afraid of Corbyn? He hasn't shot anyone. Hasn't carried out any massacres. Just "questionable comments," right? British Jews that are afraid of Corbyn see that those "questionable comments" today open the door to attacks tomorrow. When you praise the likes of Hamas and Hezbollah

You have an amazing ability, Mick, to keep returning to the "we aren't as bad as they are" line. I see you are a Corbyn fan. And I see you play down antisemitism in Britain. As if British Jews just make it up. Why exactly do you think such a large segment of British Jews are

When you say Israelis are poisoning the water? Anti-semitic. It isn't difficult.

When he says they're sending over drug dealers and rapists, that sounds kind of racist, doesn't it? Can you see the difference? It isn't hard. Now apply the same standards to Israel. You have a problem with Israel's treatment of Palestinians? OK.

No. You know what group of people criticize the Israeli government the most? Israelis. Any and all criticism isn't anti-Semitic. Just the anti-Semitism. If Trump said, "I take issue with Mexico's law enforcement of its border," no one would have battled an eye.

accuse me of equating Islamists and leftists. Why?

Why are you constantly trying to insinuate that I'm equating things that I'm not equating? I say antisemitism exists on the left. The response I get is that I am equating antisemitism on the left and right. I say murders of Jews are not the sole domain of the far right. You

Hamas was elected after the disengagement. And then were nearly immediately boycotted by the US and EU. And when the unity government they eventually agreed to fell apart, they threw the PA off of rooves. BTW, Abbas was democratically elected, too, to a 4-year term. In 2005.

If you read what the BDS movement puts on their website for the world to see, then, yes, mine is a gross misreading. If you read what BDS' founder actually says, what prominent members of BDS tweet day after day, if you understand where funding for the organization goes...

In terms of leftists, though, the Soviet Union carried out many well-documented massacres and pogroms of Jews. To think leftists are incapable of such a thing is naive.

I wrote that gunning down Jews is not exclusively a far-right problem. I didn't say there were leftists committing the same recent massacres. Islamists have carried out several murders/massacres of Jews on European soil in recent years.

It is wishful thinking, unfortunately. While there are many in the BDS movement whose aim is to genuinely change Israeli governmental policy, the aim and design of the movement as a whole is geared toward ending Israel, period. Makes it a wee difficult to engage with.

While Sharon's motives were not altruistic, your claim is without merit. Hamas didn't take over Gaza until 2007. The disengagement was in 2005. Are you saying Sharon foresaw the violent overthrow of the PA in Gaza?

Sharon withdrew from Gaza. You see what that was worth in terms of peace.

As do the incredibly large majority of Israelis. Which is why a movement like BDS, which places all of the blame and responsibility on Israel, is not seen as a peace-driven movement by the bulk of Israelis and is fought across all but the far-left of the political spectrum.

Oslo wasn't a settlement offer. It was a proposed roadmap to such. It was laying the groundwork for negotiations. A starting point.

No, I don't. Said that from the beginning. I answered your question. And you refuse to answer mine. Maybe you should think about why you won't/can't. Have a pleasant evening.

It doesn't justify dehumanizing any Palestinians. It doesn't justify any human rights abuses that may exist. It is, however, a reality at the voting booth and in daily life.

No counter offer. Then, violence. How many times do you think Israelis want to rinse and repeat?

No doubt it is. There is a loss of hope here in a chance for peace. That doesn't exist in a vacuum. And it doesn't excuse some of the vicious, completely unnecessary fear-mongering. But, the fact is that every single offer of peace has been met with a no.
