As for the brutal atrocities against the indigenous people, I think you have been listening to too much pro-Palestinian propaganda. Surely you know by now that Israel doesn't get any break from the world media. The recent fighting is an example of how Hamas was basically the source of infomation for the press.<BR/><BR/>As to who are really the indigenous people of the region, we could argue about that forever. Both peoples have historical claims.<BR/><BR/>It's basically this for me. I believe that Israel has a right to exist and a right to defend themselves. Ever since 1948, the Arab world has refuse to accept the existance of a Jewish state in their midst. Had the Palestinians not engaged in terrorism, which has been a reality my whole adult life, they would have had their own state decades ago. <BR/><BR/>So my questions to you are:<BR/><BR/>1 What do you expect the Israelis to do?<BR/><BR/>2 I took from your comment that you don't really think Israel has a right to exist-Is that true?<BR/><BR/>3 Don't you think that after the Holocaust, Israeli's might be excused for thinking that "everyone was out to get them"? Or was the Holocaust just another invention that never really happened?Gary Fousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014739065121483409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59324506101124457.post-8702194061678091152009-03-30T18:25:00.000-07:002009-03-30T18:25:00.000-07:00Maggie,Where are all those conservative professors...Maggie,<BR/><BR/>Where are all those conservative professors?Gary Fousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014739065121483409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59324506101124457.post-70735627898503002292009-03-30T09:55:00.000-07:002009-03-30T09:55:00.000-07:00Gary,Even with my handle, I have been harassed by ...Gary,<BR/><BR/>Even with my handle, I have been harassed by the Z-team so it is not without a prudent rationale. I'm glad you choose to post under your real name; I chose otherwise (at least for most venues). I created my blog mostly for a place holder for my nick, but you are right, I should be more active there. Maybe in the near future.<BR/><BR/>I do not see the reality false-flag attacks as conspiracy <I>theory</I> as they have a long history, particularly with regards to Israel. As far as casting stones about those in the grip of paranoia; pretty much Israel's entire reason for being is that "everyone is out to get them" and they use that excuse for the most brutal atrocities against the indigenous people of the region and their neighbors.LanceThrusterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12034741254580206813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59324506101124457.post-58108867607263623282009-03-28T20:21:00.000-07:002009-03-28T20:21:00.000-07:00I fear Finklestein is only one of many messing wit...I fear Finklestein is only one of many messing with the campus minds. At least he didn't tenure.

My name is front and center on everything I write.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, checking out your "blog", in which it looks like your last entry is July 2007, there isn't much there except a loony posting bringing up that old 9-11 truthers conspiracy again, buttressed by the comments of some of your fellow-conspiracy theorists.<BR/><BR/>Your writing, sir, is frankly the ramblings of something you and Finklestein called George Bush.<BR/><BR/>Take my suggestion and remain anonymous.Gary Fousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014739065121483409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59324506101124457.post-85440519859665166142009-03-26T21:48:00.000-07:002009-03-26T21:48:00.000-07:00How about your fascist British friends in the BNP,...How about your fascist British friends in the BNP, like Lionheart?
