Dershowits's behavior is an example of Israel; pushy, aggresive, unwilling to listen, believes all Arabs are terrosits. My God, I live in the Middle East, I know these people, they are not terrorists! I would never take a class having Allan as my Professor, you obviously will only get his point of view. Isnt a professors job to teach you, not preach you? He is supposed to try and give an objective view of both sides of any subject. How does Harvard allow this crazy to teach?

Dershowits is an extremist. He has suggested that a suicide bombers's village should be destroyed with everyone in it as punishment.. Most parents don't even know their child is going off to do a heinous act. Palestinians don't even want their kids to throw stones.They don't want their child shot for throwing stones;they certainly don't want their child blowing himself up.

Israel offered peace like this. They invite Palestinians to a banquet. The Palestinian menu only offers shit sandwiches. And the sandwiches arrive without the bread.

Always look forward to the Doucheawitz. The best zionist apologist the anti-zionists could hope for. Long may he live and long may he foghorn (if indeed that can be made in to a verb).

The leader of the palestinians in the second world war, was a nazi and commanded 2 SS divisions. this woman does not seem to want to admit this. why ?

[saja13]

How the hell does this prick sleep at night? He must have the best persuasion skill to make himself believe all the lies and crap that come out of his mouth.

@ohffsjustgivemeauser You want me to answer your questions when you never answered mine. Why did the new jews coming to Palistine/Israel come to the doors of Palistinians, who owned their own homes for 100's of years, and kick them out onto the street? Who gave you the right to take property and land by force? I've seen new jews at the doors of Palistinians with their suitcases and children telling the Palistinian, get out, this is mine now!

@zeeab What was its form of government? 7. Can you name at least one Palestinian leader before Arafat? 8. Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation? 9. What was the language of the country of Palestine ? 10. What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine ? 11. What was the name of its currency? . 12. And, finally, since there is no such country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur?

[ohffsjustgivemeauser]

@zeeab If you are so sure that " Palestine , the country, goes back through most of recorded history," I expect you to be able to answer a few basic questions about that country of Palestine : 1. When was it founded and by whom? 2. What were its borders? 3. What was its capital? 4. What were its major cities? 5. What constituted the basis of its economy?

[ohffsjustgivemeauser]

@zeeab they lived in Israel exactly as my Family did for your information.

the only difference was that they lunched a war of violence against the people of

Israel, and lost, And by god they are sore losers. Every nation and every people

lost and won wars, lost and gained land, loved ones and enemies, Most nations went forwards, continued to build, to produce to advance. not the Palestinians, They dwell in the Past and on their mistakes. Time to move on.

[zeeab]

@ohffsjustgivemeauser Arabs lived in Palistine, now called Israel, before you got there. You may have lived in Palistine in the past, but that never gave you the right to confiscate their homes and put them out in the street. If you think thats ok to do, you and I will never agree. What if someone came and said get out of your house, it's mine now?
