Finkelstein had Dershowitz running around like a hamster on a treadmill. Dershowitz used every sleezy sneaky trick to kill time and shift the focus. It was a glorious victory for Finkelstein, and Dershowitz' nemesis.
"those people don't hold the same value for human life that you and I do "
Oh now I am going to have to see some evidence of this statement - unless you mean the Israelis.
The Israelis certainly do not hold the same value of human life as evidenced by the pre-emptive war waged on the helpless starving and comparatively unarmed and unfunded population of Gaza.
Pre-emptive war is defined as acts of terrorism, the Israelis commited hundreds of thousands of terrorist acts in 22 days.
Ahhh no sorry - the UN defines it as a seige - and an illegal seige.
"food as well as fuel and water"
Ahhh again according to every human rights organisation trying to break the "seige" you're wrong again.
You are NOT a victim of hollywood and Israeli propaganda - you are Israeli hasbara - you are purposefully perpetrating the lie of the legitimacy of teh Israeli state.
Israel would have responded more moderately but the sad truth (that you deliberately fail to grasp) is that those people don't hold the same value for human life that you and I do and that's why moderate responses just don't work. It's been tried. If you don't believe me I'd be more than happy to point you to videos of mothers happily glorifying their sons who died while blowing up themselves as well as children who happened to be around.
It's very easy for you to say that Gaza rockets are a joke... from New Zealand. Tell that to more than a million citizens who had to get into shelters three times a day on a fifteen second notice. Your quoting of numbers shows a total lack of understanding of the situation. 100% of those 28 were civilians while between 75% and 45% (depending on your sources) of the 1300 were armed combatants.
You are a victim of Pali propaganda. I've got to hand it to them, the mere fact that they made you think and a friendly fire incident that happened 30 years ago has anything to do with the Palestinian cause is quite an acomplishment. Gaza is not under siege but rather under very legitimate economic embargo, food as well as fuel and water is allowed in which is more than any reasonable nation would do to help an entity that has elected a terrorist organization sworn to destroy it.
Keep drinking the kool aid huh - sure what ever. Reverend Jim Jones forced many people to drink the cool aid by the barrel of a gun.
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck then it is a duck the israeli regime are behaving like nazis - that makes them nazis.
3. The illegal colonies (lets not get words mixed up - they are not settlements because the private palestinian land is palestinian and not israeli) are illegal. They have always been illegal and are defined by UN and international law as illegal.
4. Murder of Palestinian farmers - what planet do you live on, search youtube and you can find plenty of videos documenting them. If not go to ifamericansknew or palsolidarity or btselem and find them yourself
Seriously schwr78 with all due respect, everything you've said is wrong. In fact it's absolutely the opposite of what you said. you really need to read some history books to understand exactly what happened in 1948, 1967 as well as the USS Liberty.
1. Gaza is a seige - try sending some baby clothes to gaza and see what happens:
2. Gaza rockets is a joke, in nine years 28 people were killed because of the rockets. Israel killed 1400+ people in 22 days.

I'm really curious as to how you're gonna attempt to weasel yourself out of this one.
