Dersh may be a lefty on most things, but on Israel he’s right on!............
Dershowitz is a shameless self-promoter that would drop his pants in Times Square if it could get him on the news.
Oh barf.
Melanie Phillips is a civilized voice of reason. Dershowitz is simply a jerk.
“First, Dershowitz argues that he, like Israeli intellectuals Amos Oz, Aharon Barak, and others, has been critical of Israel’s settler policies. He feels that expansion of the settlements will make it harder to implement the two-state solution.”
Me: Whenever I hear the word “intellectuals,” the first thought that jumps into my head is “UH OH.” Yet another elitist snob who thinks they know better than me what’s “good” for me. I don’t care where they come from or what their name is, intellectuals THINK on a level that seems to never comprehend reality. It is usually wrong because nothing ever turns out the way they THINK it will, and in the meantime, the damage that it causes is almost beyond repair.
Even though ALL the evidence points to the fact that the palestinians want mothing less than Israel’s final demise, these “intellectuals” insist that there is some mythical solution though we haven’t found it yet.
Every inch of land Israel has given up has been turned into a war zone for Hizbullah, Hamas, or Fatah, Every “peace deal” is the last one...until the next one. No matter how much they “get” it is never enough. Ever.
“Later, however, he repudiates Rahm Emanuel’s “disturbing linkage” between Jewish settlements and tackling the Iranian nuke program. He concludes ‘you can be a strong supporter of Israel and yet oppose the settlements and favor a two-state solution.’”
Me: No. No you can NOT. Not if you care at all about Israel’s survival. The palestinians themselves have taken what Israel has given and made their OWN two state solution and went to war with each other. Let them kill each other. If any of them are left, ship them to Saudi Arabia.
Not one inch. Not one more inch.
