1) Using civilians as shields is Moral Barbarity

2) Directly targetting civilians ONLY to make political points is Moral Barbarity.

Consistently ignoring the above indeed is Moral Barbarity, Antony.

Douglas Giles is a recent casualty. He used to teach a class on world religions at Roosevelt University, Chicago, founded in memory of FDR and his liberal-inclined wife, Eleanor. Last year, Giles was ordered by his head of department, art historian Susan Weininger, not to allow students to ask questions about Palestine and Israel; in fact, nothing was to be mentioned in class, textbooks and examinations that could possibly open Judaism to criticism

Leaving aside his boss’s doubtful qualifications to set limits on a class of comparative religion – her speciality is early 20th-century Midwestern artists such as Tunis Ponsen (nor have I) – the point to grasp is that Professor Giles did not make inflammatory statements himself: he merely refused to limit debate among the young minds in front of him.

Israel’s version of Land for Peace:

Kill them all, Occupy their land, and Celebrate the peace.

It is almost exactly the words of an Israeli general I once heard years ago (in a radio doco)….replacing "their" with "our", of course.

So too, the notion that we are fighting to protect our freedoms is a complete sham. We destroy countries in order to save them, and protect our freedoms by giving them up.

Israel's version of Land for Peace:

Kill them all, Occupy their land, and Celebrate the peace.

Sounds more like the Israeli version of "The Final Solution."

Alan Dershowitz is showing the obvious signs of denrangement that comes from someone who's entire belief system is based on the myth of ones country beoing is all powerful and dominant and are then waking up one day to find it ain't so. Him and his fellow Zionazis are losing it big time, because they are deseprate to grab whatever it is they can claim as a victory before the ceafire deadline they have agreed to.

On August 6, the ABC reported,

"Let's vote the resolution and then there's going to be an obligation by Israel and Lebanon to obey the resolution" . . . Rice emphasized that if either Lebanon or Israel rejects the U.N. effort, "then we'll see who's for peace and who isn't."

This has forced Isrel's hand. If they ignore the ceasefire, they will be seen to be as the aggressors that they are, but they have to secure some sumbolic sign of voctory in the mean time, otherwise, the vaunted IDF will have been seen as defeatable.

Note also that he restricts this right to the possibility of genocide to Israel, and does not extend it to Lebanese or Palestinians (read: Arabs).

Well shit, right from the horses mouth. Begin of the Stern Gang – or was it the Irgun, who gives a fuck they were all terrorists. They fucked up the Arabs because they like it, nothing to do with hitting them "first", and nothing to do with their survival. Another scam.

From the link;

"He has urged the use of collective punishment such as the "automatic destruction" of a Palestinian village after each Palestinian attack. He has covered up Israel's use of torture on Palestinian detainees, and himself advocated the application of "excruciating" torture on suspected terrorists such as a "needle being shoved under the fingernails." He has aligned himself with the Israeli government against courageous Israeli pilots refusing the immorality of targeted assassinations. He has denounced nonviolent resisters to the Israeli occupation as "supporters of Palestinian terrorism." He has dismissed ethnic cleansing as a "fifth-rate issue" akin to "massive urban renewal." He has advised Israel's senior government officials that Israel is not bound by international law. He has now sanctioned the extermination of the Lebanese people."

The "Harvard Law Professor", trying to fulfill that obsessive dream of being a terrorist state – but "Legal". Sorry Douche Bag out you go. How about a bit of hot needle under your finger nails…come on don't be shy.. old bastard.
