What does it say about Dersh that he believes everything that comes out of his mouth? I think he has PSTD because there are clearly irrational arguments coming out of his mouth, his anger is palpable, and he blames author Susan Abulhawa for things that go well beyond the front and back covers of her book.

Students at Amherst College convinced the President, a Jewish man, and the board of trustees to divest from Israel because of some very specific immoral policies. Dersh cant see it.

HAHA Dershowitz is a Dershbag!!

Almost every world empire ancient Greece, ancient Rome corroborate the fact that the Jewish home land was in modern day Israel. History backs that up. "Palestine" was the name given to the Jewish land of Judea. That's history, Emperor Hadrian change the name to insult the Jews. "Palestinians" are a made up people. They r not palies they r Arab. You people r so stupid.

@petersz98  That's Dershowitz alright! A lunatic who still act like he has any credibility after writing the nonsense he wrote on "The case for Israel".

Mornings in Jenin is propganda. Susan clearly is clearly communicating like someone who is attempting to sway you with her emotions. hahaha. "we are muslims, we are christians, we are jews, we are atheists, we are marxists" oh? And what percentage of each exist in Palestine, Susan? Please, enlighten us with the regional demographics of this highly diversified culture...

Dershoshitz is a crazy jew ! He reminds me of Woody Allen. Free Palestine from the crazy terrorist jews.

Susan maintained her poised, articulate presentation throughout in spite of the calculated provocations and inexcusable rudeness of Dershowitz. @meshuzzik on the contrary...Morris reaches the same conclusions as Prof. Pappe but then goes on to rationalize the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

For an idea of how racist Benny Morris is, Google; Survival of the Fittest?

An Interview with Benny Morris

By ARI SHAVIT I think it can be found at Counterpunch

[meshzzizk]

Also, no disrespect to Abulhawa, but most serious historians of Israel think Ilan Pappe's book is seriously flawed. I'm in no position to judge, but when Avi Shlaim and Benny Morris both dismiss you, it can't be a good sign.

Dershowitz is a scumbag. Abulhawa is a cutie. Thx for posting, I'm sorry I missed this.

[petersz98]

Notice how no one applauds after Dershowitz finishes his speech but when Susan finishes her speech she gets an applause. It enrages him so much he later comments on this and goes into a deranged rant! LOL
