[...] Following my article in last week’s Canberra Times, I’m informed by reliable sources at the paper that Jewish academic Dvir Abramovich, demanded a right of reply because I had “unfairly libeled Israelis as extremists.” Yesterday his piece was published and it’s a masterful piece of saying nothing in 800 words. Empty words and slogans, two equal sides blah blah blah. The word “occupation” is entirely absent: After the conflict in Gaza, the prospects of peace between Israelis and Palestinians look grim. But as AbrahamLincoln once said, ‘‘The probability that we may fall in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.’’ [...]

Firstly, Yosi, the U.N have a solution regarding peace between Israel and Palestine. Hamas have agreed to the 2-stage plan outlined by the U.N. It is Israel backed by the United States that have not agreed. Besides, most facts point towards Israel show-boating prospects of peace in the region, only to break cease-fire agreements when Hamas appears ready to talk.
It is the Terrorism of an incarcerated and sanctioned Palestine to launch such a "vicious" peace offensive agreeing to the solution.
It is the Terrorism of Israel to butcher thousands of civilian Palestinians in response.
Secondly, history has shown nothing is more threatening to Israel than Arab unity in the region, traditionally politics in Israel see it lowering their "deterence capacity." Which is Israels ability to instill fear in the Palestinian people, so that terrorism is less likely to occur. Which if you look it up, is the meaning of terrorism, but i guess you mean Arab or Muslim terrorism.
In the case of the legality of Israels settlements and occupation, you know and i know that Israel is in violation of international law. i suspect that this principle fact is what you seek to hide when you respond with the intelligence of an 8 year old.
The game is up, within the next few years, generations of youth who will not put up with the lies coming from Israel are destined to change the world stage. It is such a shame for Israels sake that influence and power mean so much to them all that morality has taken a back seat.
Signing off….

Who are these Australian jews who justify any crime by Israel by claiming Israel are the victims?

Hamas was started by Israel to counter Fatah, now Hamas are the bad guys and Fatah the compliant and corrupt criminals collaborating with Israel and her crimes.

Given that Israel refuses to renounce violence, recognise Palestine's right to exist and accept existing agreements, by exactly the same 'logic' as the cretinous Yosi Tal, Israel demands to be boycotted.

And by the way, Yosi, Hamas has recognised Israel's right to exist, at the green line that is; it also honoured the Gaza ceasefire.

''All of Israel’s Arab citizens have absolutely equal rights, while West Bank and Gaza Palestinians are restrained only to the extent required by the security problems they have caused.'

And the earth is flat Yosi.
