“It’s a great read, well researched, and very important for any student of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to consider the information being presented. Even for people who are well read on the subject, there are many new details to learn and absorb.” — DOV HIKIND, former Democratic New York State Assemblyman (1983–2018) representing Brooklyn’s Assembly district 48

Great to see this from Dov Hikind.
He has a lot of important things on his Twitter feed–especially about the grim resurgence of antisemitism, most notably with the Muslim invasion in Europe.

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:
“The hard-Left, as usual, gave [Yasser] Arafat a pass
on his personal involvement in the murder of innocent
civilians, as well as on his refusal to condemn terrorism.
As is all too typical of the hard-Left, they tolerate all manner
of human rights violations by anti-Israel and anti-American
tyrants, while railing against even the most minor deviations
from perfection by the Western democracies.”

the hard-core left lies whenever it suits their purposes, their ultimate purpose, of course, being the seizure of all power anywhere humans tread.

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:
“…as Israel offered compromises in the interests
of peace, the efforts by the hard-Left to demonize,
delegitimize and isolate Israel only increased.
This perverse dynamic, demonstrating that the hard-Left
opposition was not to Israel’s policies, but rather to
its very existence, has continued to this day.”

BOTTOM LINE: Jews are the only people who are not
allowed to have their own country, no matter how small.
Mr. Cohen says
Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:
“Radical Leftists chose to downplay [Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak]
Rabin’s effort to make peace, and instead focused on Israel’s
imperfections, while ignoring or excusing the crimes
of the Palestinian leadership.
Anti-Israel groups conducted “apartheid week” events,
demanded divestment from Israeli companies and companies
that did business with Israel, and shouted down pro-Israel
speakers in an effort to prevent their views from being heard.”

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:
“For whatever reason, [Yasser] Arafat decided
to reject the generous peace offers.
He did not offer counterproposals or explain why he was
turning down the opportunity for statehood for his people.
He simply walked away and immediately initiated a second infitada,
in which thousands of Israelis and Palestinians were killed.
Arafat employed the pretext that Ariel Sharon had visited
the Temple Mount, but proof has since emerged that the
infitada was carefully planned well before Sharon provided
the phony excuse to start the bloodshed.
Arafat did not give back the Nobel Peace Prize he had been
awarded for signing the Oslo Accords and rejecting terrorism.”

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:
Barghouti neglects to mention the role of the Palestinian
leadership during the 1930s and 1940s, who had formed
an alliance with the Nazi regime in general and Adolph Hitler
in particular. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin Al-Husseini,
collaborated with the Nazis to prevent Jewish refugees
from seeking sanctuary in what became Israel.
He was instrumental in having Jews, who were on their way
out of Europe, sent to death camps. After the war, he was
declared a war criminal for recruiting thousands of Muslim
Yugislavs to murder Jews in Croatia and Hungary.
Despite his Nazi collaboration – or perhaps because of it –
he became and remained a hero to most Palestinians,
many of whom hung his picture in their homes.
He helped design an Arab fez adorned with a Swastika
that his Palestinian followers wore (I saw that fez in a
private collection of Nazi-Arab memorabilia).
Following the Holocaust, Al-Husseini received asylum
in Egypt, where he organized other German Nazis
to help in efforts to destroy Israel.”

“Indeed, the only nation subjected to the so-called BDS movement
is the nation-state of the Jewish people. When only Muslim states
were subject to the Trump administration’s travel ban, the Left was outraged.
Why is there no similar outrage at subjecting only the nation-state
of the Jewish people to BDS? Many of those who most loudly
support boycotting Israel demand that we end boycotts of:
Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and other tyrannical regimes.
How can they justify this double standard?”

BOTTOM LINE: Jews are the only people who are not
allowed to have their own country, no matter how small.
Reziac says
My Cynical Little Voice opines that the real reason the Muslim states (as contrasted with Islam itself, which by default wants all Jews dead) want Israel destroyed is because then they’d stop squabbling with each other over how to best achieve this, and would focus wholly on destroying the West. So even if you hate Israel — it performs a useful function for the West, by keeping the Muslim states distracted and disorganized. Far less costly to support Israel than to have that war on our doorsteps.
Funny how the people who complain loudest about “Jews control everything” are also the least likely to support Jews having their own country which they can control instead (assuming one believes the Great Jewish Conspiracy Theory).
Jew haters are Islam’s useful idiots.

“Nor did Israel receive the praise it rightfully deserved.
Despite taking these risks for peace [like completely
withdrawing from all of Gaza in year 2005], efforts to
isolate and demonize Israel – through BDS,
UN resolutions and demonstrations – only increased.
There was no correlation between Israel’s positive
actions on the one hand and the condemnation it
received on the other, especially from the hard Left.”

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said:
“If [the Jews] all gather in Israel, it will save us
the trouble of going after them worldwide.”
“If we search the entire world for a person more cowardly,
despicable, weak and feeble in psyche, mind, ideology
and religion, we would not find anyone like the Jew.
Notice I did not say Israeli.”

Mr. Cohen says
In 1970, King Hussein of Jordan said to his people, in Arabic:
“Kill the Jews wherever you find them.
Kill them with your hands, with your nails, with your teeth.”
The audience gasped.
They had never before heard the suave, gentle,
smiling King of Jordan speak in such genocidal terms.
