Undeniably a cruel and idiotic statement.

And, shelling civilian Israeli cities can only be described as terrorism, not resistance.

Accepting terror as a "valid" response to real frustration, is to condone crime.

Yes, precisely the point. Americans, wake up! You've been heavily funding state-sponsored terrorism far too long. It is illegal under self-defense law to proportionately over-react.
That's a standard beyond tit for tat & chicken and egg.

Why yes, Mister Harris. Yes, I can indeed! Why, specifically, would Israel maintain an illegal forty-year occupation of the Palestinian territories, rather than normalizing their status through either annexation or independence?

The answer lies in the code-phrase, "Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state," which requires an unassailable Jewish majority. Thus, the Arab-populated West Bank and Gaza must be held in limbo, outside of Israel. But as Jewish settlements are established inside the occupied territories (which would be impossible if they were sovereign), the Wall can be moved eastward to annex these growing Jewish-majority areas, which now comprise 460,000 Israelis.

This cynical policy reflects the same dilemma apartheid South Africa faced, in trying to keep control over African-majority areas, while exluding them from South African nationality and voting privileges. It fully explains why Israel sets impossible preconditions on negotiations — ALWAYS including the mischievous insistence on recognition of "Israel's right to exist (as a Jewish state)," which is the root of the present stalemate.

Honeyed sophistry drips thickly and treacly from every word of Harris's heartfelt paean to Israel's peaceful, humanitarian good intentions. Like our estimable correspondent and legal scholar Mr. Witty, Harris is his own best parody. Too bad he's not that funny.

Interesting that Mr. Harris mentions Israeli universities. Jonathan Cook, a journalist in Nazareth, points out several facts:

"As in most other areas of Israeli life, the country's Palestinian minority faces systematic discrimination in higher education. No public university is located in an Arab community or teaches in Arabic, and, though the minority is a fifth of the population, fewer than 1 per cent of lecturers are Arab.

"In addition, the number of Arab students is a third of their proportion in the population — an under-representation that is apparently intentional. In 2003, psychometric tests biased towards Western culture were scrapped in an effort to help "weaker sections" of society gain acceptance to university. However, when the Committee of University Heads learnt that the number of Arabs entering university had risen sharply as a result, the tests were immediately reinstated."

Even in the Jim Crow South, there were "historically black" universities — some quite prestigious, such as Howard, Fisk and Morehouse. The absence of Arab colleges in Israel more closely parallels apartheid South Africa, where a token number of black scholars were admitted into majority-white universities such as Cape Town and Witwatersrand.

Zionism is racism. Dugard's UN report refers to Jews-only roads in the territories as "road apartheid," a cruel twist that never occurred to master apartheid theorists such as Hendrik Verwoerd and George Wallace. Fifteen extra IQ points goes a long way, don't it?

“In the twisted world of neoconservative letters most Germans are Nazis, most Russians are anti-Semites, and most white Southerners fascistoid racists.”

Jewish Zionists obviously also hate Muslims.

So when Harris says Jewish Zionist Israelis are seeking "long-denied tranquility and peaceful coexistence with its neighbors" he is being disingenuous.

What they are really seeking is vengeance against a world that has rejected their tribal fascism (often times violently) and regards them as pariahs for their usurious, sociopathic behavior. No amount of negotiating, military aid, financial aid or coddling will ever satisfy their deep well of eternal anger and hatred at the world. In fact, they would happily see America bankrupt and destroy itself pandering to their Greater Israel ambitions and chalk it up to a victory over the hated gentile “other.”

And apparently a significant percentage of dumbed-down Americans think there's nothing wrong with that. Americans have been conditioned by the Jewish Zionists for so long, they have apparently become suicidal. And the weakest and most despicable of those Americans today condemn those willing to fight for America’s survival as anti-Semites. Pathetic, but predictable in a country that has internalized the Jewish narrative.

Responding to an article by Jimmy Carter in the International Herald Tribune, Harris wrote in a letter to the editior on 12/22/2006:

"Israel does not require lectures on the need for peace. The Jewish people introduced to the world the prophetic vision of a world in which 'nation shall not lift up sword against nation'. No country yearns for peace more than Israel …"

Poor world, it wouldn't know about the concept of peace if it hadn't been for the Jewish people.

Oh my God, has Phil just finally, admitted what anyone who has been to Israel more than once knows? Namely, that he has not a clue about Israel and speaks almost exclusively from the perspective of an upstate formerly Jewish unemployed dick living off his wife's money?
