YIISA Alan Dershowitz lecture (why focus on Israel)

[Kurtlane]

Because if diplomats were to solve a problem, they'd have their 15 minutes of fame, or a bit more. But if the problem is irresolvable, diplomats can keep earning their bread and butter. This problem is the most irresolvable one, and therefore guarantees secure income.

And also because so many dictators can divert the attention of their people from themselves and their corruption, mismanagement, etc. by directing their anger against Jews.

And because oil is money, and money talks.

O my God! He is so right!

[petersz98]

Israel is the Fourth Reich!

That's why everybody is obsessed with Israel.

Time to throw this racist state into the trash can of colonial history alongside the White Supremicist regime of South Africa.

[oldjoe5]

This Zionist cares not a whit about the victims of genocide. He merely uses them as a strategy to deflect criticism of Israel's horrific human rights record. And for Dersh to accuse others of being obsessed with Israel? How would he characterize his behavior?

[kravitshalom]

Excellent point! That's why your book and defense of it against Finkelstein shows that you are a hypocrite!

[mayan80]

Exactly right.

[muetter]

dersh at the top of his game.

"Operation Menu" was the secret bombing of Cambodia by Kissinger on the orders of Nixon that subsequently destroyed Cambodia's capacity to defend itself against the Khmer Rouge.

[kissfan7]

What does that have to do with Dershowitz's point? Assuming it is true, if the Cambodian had gotten the attention that the Arab-Israeli conflict got the death toll would've been far less, bombing or no bombing.
