On March 12, while the battle raged between Libyan revolutionaries and Gaddafi’s brigades on the front lines outside the city of Ajdabiya, Muhannad Bensadik, 21, aimed his rifle at the enemy and let many rounds rip. Four of his friends around him did the same. It was dark, cold and scary. The horrific sound of gunfire and explosions surrounded them from every side while fear and panic crawled underneath their skin like a venomous desert snake. Such emotions were common amid the poorly trained, poorly equipped mainly civilian rebel forces that were fighting not just for their survival but also for the survival of Benghazi and all of eastern Libya. Not that the brave revolutionaries who had more heart than military training or weapons were cowards, but because these emotions were human. Muhannad’s friends wanted to jump in a pickup truck and retreat to Benghazi but the twenty-one year old former Boy Scout relented. In his heart, there seemed to be no room for fear or panic. He was determined to hold off the enemy at all costs. In his mind, he knew what would happen if he retreated and ran away. If his Boy Scout years had taught him anything it was that retreat meant surrender, and surrender was synonymous with cowardice and dishonor, two traits that didn’t run in his blood. Moreover, he had an inkling of the consequences of defeat on Benghazi and the rest of the east.http://www.infocusnews.net/content/view/44440/135/ |

American Citizen Dies in Battle for Libya
The Arab Revolt in 3-D
By Salaam Abdul Khaliq
Monday, 11 April 2011
Just late last year, no one could have predicted the fall of the regimes in Tunisia and Egypt. No one would have believed this could actually happen in their lifetime. Ben Ali ruled Tunisia for 23 years and Mubarak ruled Egypt for 31 years. Both seemed immortal. Yet, with two peaceful revolutions the brave peoples of Tunisia and Egypt pulled the rug from underneath everyone’s feet and routed two tyrannies within weeks.
The Arab revolt, like wild fire, spread quickly to Morocco, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan and Syria. As if inspired by a divine call, the much maligned and scorned masses knocked the walls of fear down and took to the streets to claim their freedom, dignity, and human rights. Arab regimes that only a fortnight ago seemed as stalwart as an oak tree all of a sudden started to crack like firewood. Their little police states started to crumble like a deck of cards with no western power being able to come to their help. Once they heard the chants of “the people want to bring down the regime,” they knew the end was near.

Zionism and the Chosen People Complex
By Salaam Abdul Khaliq, IFN Staff Columnist
Tuesday, 13 April 2010

The recent political row with the Obama administration over illegal settlement building in East Jerusalem has put Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin “Bibi” Netanyahu on the offensive. Last month, he told an audience at the annual conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), “The Jewish people were building Jerusalem 3,000 year ago and the Jewish people are building Jerusalem today. Jerusalem is not a settlement. It is our capital.”
The reason for Bibi’s visit was to shore up support for his settlement building, and rally the troops – AIPAC and Congress – against the White House. Only this time, it didn’t work. Obama wasn’t going to be cowed by political blackmail. He knows Israel is America’s welfare state that gets no less than $6 Billion in financial and military aid annually. The Israeli leader also knows that. But like the proverbial dog, he came to Washington to bite the hand that feeds him and his little apartheid state. In Yiddish, they call it Chutzpah. Netanyahu has it in spades. Apparently, Netanyahu, like all Israeli leaders and many of the Zionist persuasion, suffers from what is known as the Chosen People Complex, or CPC. People with CPC display certain unique patterns of behavior that include an innate sense of self righteousness, an arrogant domineering personality, absolute disdain for public opinion, total disrespect for international law, the use of lobbies to bully and coerce American lawmakers, incessant crying over a tragedy that took place over 65 years ago in Europe, and the ubiquitous use of the anti-Semitic label to intimidate and silence critics. CPC serves Zionists well. It has helped transform their movement from a strictly godless secular movement into a quasi-religious false Messiah that steals land in the name of God and kills in the name of self-preservation. CPC cannot be faked. It’s genetic. Bibi has the DNA to prove it.
Like most Zionists, Netanyahu claims both a historical and religious connection to Jerusalem. The Holy Land is supposedly the ancestral land of the Jewish people, and God allegedly promised it to them.
But is there any truth to these claims?
Long before there was any such thing as Jews, the Holy Land was known as the Land of Canaan. Besides the Canaanites, it was also peopled by the Jebusites, Amalekites and Philistines, possibly the ancestors of Palestinians. This is a historical fact even acknowledged in the Bible. Jerusalem was also conquered and ruled by many peoples throughout the ages including the Hittites, the Amorites, the Babylonians, the Persians, the Romans, and finally Arab Muslims and the Ottomans.
So why should the Holy Land be the exclusive ancestral homeland of just one people?
As the religious claim, if God supposedly promised it to the Jewish people, he made the exact same promise to Muslims, and possibly to Christians too. So one religion’s claim is not any more valid than another’s. God is not exclusive to one people. Zionists (and most Jews) also believe that Abraham was the first Jew, and his son, Isaac, was almost sacrificed on the rock where Dome of the Rock stands today. The Temple of Solomon was supposedly built there, and that is why rightwing Zionists want to knock the mosque down and rebuild the Temple.
These two claims, however, are both strictly erroneous. Abraham could not have been a Jew for three reasons: First, the Torah was revealed centuries after his death. Second, Abraham was the father of both Isaac and Ishmael. The latter is the forefather of a major Arab tribe from which Prophet Muhammad (S) is a descendant. For sure, a Jew cannot beget an Arab (simple ethnic genetics). Also, Judaism and Jews were named after Judah, son of Jacob and great grandson of Abraham (a great grandfather cannot be named after his great grandson). And third, the Sacrificial Son was not Isaac but Ishmael, and that is according to the Bible itself. In Genesis 22:2, God is supposed to have told Abraham, “Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love...sacrifice him there.” Ishmael was at least 12 years old when Isaac was born. So Isaac could not at any time have been Abraham’s “only son” as the Bible indicates. Now some would argue that Ishmael was not really Abraham’s son because his mother Hagar was a slave (that’s how Jewish tradition established one’s “Jewishness” through the mother only). Hagar, slave or not, was Abraham’s second wife, and Ishmael was his legitimate progeny. Anyone who denies this fact either has a terrible case of CPC or is accusing Abraham of adultery. Ishmael was the sacrificial son for sure. It is obvious someone tempered with Gen 22:2 by adding Isaac’s name after “your only son.” And even if Abraham were a Jew as claimed he was not a native of the Holy Land but migrated to it from ancient Mesopotamia. So how does this make his “chosen” descendants heirs to the land?
This should settle the argument over the historical and religious right of the Jewish people and their claims to Jerusalem, the Holy Land and the Temple. But unfortunately it would take more than reason and historical facts to debunk myths that have been thousands of years in the making.
When Muslims conquered Jerusalem in 638 AD, Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, Islam’s second Caliph, refused to pray inside the Church of Holy Sepulcher for fear of tacitly inciting future generations to expropriate the Christian holy site. Under Islamic rule, Jerusalem remained a peaceful, tolerant city for Jews, Christians and Muslims for most of 1200 years. Today, 60 years under Zionist rule, Muslim holy sites are constantly under threat of destruction and there is little tolerance and no peace. Zionism has proven itself to be not just a threat to the peaceful co-existence of the three faiths, but also a threat to the legitimacy of the Jewish people and their very survival in the Holy Land.

Hollywood should give Nazis a break
By Salaam Abdul Khaliq, IFN Columnist
Thursday, 25 March 2010
http://www.infocusnews.net/content/view/44293/1366/
Nazis have been Hollywood’s favorite bad guys since WWII started. No filmmaker could possibly go wrong depicting the Third Reich, Hitler and his Guestapo henchmen as the exemplars of evil. Quentin Tarantino’s latest Academy Award Best Picture Nominee “Inglorious Basterds” is a case in point. Basterds is an anti-Nazi film with a special flavor. It takes what amounts to perverse license to distort history and depict Nazis as subhuman vermin. Tarantino wrote a fictional story about a band of Jewish American soldiers who hunt and kill Nazis. Most critics did not take Basterds seriously but their opinion did not matter because Hollywood’s movers and shakers reward anti-Nazi celluloid gusto with lavish publicity and Academy Award bonanza.
But why does Hollywood keep constantly picking on Nazis 65 years after WWII ended? If Nazism were a horse it would’ve been beaten to death a million times over already. Some critics argue that by constantly portraying German-speaking folks as the ultimate bad guys one wonders whether today’s Germans are ever going to shed the mantle of guilt-by-association they have been forced to wear for decades. On the other hand, German taxpayers are still paying up billions of dollars in reparation annually to the apartheid state of Israel for the sins of their ancestors, and for crimes they did not commit. This money is ironically earmarked for land theft, settlement building, apartheid walls, and maybe an occasional genocide or two against women and children in Gaza and Lebanon. And thus it seems, Nazism feels like a viral contagion passed down from one people to another.
Apparently this subtle historical irony wasn’t on Tarantino’s mind when he set out to make Basterds. His mind was most likely set on box office tallies and Oscar night kudos. He knew that a mentally conditioned audience would dance to the Pavlovian tune of anti-Nazi propaganda and tired cinematic clichés. It is also a de facto doctrine among Academy members that Nazi-bashing tell-tales are guaranteed golden statue nods. In that respect, Tarantino’s effort amounts to nothing more than a pseudo artistic shoe-shine job at the expense of the ubiquitously maligned Nazis (for the record, Inglorious Basterds is a heavy-handed, contrived work of pure fiction, a film that cannot possibly be taken seriously as art or entertainment. It’s pure Tarantino hogwash with possibly the worst Hitler depiction since Mel Brooks’ The Producers).
Shortly after WWII ended, Zionists ethnically cleansed Palestine of its indigenous population to make room for Jewish immigrants. If it took Nazis over five years to commit their atrocities, Israel’s crimes have been over sixty years in the making. Why hasn’t Hollywood made a single movie about the Palestinian Holocaust? Why doesn’t Tarantino lens a movie about the four hundred and fifteen children that were massacred by U.S. made weapons in Gaza only a year ago? At a time when genocide could be broadcast on television and on the Internet, it’s become visually easy for viewers to draw parallels between Zionism and Nazism. No Hollywood anti-Nazi hokum can top the images of Palestinian babies laying dead with gaping gunshot wounds. The war crimes being committed against the Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied territories make the discourse about Nazi crimes rather anathema and irrelevant. For Hollywood to keep denouncing an evil that has been interred for over six decades while turning a blind eye on an evil that is still playing before our eyes smacks of hypocrisy and overt bias.
This argument should not undermine or belittle Jewish suffering or defend Nazi crimes against Jews but rather remind survivors and those who stand for justice that Zionist Jews cannot build their future on the blood of the Palestinian people. Anyone who claims to immortalize the memory of those who perished in the death camps of Auschwitz by building an edifice literally over the bones of dead Muslims (as is the case with the Simon Wiesenthal Center that is currently trying to build a Museum of so-called Tolerance on the site of an ancient Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem) cannot expect to sell sympathy by demonizing Nazis. Israel vehemently rejects comparisons with Nazi Germany but its actions and policies speak louder. By blockading Gaza from land, sea and air and starving its people then going in with the most technologically advanced weaponry and massacring men, women and children, it cannot claim a higher moral ground than Nazi Germany. The lives and blood of one people cannot matter more than the lives and blood of another people.
Hollywood should seriously give up its ridiculous infatuation with anti-Nazism propaganda films and start embracing the reality of current events. The evil of Nazism still lives. With impunity it rears its ugly head all around us, particularly in the Middle East where it claims might makes right. All that is left for Hollywood filmmakers to do is turn their cameras on it and yell “Action!”

Turkish filmmaker takes aim at U.S. and Israel
By Reuters
Israel may not like it, but a popular Turkish TV and film franchise which once depicted a Jewish doctor stealing organs from Muslim prisoners in Iraq now has plans to release a film set in Palestine.
"Valley of the Wolves: Palestine" is projected to cost over e10 million, making it one of the most expensive Turkish films.
Scheduled for a November release, the new project follows the 2006 feature "Valley of the Wolves: Iraq."
That film, which showed American soldiers running amok in northern Iraq, racked up 4.2 million ticket sales in Turkey and accusations of rampant anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism.

How will the next Palestinian uprising look?
By Amira Hass
Judging from articles written by both Israelis and Palestinians, the next intifada is already in the air. They are predicting it is on the way and the most punctilious know it will be "popular." Bil'in and Na'alin are perceived as its models.
Some Palestinians are guessing it will first erupt in Jerusalem. There, the constant clash between a dispossessing first world and a misery-stricken world is palpable, and the presence of the discriminatory regime is particularly violent because of the daily mingling of the two worlds. In Jerusalem, as opposed to the Ramallah enclave, it is impossible to fake normalcy.

Hamas: Jordan or Egypt likely behind Dubai hit
By Reuters
Hamas suspects the security forces of an Arab state were behind the assassination of a senior group operative in Dubai earlier this year, the Al-Quds Al-Araby daily reported on Tuesday.
Mahmoud Nasser, a member of Hamas' political bureau, told the newspaper that slain commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was likely being tracked by agents from Jordan and Egypt prior to the January 19 killing.

Israel's aid to Haiti won't save Gaza
By Akiva Eldar
Who said we are shut up inside our Tel Aviv bubble? How many small nations surrounded by enemies set up field hospitals on the other side of the world? Give us an earthquake in Haiti, a tsunami in Thailand or a terror attack in Kenya, and the IDF Spokesman's Office will triumph. A cargo plane can always be found to fly in military journalists to report on our fine young men from the Home Front Command.
Everyone is truly doing a wonderful job: the rescuers, searching for survivors; the physicians, saving lives; and the reporters, too, who are rightfully patting them all on the back. After Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon became the face we show the world, the entire international community can now see Israel's good side.
But the remarkable identification with the victims of the terrible tragedy in distant Haiti only underscores the indifference to the ongoing suffering of the people of Gaza. Only a little more than an hour's drive from the offices of Israel's major newspapers, 1.5 million people have been besieged on a desert island for two and a half years. Who cares that 80 percent of the men, women and children living in such proximity to us have fallen under the poverty line? How many Israelis know that half of all Gazans are dependent on charity, that Operation Cast Lead created hundreds of amputees, that raw sewage flows from the streets into the sea?

How much is an Arab brain worth exactly?
By Salaam Abdul Khaliq, IFN Columnist
A popular Israeli joke goes like this: Shlomo heads to the marketplace to buy a brain and finds a vendor selling a Jewish brain and an Arab brain. But to his shock and dismay, the Arab brain is 50 times more expensive. “This is not right,” exclaims Shlomo indignantly. “Shouldn’t the Jewish brain be more expensive?” The vendor grins and matter-of-factly says, “No. The Arab brain is barely used.”
This joke was put to the test when Israeli president Shimon Perez visited Egypt in November and told Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak that Israel’s government and people were standing by Egypt’s side in its row with Algeria. And what exactly happened between Egypt and Algeria to warrant political support from the Zionist state and its Nobel Laureate/War Criminal president? If you haven’t heard about what happened between the two North African Arab/Muslim countries, you should kick yourself because you have not only been living under a rock, but also have missed out on the most exciting event in recent Arab and Islamic history. Two brotherly countries came within a hair of severing diplomatic relations over ... (you need to sit down for this) … a soccer game!!!

Neturei-Karta: JUDAISM UNADULERATED
By Abdussalam Mohamed
Neturei-Karta is Aramaic for "Guardians of the City." It is also the name of an Orthodox movement that defines itself by opposing Zionism and the state of Israel. The group makes a point of publicly demonstrating their position, which they claim represents the position of the Torah and authentic unadulterated Judaism. Neturei-Karta was founded in Jerusalem in 1938 for the purpose of fighting Zionism. The group believes that the rest of Orthodox Jews sold out to the "Golden-Calf" of Zionism by embracing its ideology that is built on dispossessing the Palestinians and occupying their land. Many followers of the group are still being persecuted by the Israeli authorities for their political views. They firmly believe that Israel should be peacefully abolished and the land returned to the Palestinians. Neturei-Karta’s Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss spoke to InFocus.
InFocus: Rabbi, can you please introduce yourself to our readers?
Rabbi Weiss: My name is Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, spokesperson for Jews United Against Zionism, also known as Neturei-Karta. This is a group that opposed Zionism when its followers started going en mass to the land of Palestine in the 1930s. Jews were opposed to the concept of a political Judaism; the whole concept of Zionism was new to the Jewish religion and the religious community opposed it because it tainted Judaism. Arabs and Jews co-existed in Palestine for hundreds of years, and the advent of Zionism was a threat to this peaceful co-existence and that is why religious Jews in Palestine stood up against it.

Gideon Levy: Only psychiatrists can explain Israel's behavior
Our wild world of crime has recently been sent for observation. From the bodyguard of the IDF Chief of Staff to the killers of their own children - all have been sent for observation. The time has come, as is the custom around here, to send the country for observation, too. Maybe with ongoing treatment from specialists, the diagnosis that will save us can be made.
They should explain how the state prosecutor can announce his intention to expropriate more privately-owned Palestinian land at the settlement of Ofra - the "largest illegal settlement in the territories" (in the words of the defense minister's adviser on settlement issues) - when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in his address at Bar-Ilan University last year, explicitly committed not to do so, and President Shimon Peres did more of the same in a meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

Was Israel's Gaza offensive worth it?
By Gideon Levy
Today offers us an ironic conjuncture of commemorations: the fast of the 10th of the Hebrew month of Tevet and the first anniversary of Operation Cast Lead. On the day of the fast, which commemorates the Babylonian siege on Jerusalem, few Israelis are thinking about Gaza, under Israeli blockade for twice the time ancient Jerusalem was besieged. On the anniversary of the attack on Gaza, few people are doing any real soul-searching.
One way or another, the year since December 27 was a year of shame for Israel, greater shame than any other time. It is shameful to be Israeli today, much more than it was a year ago. In the final tally of the war, which was not a war but a brutal assault, Israel's international status was dealt a severe blow, in addition to Israeli indifference and public blindness to what happened in Gaza.
Even those who still believe that the attack was justified and necessary, that the firing of Qassam rockets would not have been halted except by such a cruel attack, cannot ignore the political and moral price extracted from Israel because of its violence. Its image in the world, not in the eyes of its citizens, is much uglier than a year ago.

Is a nuclear Iran a threat to the world?
By Salaam Abdul Khaliq, IFN Columnist
OK, so the international community seems to be all ganged up against Iran to prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Albeit the Islamic republic has consistently stressed that its nuclear reactors are only meant for peaceful purposes, the West and Israel are not buying. With recent claims of fraud in the presidential election and Iran’s heavy-handed response against the protesters, things don’t look good for Iran.
Add to that the fact that Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad does not come across as a likeable guy. Ahmedinejad has supposedly advocated the “wiping off of Israel from the map” (Farsi translators claim that the exact quote was “removal of Israel from the pages of history”).
Everyone’s convinced a nuclear Iran presents a clear and present danger to the world. But does this claim really hold water?

'War criminal go home,' Brazil protesters shout at Peres
By Shuki Sadeh, Haaretz Correspondent
Dozens of protesters in Sao Paulo demonstrated Thursday against President Shimon Peres' visit to Brazil and Israel's actions in Gaza.

Capitalism: A love story
By Salaam Abdul Khaliq, IFN Columnist
Michael Moore’s new film, “Capitalism: A Love Story,” has one the best openings of any documentary in recent history. To draw a parallel between past and present, scenes from the Roman Empire are brilliantly juxtaposed with scenes from present day America.
Images of profligate and corrupt Roman senators are juxtaposed with images of corrupt American politicians. Images of the poor living in the slums are contrasted with images of the rich gorging themselves on food and indulging their senses.

Most advanced, expensive fighter jet headed to Israel
Most advanced, expensive fighter jet headed to Israel
By Amos Harel
The largest defense deal in Israeli history, for the purchase of the F-35 stealth fighter aircraft, is advancing, slowly but surely.
The rounds of talks among the defense establishment, the Pentagon and manufacturer Lockheed-Martin have significantly narrowed the gaps between the parties.
The United States is scheduled to respond next week to Israel's express request for 25 of the jets.
Jerusalem is to reach a final decision by early 2010, and there's a good chance a deal will be signed by the middle of the year.

U.S. arrests ex-NASA scientist over bid to spy for Israel
By Haaretz Service and The Associated Press
A former scientist at the United States' space agency has been arrested on suspicion of attempting to spy for Israel, the U.S. department of Justice announced on Monday.
According to a statement by the department, the suspect, Stewart David Nozette, is a Maryland scientist who once worked in varying capacities for the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The department said Nozette, 52, was contacted via telephone by an individual purporting to be an Israeli intelligence officer, but who was in fact an undercover employee of the FBI (UCE).

Israel rumored behind Honduras coup!
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — A Jewish civil rights organization is expressing alarm over conspiracy theories claiming Jews and Israel aided the ouster of the Honduran president and attempts to dislodge him from his refuge in the Brazilian Embassy.
The U.S.-based Anti-Defamation League cited statements made by ousted President Manuel Zelaya as well as the news director of a radio station that was closed by the interim government in Honduras and by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, among others.
Most of the comments repeat widely circulated rumors that Israeli soldiers – or in some versions, mercenaries – worked with the troops backing interim President Roberto Micheletti, allegedly supplying some form of tear gas used at the embassy and providing other assistance.
The interim government, which came to power after the military arrested Zelaya and flew him to exile in Costa Rico on June 28, has denied receiving any Israeli help or using any tear gas at the embassy. Journalists who have covered the political crisis say they have not seen any sign of Israeli involvement.
The Jewish group also criticized Chavez for claiming at the United Nations that Israel is the only country to recognize the coup-installed government, something Micheletti's administration has denied.
The ADL also cited an interview with The Miami Herald in which Zelaya said that "Israeli mercenaries are torturing him with high-frequency radiation."
"We know from history that at times of turmoil and unrest, Jews are a convenient scapegoat," ADL national director Abraham H. Foxman, said in a statement released Sunday. "And that is happening now in Honduras, a country that has only a small Jewish minority."
The group estimates the Central American country is home to less than 100 families in a population of about 8 million.

Palestinian sources tell Haaretz that Abbas request to halt vote on Gaza war probe was result of U.S. pressure.
The decision by the United Nations Human Rights Council to delay the vote on the findings of its report into the Gaza conflict - in line with a request by the Palestinian Authority - has shocked the Palestinian public.
Click here for more on the Goldstone commission report on the Gaza conflict
Palestinian sources told Haaretz that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas made the decision to delay the vote immediately after meeting with the U.S. Consul General last Thursday, without the knowledge of the PLO leadership or the government of Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, and without any consultation.
The commission which produced the report, headed by South African judge Richard Goldstone, charged both Israel and Hamas with committing war crimes during the three-week operation launched by the Israel Defense Forces in December, in an effort to halt rocket fire from Gaza on its southern communities. Israel has rejected the report and accused Goldstone of having a political agenda.

Disgrace in The Hague
By Gideon Levy
There's a name on every bullet, and there's someone responsible for every crime. The Teflon cloak Israel has wrapped around itself since Operation Cast Lead has been ripped off, once and for all, and now the difficult questions must be faced. It has become superfluous to ask whether war crimes were committed in Gaza, because authoritative and clear-cut answers have already been given. So the follow-up question has to be addressed: Who's to blame? If war crimes were committed in Gaza, it follows that there are war criminals at large among us. They must be held accountable and punished. This is the harsh conclusion to be drawn from the detailed United Nations report.
For almost a year, Israel has been trying to argue that the blood spilled in Gaza was merely water. One report followed the other, with horrifyingly identical results: siege, white phosphorous, harm of innocent civilians, infrastructure destroyed - war crimes in each and every report. Now, after the publication of the most important and damning report of all, compiled by the commission led by Judge Richard Goldstone, Israel's attempts to discredit them look ludicrous, and the empty bluster of its spokespersons sound pathetic.
So far they have focused on the messengers, not their messages: the researcher for Human Rights Watch collects Nazi memorabilia, Breaking the Silence is a business and Amnesty International is anti-Semitic. All cheap propaganda. This time, though, the messenger is propaganda-proof. No one can seriously claim that Goldstone, an active and ardent Zionist, with deep links to Israel, is an anti-Semite. It would be ridiculous.
