The great Richard Silverstein:
Rabbi [Eric] Yoffieâs piece in the Forward proves to me that while he may have liberal instincts on many issues, when it comes to Israel he is little better than the mainline Israel lobby organizations. We cannot expect wisdom from them or him on these issues. It grieves me to say this because he has often been eloquent and profound about some subjects as Iâve noted above. But not this one. Not by a long shot.
J Streetâyouâve done something honorable. Donât even think of
backing down or being intimidated by this flackery. You are in the
right. Time and history will confirm it. It is Rabbi Yoffie who will
be eating his words in six months time when he sees that this military
project has failed just as all previous ones seeking to do the same
thing have failed before it.
….We should all stand behind J Street and not allow this sort of red-baiting to go on especially during at a time when Israel is violating moral norms in ways many of us find deeply troubling and unacceptable:

well, since 'the great Richard Silverstein' (I do wish you would stop all this ass-licking, Phil, it's just as unattractive as when Israel Shamir refers to everyone he agrees with as "our friend") – anyway, since 'the great Richard Silverstein' finds it worthwhile to say this : "We state what we think is in Israelâs long-term interests, but owe no special obligation to support Israel when it strays from our view of what those interests should be (as they have done in Operation Solid Lead)," I think he is condemned out of his own mouth as a supporter of the PRINCIPLE of the genocidal invader colonial state of Israel, so screw the both of them, Yoffe and him, I say.
Once upon the time in a land far away…
Fast forward to the 29th…..
Oh, well, IDF have never been that good at anatomy…..
At last I understand you, Eva. I apologize for all those racist and ignorant comments I've made about you in the past. I did some real research instead of just spouting off at the mouth like a little tot, and I discovered that many Poles saved Jewish lives at the very real
risk of their own, and even more amazing, at the risk of their own
children and relatives. They did so despite how terribly they were treated by Jews in power in the old Bolshevik days. Please forgive me for my past rabid ignorance. I never knew how the Poles were screwed by both the Nazis and the Jews under Stalin. I only pray that Israelis and American Jews will soon see the error of their lethal chauvinistic ways.
your racial obsession with Eva's nationality is quite disgusting, gid.
Er Rowan, I think that was someone doing a Gideon to Gideon himself. Maybe Jim – you certainly couldn't blame him.
I see photos like that and wonder 'how long before our cowardice in facing the the Zionist threat from within our own societies leads to blowback that does that to my children'?
If we don't, it is only a matter of time.
