Incredible how Mr. Dershowitz always tries to hijack the conversation.

Argument: "Plagiarism"

Defence: Ad hominom attack.

Argument: Factual error

Defence: Typo

Argument: Quoting UN and Amnest International

Defence: Extremist, I'm gonna quote the IDF instead.

Argument: Misquoting George Orwell's Newspeak.

Defence: Changed the subject.

Incredible work Mr Finkelstein. It takes courage to do what you do.

Mr Dershowitz couldn't spell the word debate ...oh..yes..lets..see..a..n..t­..i...s..e..m..i..t..e; its seems to be his only defence to the idea of debate

A zionazi is not a Jew. A zionazi is someone who uses Jews to shield himself while he plunders the world. He endangers everyone, especially Jews.

When you stand up for the Palestinians, the zionazis get mad. They hurt you where they think it will hurt you the most -- your reputation. So they have attacked Norman's reputation.

To a zionazi, image is everything. They will lie, cheat, steal, even kill to build up their egos.

They will even provoke their victims into attacking them, to look strong.

Dershowitz is a overrated scholar and I think he did a good job discrediting himself.

@fuzzbuzz239 Of course. I'm taking the piss. Both sides have valid points. I just find it funny how the least criticism against a Jew or Israel somehow one is labled an "antisemite".

[fuzzbuzz239]

@wovokanarchy I'm going to assume you're joking about everything you said here. It's depressing otherwise.

[wovokanarchy]

@fuzzbuzz239 Have you never heard of an self-loathing Jew before? hint hint.....

[fuzzbuzz239]

@wovokanarchy You're right. Pointing out that someone is a sleazy debater means I hate Jews. Even if the person he's debating with is Jewish.

[wovokanarchy]

@fuzzbuzz239 Not at all. I am not and I am not Jewish. But I do know what antisemitism is when I see it or read it. Why is it you fail to do so?

[fuzzbuzz239]

@wovokanarchy you must be related to Mr. Dershowitz

[wovokanarchy]

@fuzzbuzz239 You must be an antisemite.
