1. advocatesforisrael.org, Richard Acheatel
Lee ,   Las Vegas, NM, USA   (09.04.06)
News stories are reporting that the Israel Green Party is in agreement with Richard Acheatel and Lorna Salzman regarding the US Green position on divesiture from Israel. http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=21281 While a general agreement on the position of divestiture may be one thing, I have to wonder if you are aware of the vitriolically islamophobic rhetoric of Lorna Salzman, hate speech which is apparently endorsed by Acheatel also (her opinions are posted on his site. ) I wonder if you would be willing to take a similar public position regarding this statement by Salzman on Acheatel's website- http://www.advocatesforisrael.org/psychology.html It is my sincere hop that you distance yourselves from these two, at least with reference to their expressed hatred of muslims.
2. #1 - not necessarily vitriol
NL ,   Israel   (09.04.06)
I went to the response mentioned by #1 and I did not find it to be full of 'Islamophobic vitriol' True, Lorna is not a fan of the Islamic culture as a whole, however, her censures are accompanied by cited evidence of crimes such as honor killings. She primarily attacks Islamic-ruled countries, she does not attack the faith as a faith, nor does she attack all Muslims in her statements. In all fairness, human rights groups have, indeed, been decrying Islamic nations for years on their appalling human rights violations vis-a-vis the female sector of their population.
