White Hunter Dershowitz Bagged Finkelstein-- Now Claims Carter Too

MPS has always regarded Alan Dershowitz, professor of law at Harvard, as a disgrace. Certainly his behaviour when he sees someone attack Israel or its conduct, is akin to a pit bull terrier. Reason and any semblence of decent discourse goes out the window.

Mondoweiss now records in "White Hunter Dershowitz Bagged Finkelstein-- Now Claims Carter Too":

"If you wonder why Obama can't run against the neocons, well this is how the world works: Alan Dershowitz is claiming that he is responsible for getting Jimmy Carter banned from speaking at the Democratic Convention because the former president likened conditions on the West Bank to apartheid. Dershowitz repeatedly refers to Carter as a "bigot." Oh my. And says that barring Carter was his price for supporting the Democratic Party.

I played a role in seeking to persuade the Democrats to disinvite Carter. I made it clear that I could not support a party that honored a b****t like Carter. Many others— Jews and non-Jews—took the same position.

A little grandiose? Wouldn't be the first time. Dershowitz is piqued that Jimmy Carter declined to debate him. I wish Dershowitz would name some of those Israel-loving non-Jews. They could have a big barbecue. Oh--that would be the whole Democratic leadership, Nancy Pelosi dangling Israeli dogtags at the AIPAC conference. By the way, Jews are outsiders in the United States and have no power and are subject to periodic waves of antisemitism forcing them from good jobs and destroying their property."

The Pentagon's eye-popping spending....and waste!

Only a gigantic bureaucracy could get away with spending of such dimensions - and the amazing waste involved in part of that ginormous spend.   Think US Pentagon..... "From spending $150 million on private villas for a handful of personnel in Afghanistan to blowing $2.7 billion on an air surveillance balloon that doesn’t work, the latest revelations of waste at the Pentagon are just the most recent howlers in a long line of similar stories stretching back at least five decades.  Other hot-off-the-presses examples would include the Army’s purchase of helicopter gears worth $500 each for $8,000 each and the accumulation of billions of dollars' worth of weapons components that will never be used. And then there’s the one that would have to be everyone’s favorite Pentagon waste story: the spending of $50,000 to investigate the bomb-detecting capabilities of African elephants. (And here’s a shock: they didn’t turn out to be that great!) The elephant research, of course, represe...

Video: Israel demolishing a Bedouin village

From Mondoweiss - Israel's supposed "most moral army in the world", the IDF, engaged in immoral, and according to international law, illegal action.... "Israeli forces have demolished every home in the Bedouin village of Khirbet Taha in the northern West Bank district of Nablus during three separate demolitions since the start of the year. Unlike most Bedouin villages, the residents in Khirbet Taha own their own land. However that land falls in Area C, territory in the occupied West Bank under full Israeli control. The village’s only school was also destroyed, leaving children to study in a dilapidated 100-year-old mosque — the only structure left standing in the village. According the United Nations, Israel has demolished half as many Palestinian buildings in the first few months of 2016, as they had in all of 2015. In February alone, the UN found that more Palestinians homes were destroyed than any other month since 2009, when the organization began its docum...

What does a no-fly zone actually mean?

As some countries consider imposing a no-fly zone in relation to Libya, the pertinent question must be what does that mean and entail? FP provides the answers: "It depends on the circumstances. There are two primary types of no-fly zones imposed by air forces. The first is imposed by one military over another, while the two sides are at war. In practice, this type of no-fly zone amounts to a warning from one side that it will engage the other's aircraft if they are spotted in a given territory. The second type, more applicable to the situation in Libya, is when an outside power possessing overwhelming air superiority restricts flights over a given country in order to discourage an internal conflict or humanitarian crisis. This is a relatively recent tactic, which was used most famously in Bosnia and Iraq during the 1990s. No-fly zones are often a compromise in situations where the international community is demanding a response to ongoing violence, but full military interven...
