Insisting on Having It Both Ways Isn't A Rational Position It Depends On Lying And Bullying

It might have been lost in the great debate over the smart mop-head and Gordon Lightfoot's status as a song writer but the man who has been vilifying me as an anti-Semite with Duncan Black sponsoring his lies for the past several years didn't address my post about that yesterday.   As Noam Chomsky noted in that video clip about the tactics of Alan Dershowitz, he knows he can't argue with his opponents so he lies, makes false accusations and side tracks the discussion with false and irrelevant charges about his opponents like any cheap lawyer who doesn't have a case.  Congratulations, Simels, that's as close to the thinking of a famous law professor at an over-rated university as you're ever going to get.

So, let's get this straight.   My pointing out that Israel is a dangerous place for Jews to live, which has been on a permanent wartime footing since its creation, which is surrounded by hostile states and the object of terrorist attacks as well as military operations pretty much the whole time and wishing a less dangerous and deadly option had been taken, that's anti-Semitism.

On the other hand, people such as Alan Dershowitz, the neo-cons, the Israel lobby, pointing out that  Israel is a dangerous place for Jews to live, which has been on a permanent wartime footing since its creation, which is surrounded by hostile states and the object of terrorist attacks as well as military operations pretty much the whole time is not only not anti-Semtism but the very basis of support for Israel and the demand that the United States government send it enormous amounts of aid, military and other and have a blanket policy of backing every decision made by the Israeli government, its intelligence services, its military, that's just swell and OK.

Talk about wanting to have it both ways, up and down and every other way imaginable.   But let me break this to you.  Other than your bullying and lying and intimidation, you've got nothing to support your insistence that people ignore reality.  And there are people who won't be bullied, won't tolerate being lied about and won't care about the intimidation and the name-calling.  A rational discussion of the United States relationship with Israel and the Palestinians has been stopped, cold by that tactic and the only ones who have benefited are the fascists in Israel such as Netanyahu and the worst of Arab politicians and despots and the fundamentalists who have used the situation for their benefit.  Oh, and, of course, the neo-cons here, most of all the arms industry and brokers, they've benefited enormously by those intimidation tactics.

Update:  Simels, when you try to post a comment which is on topic and not filled with the same lies you've been spouting for the past three years on Duncan Black's blog I will post it and answer it.
