"Umberto Eco Opposes Boycotts of Israel"

[diadorim1234]

I dont really think the left gets it. Turkey is illegally occupying europeand land: northern cyprus, has etnically cleansed it off europeans, has moved 150.000 kolonists to the occupied part and has built an illegal seperation wall on the island. Considering the fact that all Turks in europe also hold turkish nationality, a rightwing boycot off turkey would mean that all turks in eurrope would be boycotted.

theres a very sane jewish man called mr finkelstein. i suggest everyone checks him out with a unbiased attitude like i did. he`s very interesting.

[KayKups]

Sounds like quite a guy. And to tink, I have this impression simply because he is sane.

[tinydancer1965]

Maybe there are people who are moral and to whom justice is important. He is one of them.

@tinydancer1965 in regards to earlier comments. you probably didnt know this but his family is also palastinian. they were all imprisioned by the israelis in a place called gaza and massacred. he is alone on this world. hes a swell guy

[tinydancer1965]

@pederman15 Yes.

Eco is no rightie so it will hard for the anti-Israel camp to demonize him.
