One is at first annoyed by his didactic tone, but ends up actually amused by the man's conceit and bogus scholarship.Ibrahim Ibn Yusufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09839484683464457225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781379104401133933.post-52340326837642311662009-01-13T14:30:00.000-08:002009-01-13T14:30:00.000-08:00I learned my lesson a while ago - there's no point...I learned my lesson a while ago - there's no point debating with a man who sees what he wants to see, and attributes to the target of his critique a future predicted opinion.<BR/><BR/>http://blog.z-word.com/2008/07/responsibilities/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781379104401133933.post-33009604616239753892009-01-12T15:55:00.000-08:002009-01-12T15:55:00.000-08:00Excellent point.

This is one of the most trusted tropes of the hasbara crowd - accusing critics of Israel of antisemitism on the grounds that we don't criticise other atrocities. In fact, most of us do, although usually in a separate paragraph. Furthermore, in trying to implicate all Jews in their crimes, Israel confers the right, and imposes the obligation, on all Jews to proclaim, 'Not in my name, you don't!' <BR/><BR/>That they themselves are susceptible to precisely the same criticism, and on more robust grounds, is an observation well worth making. Not that it will influence Israel's apologists themselves. Emabrrassing a hasbarist with accusations of hypocrisy is like embarrassing a dog with accusations the he licks his own balls.Ernie Halfdramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06463362099448607727noreply@blogger.com
