IDF, IAF and children killers. Israeli justice gave them already amnesty

3. To #1 IDF not children killers
Mordechai   (07.18.07)
While the withdrawal from Gaza was a wrongheaded political decision you are wrong to condemn the as children killers. Nor should the IDF be condemned for Olmerts refusal to attack terrorrists in Gaza. They are under civilian control and cannot be held responsible for Israels civilian deaths because Olmert won't defend the country. Blame the politicians not the troops
4. Attempt to "un-Palestinian" Hawatmeh
English guy ,   London   (07.18.07)
Time and time again, "Prof" Bligh states that Hawatmeh's origins are in Jordan. Okay, let's have a long list of the origins of Israeli politicians: USA, UK, France, Russian Federation, etc, etc. The thrust of Bligh's article simply seems to be an effort to undermine Hawatmeh's credibility as a Palestinian. So sad, and so sick - and part of this pathetic and déclassé attempt to prove that Palestinians are not actually Palestinians. Let's just say that if London-, New York- or Moscow-born people can be Israelis, then a man born in Salt can identify himself with Palestinians. The very fact that he has been a leading Paestlinian politician for forty years, and Bligh, who refers to Olmert's "spinmeisters" (which I suppose is a slur on his PR people, as calling them by a German name is considered beyond the pale in Israel - particularly when we have a perfectly good English term "spinmaster" or "spindoctor") is flogging a dead horse in this outmoded and sophomoric attempt to imply that a Palestinian politician is in fact no a Palestinian politician. This "Palestinian is a myth" ideology is in fact a symptom of a deep and incurable pathological condition: denial of the truth, and rings just about as hollow and ill-educated as holocaust denial. As for Prof Bligh's credentials "Israeli and Mideastern Politicas in the College of Judea and Samaria" - I guess that to have tenure in the fictitious zones of Judea and Samaria you have to toe the line with those messianic freakos who believe they are doing god's work.

The truth is people from many countries came to a country named Israel and became citizens thus are 100% Israelis. On the other hand the Palestinian territory has never been a country named Palestine. EVER. Hawatmeh is not a Palestinian politician but a terrorist. He has never been a Palestinian citizen but he was/is a citizen of Jordan. You have the opinion that Prof. Alexander Bligh is" flogging a dead horse" but in reality you are trying to ride an imaginary one.

Thanks so much for your highly enlightening and deeply intellectual analysis of the myth that Israelis exist and Palestinians do not exist. Please send me a postcard from cloud cuckoo land.
