"I disagree with the Robert Parry thesis as do many others" So what? Parry has made a case. Simply disagreeing with it and not giving a counter argument is pissing into the wind.

Perhaps, I will have to look into Jacko's trials more closely; for now I will say maybe Jacko's court wins in this area were not "jury nullification" or biased bench trials. But, as a former Chicago trial lawyer, and with some knowledge of Jacko's penchant for sleeping with kids, I have a double reason to suspect Jacko was a child molester. This is not inconsistent necessarily with some mother trying cash in on such at Jacko's expense… Just sayin'.

"It is a Jewish person's right to oppose ethnic cleansing of Jews in Israel " Jews can oppose anything they want, but if one expects to have any credibility, then you can't claim to be opposed to enthic cleasing of a population that was established by a prior enthic cleasing. That's akin to a car thief claiming that the car he stole is being stolen from him.

What are those four principles again that are used by Hasbara types when making arguements? I smell one of them here – some kind of reversal of concept/switch. Anyway I'm not articulate enough to spell it out, but I will say this eitanbenshlomo won't be winning any refereed debates on the topic using this line of reasoning. My advice: Quit while you're ahead friend. The jig is up and we not gonna stop pushing. We go to church friend and have conciences – we're the decendents of the boys that liberated all those unfortunate folks suffering under the Germans a while back. We will do what is right – not what is good for one or another ethnic group. There are some obvious wrongs being committed all around, but Israel enjoys tremendous support that can and likely will evaporate. Given current trends – economic, political, etc. take your best offer now – the Arab Peace Initiative – and move on. I wish you well.

RE: "our native homeland" SEE: "Ancient Israeli Myths Deter Peace", By Robert Parry, 07/09/09 (EXCERPT) The rationale for formally designating Israel a Jewish state – as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now demands – rests on three religious-political pillars: God’s purported covenant with Moses instructing the ancient Israelites to conquer the land, the injustice of the Roman-era Diaspora that supposedly removed them centuries later, and the brutal persecution of European Jews in the Holocaust. Yet, two of these pillars – Moses conveying God’s covenant to the Israelites and the Roman Diaspora – appear based on almost no historical reality, the stuff of legend and possibly even lies that crumble under any serious scrutiny. Normally, such ancient stories might be regarded as harmless tales that some people treasure as part of their Judeo-Christian faiths, except that Netanyahu’s new demand means that these myths now threaten peace in the Middle East and conceivably could push the modern world into more bloody warfare. Therefore, they must be given fresh examination.... ENTIRE ARTICLE - " target="_blank">http://www.consortiumnews.com/2009/070809.html

In terms of human rights, what about expulsions of Palestinians?

Colin, I think that it is important for the United States to stand up for human rights, I think this includes preventing ethnic cleansing of the Jewish population in Judea and Samaria. I also believes that the United States was wrong to support the expulsion of Jews from Gaza and it harmed the US.
