You do realise that your "evidence" is an op ed piece lifted from another website don't you? Do you even check your sources?
It doesn't take long to apologise.I'm not goin to entertain those replies to my posts due to time constraints.
It was written by MJ Rosenberg who is Jewish and was until very recently The director of policy at IPF, as well as holding various positions in the US Senate and USAID and more importantly an editor for AIPAC.
My apologies. I should have stated "An op ed peice by someone previously accused of anti-isreali bias that was first posted on an anti-conservative blog site." if it makes you feel any better.![]()
They can demand their rights without reference to statehood and without negotiations to achieve them. That means they punt on the question of one state, two states, or three states (don’t forget Gaza).* They demand their rights whether they are exercised within Israel or within their own country.* After all, basic human rights are guaranteed to all people, whether in their own state or as a minority in another country.These rights are specifically guaranteed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was ratified by the United Nations with the support of, among others, the United States and Israel.* (It was written by Eleanor Roosevelt, the US delegate).
The rights it guarantees (the right to vote, equality before the law, freedom of movement and resistance, peaceful assembly and association, the right to own property and not to be deprived of it, among others) are precisely the rights denied to the Palestinians of Gaza, West Bank, and East Jerusalem.
Why shouldn’t the Palestinians demand these rights, laying aside the question of a state with internationally recognized borders until the Israelis are ready to seriously discuss returning to the pre-’67 borders?
But would Israelis agree to granting Palestinians basic human rights? That is hard to say.* The far right has a strong racial animus to Arabs and would be reluctant to see any change in the status quo.
But that is not true of most Israelis.* Most Israelis are deeply troubled by the occupation but cannot imagine how it would be possible to evacuate hundreds of thousands of settlers from their West Bank homes. *They might be relieved if the Palestinians focused on rights rather than territories.
Still not accurate however.
His opinion has validity and should not be dismissed so lightly, regardless of Zoomee's other conspiratorial rhetoric.
Have a re-read of my post and you will find that what I have posted is 100% accurate. It is an op ed peice. Rosenberg has been accused of anti-Israeli bias and the article in question was first posted on an anti-conservative blog.
However as this thread has proven once again there is zero point in challanging zoomee on anything as he runs off as soon as anyone points out his inaccuracies.
The Article was first posted on Rosenberg's blog, which is liberal, critical of some right wing policies but it is not specifically anti conservative.
The accusations were unfounded and made by people who think all moderate liberal Jews are anti Israeli and that Israel should be a Zionist state and there should be no two state solution.
So no it's not very accurate at all, you would have pointed out the inaccuracies of the allegations and the liberal nature of Rosenberg's blog if that was the case.
You simply dismissed the article because zoomee posted it. The author of the article is someone who makes valid and salient points, I don't necessarily always agree with him, but he is not to be compared to or dismissed as the run of the mill anti Semite or anti Israeli.
The Al-J article links to the first place that article was posted, politicalcorrection.org which calls itself "Media Matters Action Network is a progressive research and information center dedicated to analyzing and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media"
Looks like an anti-conservative blog to me...
Still accusations...
Ah, so because I do not hold the same views of PoliticalCorrection.Org and do not dismiss the allegations as easily as you do (his support for Charles Freeman could be considered Anti-Isreal too) then I am inaccurate...![]()
To be honest the article itself was also a bit ********, but there was little point in arguing that as zoomee was never going to reply much like he didn't reply to the false allegations of Murdoch being a jew, all the MSM being pro-Israeli and all ther other anti-israeli ******** he laps up.
You need to separate being Israeli from being Jewish.
Israel has a right to exist and defend itself, however the Israeli Administration has no right to perpetrate mass punishment on the Arab people within it's assumed borders or to treat the Palestinian people the way it does, regardless of the terrorist acts perpetrated against them in their name.
We did not annex and isolate Eire during the troubles now did we.
