza rockets being war crimes, and Hamas is an illegitimate military/government.The UN says...
Because it contradicts what Israeli, Palestinian, and non-aligned historians have said.

You seem to ignore the persecution that Arabs Jews faced as blowback to Israel's creation. Israel wanted more Jews to come but the Arab world actively participated in forcing their Jews out. To recognise one without the other is pure zealotry.One of my colleagues's father ....
The photos show that Israel injured 66 people on last Friday, about average for the last year and a bit.No matter what Hamas says and what photos from Gaza show, you will continue to pretend that these are peaceful rallies for human rights
We know, you're against violent resistance to an illegal occupation, you're against peaceful protests, you're against the use of international law and you're definitely against the peaceful use of boycotts....a lot of things you ignore, like BDS being deeply infused with anti-semitism,
Yes, as was the attack on the USS Liberty.The Lavon Affair was a real thing
You seem to ignore the 5 million Palestinian refugees Israel ethnically cleansed and refuses to readmit while the Law of Return guarantees anyone with any claim of 'Jewishness' to be given free passage and citizenship.You seem to ignore the persecution that Arabs Jews faced as blowback to Israel's creation. Israel wanted more Jews to come but the Arab world actively participated in forcing their Jews out. To recognise one without the other is pure zealotry.
Wilbur....thanks for posting about this book and providing a link. Your appreciation for diverse and enlightening viewpoints are welcome as is your recognition of the value of primary sources.

Sad that you only see the world in extremes. Most rational people would see the flaws with Israel while still seeing the flaws in the Arab world and Palestinian leadership. For example, you seem as blind to Arab terrorism against Jews in Mandate Palestine and are willing to pretend that one event shows that it all was 'false flag'.
p.s. Chomsky is a linguist and a political activist, not a historian. The fact that he is of Jewish descent only matters to people who see the world in racist absolutes.
I don't see the world in extremes. But it is you who denies that the Zionists never did anything wrong, which puts you in the extremes camp. Rokach's book is directly based on the diaries of Moshe Sharett, the SECOND PRIME-MINISTER OF ISRAEL. It is not rumor nor innuendo but the real thing. Her book was published in English when Sharett's diaries were in Hebrew only by court order, and not talked about in Israel because they were embarrassing to the cause, and contradicted the narrative that Zionists were so much better than anybody else.Because it contradicts what Israeli, Palestinian, and non-aligned historians have said.

You're welcome.Wilbur....thanks for posting about this book and providing a link. Your appreciation for diverse and enlightening viewpoints are welcome as is your recognition of the value of primary sources. It’s how we move forward.
On the other hand, dismissing primary sources because they are uncomfortable or not viewed as mainstream is the work of a mediocre mind that’s far too invested in a particular status quo.
And they show molotovs being thrown at Israeli troops defending their border. Sadly you think that firebombs are just a display of human rights and get upset that Israel used non-lethal force against them.The photos show that Israel injured 66 people on last Friday, ....
Damn right I am. Why do you keep acting like attacks on random civilians are a valid response to a political disagreement? Is it because you are okay with attacks on Jews or because you think Arabs are incapable of moral thought?We know, you're against violent resistance to an illegal occupation
So lets see, Arab terrorism long predated Jewish terrorism. Arab states used Israel's existence as an excuse to persecute Jews born in their countries, but you only want to talk about Israel. Hmm.You seem to ignore...
The fact that you claim that makes it clear you live in extremes.I don't see the world in extremes. But it is you who denies that the Zionists never did anything wrong,...
Gaza is not a recognized border of any country.And they show molotovs being thrown at Israeli troops defending their border.
That's only because you reject the pre-1967 lines in favour of eliminating Israel. Sorry but the UN disagrees with you and sees the '67 armistace line between Gaza and Israel as the defacto border.Gaza is not a recognized border of any country....
As usual you defend Israel firing missiles into Gaza for political assassinations and then claim any similar actions by Palestinians not not expected through Israeli aggressions.p.s. Israel knocked off a terrorist leader and active combatant and Islamic Jihad responds by launching at least 360 war crime rockets. I'm sure you tell me that those terror rockets are justified though.
Pretty fucked up that you complain about Israel killing the guy in charge of rocket terrorism and don't take any issue with PIJ actually committing that terrorism. Just another case where you completely ignore the UN and all those rights groups you pretend to back simply to push your hate filled agenda.As usual you defend Israel firing missiles into Gaza for political assassinations and then claim any similar actions by Palestinians not not expected through Israeli aggressions.
You're claiming that Israel is justified in assassinations but not Palestinians who you deny have a right to self defense?
Typical racist colonial crap, basketcase.
The guy 'accused' of rocket terrorism.Pretty fucked up that you complain about Israel killing the guy in charge of rocket terrorism and don't take any issue with PIJ actually committing that terrorism.

And no, firing unguided rockets at cities is NOT SELF DEFENSE.
I agree, the one state solution is the only practical one now.A brief interruption of the circle-jerk I knew I was starting.
Does anyone really believe that the Palestinians have the leadership to negotiate a peaceful two state solution.
Does anyone really believe that the Israeli government is going to give up the West Bank and East Jerusalem for the creation of a Palestinian state?
For me, the clear answer is no. With that the only other option is a one state solution or the current occupation and terror cycle. Frankly I think the one state solution is less bad than the current state.
OK, resume your well worn circle jerk talking points.
To bad instead of arresting him, Hamas routinely featured the guy at rallies.The guy 'accused' of rocket terrorism.....
I think Abbas realizes it is the end goal but after the PLO and Fatah spent decades promising to destroy Israel, he knows he doesn't have a political mandate to do so (or for that matter a mandate to stay in office). Hamas on the other hand is quite clear they will not stop until they control an Islamic Palestinian state in the place of IsraelA brief interruption of the circle-jerk I knew I was starting.
Does anyone really believe that the Palestinians have the leadership to negotiate a peaceful two state solution.
Netanyahu, absolutely not. More center/left parties will as long as they have something to assure their security. It was only a decade ago that a former Likud PM offered the West Bank, a shared Jerusalem, and a Gaza/West Bank connection.Does anyone really believe that the Israeli government is going to give up the West Bank and East Jerusalem for the creation of a Palestinian state?
The one that your heroes in Hamas, the Palestinian people, and the Israeli people hate? So much for you caring about democracy or human rights.I agree, the one state solution is the only practical one now.....
