		<description>Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a truly brave woman is in Sydney for the Writer&#039;s Week. Unlike Hanan Ashrawi who tellingly hides from exposing the abominable attitudes towards women and non-Muslims of the Hamas, Ali speaks out about both. 
 
 
One wonders if she will win the Sydney Peace Prize as Ashrawi did? Probably not, as I am not aware she is anti-Israel. </description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Nor does it take bravery to get into a debate on a blog BenZ.&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
 
Then why is Loewenstein so afraid of it, preferring instead to delete comments.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://rwdb.blogspot.com/2007/01/fearless-journalist-still-refuses-to.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://rwdb.blogspot.com/2007/01/fearless-journal...&lt;/a&gt; </description>

		<description>And one more thing - in an earlier comment, above, I pointed out Antony&#039;s potential relationship to Lewis Rassaby, and the possibility he is being disingenuous in his commentary.  
 
Once again, he refuses to respond. He&#039;s lucky you can fight all his battles for him. I feel like I&#039;ve been attacked with a rolled-up wet newspaper... 
 
Presumably this is what Rassaby meant when he claimed Loewenstein is &quot;brave enough to stand up for what he thinks&quot;. Sure... </description>

		<description>&lt;/blockquote&gt;However, I call Antony a Jew for Genocide and you call me a fanatic?&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
 
Phillips a distinguished journalist?  You mean to say you consider utterly incoherent conspiracy theories&lt;a href=&quot;http://antonyloewenstein.com/blog/2007/04/22/melianie-phillips-uncovers-massive-conspiracy-to-hide-saddams-wmd/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; like this one&lt;/a&gt; to be examples of distinguished journalism? 
 
The differences are obvious.  Phillips resides  in a land of makes believe , where the London of today is indistinguishable from the Weimarch.  That pretty much says it all, but it certainly explains your disconnect from reality. 
 
&lt;/blockquote&gt;What was it? 450 (plus fakes) out of 120 000 Jewish Australians? A hundred odd hits a day to a blog? &lt;/blockquote&gt; 
 
And yet you are here running around like some paranoid lemming, putting out fires and accusing Ant of advocating genocide and censoring people, and in the process, failing spectacularly.   
 
Keep it up.  People like you are invaluable allies to Ant&#8217;s cause. </description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;You again demonstrate your fanaticism; in this case by referring to Ant and any other Jewish individual as Jews for Genocide - taken straight from the islamophobic and deranged vocabulary of Melanie Phillips, who has become a traveling freak show in her own right.&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
Let me get this straight. You call Melanie Phillips, a distinguished journalist, a &quot;traveling [sic] freak show&quot; and &quot;islamophobic&quot; and that&#039;s fine. However, I call Antony a Jew for Genocide and you call me a fanatic? 
 
The only thing being demonstrated here is your total hypocricy. You can call people anything you want, yet if anyone dares pick on poor Antony, you&#039;ll be crying into your weet-bix. Grow up buttercup. 
 
&lt;blockquote&gt;The way I see it BenZ, you have a choice in the matter. Either Ant represents an insignificant minority,&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
Well of course he does. What was it? 450 (plus fakes) out of 120 000 Jewish Australians? A hundred odd hits a day to a blog? 
 
&lt;blockquote&gt;in which case you are wasting your time swatting at flies, or he doesn&#8217;t, which is why you are so incensed by the attention he is generating. Why are you so threatened?&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
Statistically speaking, I am not at risk of being attacked by lightning or bees. However, like most people, I have wasted time avoiding both. Don&#039;t equate time spent showing up Antony (and your) lies and distortion, with your own effectiveness. There&#039;s no correlation. 
 
As for the &quot;attention he is generating&quot;, well plenty of others are generating some attention to his intellectual dishonesty as well. </description>

		<description>BenZ, 
 
You again demonstrate your fanaticism; in this case by referring to Ant and any other Jewish individual as Jews for Genocide - taken straight from the islamophobic and deranged vocabulary of Melanie Phillips, who has become a traveling freak show in her own right.  Only a seriously disturbed mind would equate opposition to war, oppression and violence, with advocating genocide. 
 
As for Arabs killing Arabs, perhaps you might want to enlighten yourself  on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/troops-cross-into-gaza-with-israels-blessing/2007/05/18/1178995408880.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;current events&lt;/a&gt; assuming you are remotely up to date on what its taking place on the ground. 
 
Yes, Muslims have killed Muslims, and Jews have killed Jews (ie. The Ringworm Children).  It&#039;s human nature to exploit the suffering of others BenZ, not an Arab disease.  You want to talk about hundreds of thousands, when the fact remains that over 200 million people were killed last century in wars that had no Muslim religious involvement. 
 
In the 1990&#8217;s, the US saw to it that a million Iraqis died from impoverishment, based on a false premise.  They have subsequently added another 650,000    to that total. 
 
And do explain why the Australian Jewish News would indeed print a disproportionate number of dissenting views if indeed, as you believe, they are in the minority?  Given how prone you are to hyperbole, this is laughable, though your hypersensitivity to anything approaching criticism of Israel, it&#8217;s no surprise that you would over look the abundance of articles that maintain the status quo.  Any dissent after all, can only come from must come from Jews for Genocide right BenZ. 
 
The evidence of stifled debate is irrefutable.   Danby and others attempted to prevent Ant&#8217;s book from being published. You don&#8217;t get a more clear cut case of stifling debate than that, go give it up.
