That' their option. I only require that they say they are advocating ethnic cleansing. In those very words. If they haven't the courage of their own convictions to do at least that, then there's no reason for any of us to pay them any attention either. It's like Holocaust deniers who worship Hitler. Ok but wouldn't that make him a piker?<br /><br />So again, if Bob Carr wants to have any credibility at all he should stand front and center and proclaim "I too am in favor of ethnic cleansing of all Jews from Israel". Then at least we would have no delusions about that and hot have to waste any time qualifying all subsequent statements. <br /><br />I once, unbeknownst to me, sat in a restaurant - a Japanese steakhouse that seats everyone at large tables - with a fellow who eventually started talking about the KKK and how he and everyone in his family was in the Klan or had been. In a weird way I had more respect for him than I do the Jews who teach in the UNC Chapel Hill Mideast Studies department who all hang Palestinian flags in their offices, wrap themselves in a keffiyah, chant endlessly that Israel must be destroyed and all the Jews there eliminated and then tell me they love Israel and Jews and how could anyone ever claim they don't since they are Jews too.Empress Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073538968722986065noreply@blogger.com
