Wednesday, February 26, 2014. To Ali Abunimah- Let's have a debate. One of the more prominent members of the American anti-Israel community is Ali Abunimah. Born in Washington DC, educated at Princeton and the University of Chicago, and now a resident of Chicago, Abunimah has written a book called "One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict". Let's have that discussion, with all of its ramifications. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Links to good organizations.

Thursday, July 3, 2014. Chomsky disses BDS- and he's STILL wrong about it. This week in The Nation. Noam Chomsky has joined Norman Finkelstein and MJ Rosenberg in distancing himself from the BDS movement. All three are well known as harsh critics of Israel, with added legitimacy and fame (or infamy, depending on your viewpoint) granted to them by virtue of being Jewish. Yet, starting with the posting on YouTube. You know and I know what the result is. There’s no Israel! That is why so many proponents of ...

Sunday, July 6, 2014. An open condemnation of the murder of Mohammed Abu Khdeir. We unequivocally condemn the horrific murder of Mohammed. Abu Khdeir. It was unjustifiable under any circumstances. The killing was reprehensible and we hope that the criminals who. Did this sickening act are found and prosecuted to the fullest. Extent of the law. Israel is a country run by the rule of law. There are reports that. Jews have been arrested for this crime. If a trial finds that Jews. It is not enough to. Noam C...

Saturday, May 19, 2007. Big Lies Part 1- A "Jewish State" Provides Unique Ethnic Preference and Therefore Is Illegitimate. And two pamphlets by Mitchell Bard that are available online: Myths and Facts. And On One Foot. Unacceptable and must be eliminated. Reading those arguments, one would think that no other country in the world provides any type of differential treatment to members of its own ethnicity. But I digress. The main right being challenged is Israel's Law of Return. The flag of Turkey, which ...

The Dec. 20 issue of J. featured two views touching on the issues of free speech and civil discourse as it relates to conversations about Israel.

Friday, June 27, 2014. This is why there's a blockade of Gaza. Is this also in part why Jewish Voice for Peace, Free Gaza, ISM, and similar extremist groups want the blockade to be lifted?

Friday, April 19, 2013. The BDS Circus is Back in Berkeley. Rather, I'd like to focus on what occurred in the room, as well as around it in cyberspace. I was at one of the meetings held as part of the 2010 edition of the Berkeley BDS Circus, so was perhaps less shocked than others who had not experienced this performance previously. Or both at once? Only a few hands went up. I'm not sure that those few fully understood the question. But what went on inside the room was polite and restrained compared to w...

Wednesday, July 2, 2014. We Have To Be Better Than This. But this anger cannot translate into "an eye for an eye". It cannot- wantonly and deliberately, with malice aforethought- take the life of a Palestinian child who had nothing to do with the murder of our children. It cannot allow us to sink to the depravity of Hamas. If the murder of this child indeed was the work of Jewish extremists, then. July 3, 2014 at 7:18 AM. And why is everyone saying it was Jews that killed him? July 4, 2014 at 4:48 AM.

in the land of milk and honey: Pesach Thoughts 5768: Four Sons and the Conflict

http://calevinthelandofmilkandhoney.blogspot.com/2008/04/four-sons-and-conflict.html

Friday, April 25, 2008. Pesach Thoughts 5768: Four Sons and the Conflict. The Hagaddah speaks of 4 sons - wise, wicked, simple and one unable to ask. Over the generations, this theme was expanded…four different Jews, four generations, four characteristics present in each one of us. In this context, here is a reading based on different Zionist approaches to the Israeli – Palestinian conflict. The ‘Redemptionist Child’ – what does he say? The ‘Realist’ Child - what does he say? Each withdrawal is not perce...

in the land of milk and honey: Conversations on Pesach: Dayenu: Maintaining Meaning in an Imperfect World

http://calevinthelandofmilkandhoney.blogspot.com/2011/04/conversations-on-pesach-dayenu.html

Wednesday, April 13, 2011. Conversations on Pesach: Dayenu: Maintaining Meaning in an Imperfect World. There is a dissonance between the Exodus story in the Hagaddah, which primarily focuses on the Jews leaving Egypt, and the Exodus story in the Torah, which emphasizes the importance of leaving Egypt in order to enter the Promised Land. The Haggadah's change in tone and downplaying of Israel is most likely in order to maintain the meaning of Pesach as a 'time of our freedom.'. In the Shiur, we discussed ...
