Comments on: Another irksome thing about the ‘Where’s Palestinian Gandhi?’ question

The assumption that a cessation of 'violence' from the Palestinians would lead to any favours being granted to them is untrue, whether or not such a cessation is feasible, which would imply that wildcat 'violence' doesn't exist, which it clearly does -- Palestinian bulldozer drivers running amok with their machines, as they have done twice, are wildcat 'violence'. Many if not most of the Palestinians shot for 'approaching the fence' in Gaza are not in reality bent of planting bombs, as claimed, so the question of their being 'wildcat' doesn't even arise. Israel simply fabricates its claims that they were bent on 'violence', and would do so more if a cessation of 'violence' were commanded by e.g., Hamas, as from time to time it has been.

where is the jew who can say

"israel has no right to exist. jews are the cause of palestinian violence. palestinians do not need a gandhi unless he is piloting an apache attack helicopter blowing the hell out of ariel or jewish occupied hebron, jewish occupied areas of palestine."

'banality of evil' is for work a day nazis doing paperwork. does not apply to jews. for jews: joy of evil; pleasure of evil; living for evil; effortlessness of evil; need to be evil; evil r us.

"where is the jew who can say"

He was last seen at Antony Lowensteins:

And his name is Jeff Halper. Of course, he won't meet the schlomo's standards, but he's at least saying something instead of deprecating the business acumen of the Palistinians, like Suzanne.

Everyone knows they are just planting roses. When the Palestinians dig tunnels under the fence they are as Jimmy Carter stated "defensive tunnels".

Just plain outright hatred of Jews. Keep it up. The more you express your feelings, the more you keep on losing.

I've never liked Gershom's use of 'accidental' when describing the settlement process. Another form of whitewashing.

Julian, posting all your comments twice does not make them any more persuasive.

Imagine the nerve of those Palestinians, who think being put "on a diet" an excuse for them to dig tunnels to smuggle in food.

If they were a reasonable people, they would go off to some corner somewhere and just die without bothering their betters.

I was also irked when I learned that Gorenberg's piece was published in the Likudist Weekly Standard; particularly because the titled asked where is the Missing Mahatma. Well, we know where: in prison, exiled, or murdered.

But when I read the piece I came to a different conclusion: Gorenberg's piece is probably the first substantive article in the history of the magazine that provides a perspective never before seen in WS pages. His audience is definitely not an amen -- or, in this case, hosanna -- choir. Conservatives have a lot to learn about what's really taking place in Palestine. Hopefully, a few did reading this article.
