19. The problem is that Burston's target attacked Pal'n leadership, not all Palestinians.

You'll note that not once did Burston ever respond to Isi Liebler's criticism of Hamas or the PA. And let's face it, many of Israel's harshest critics avoid ever criticizing Hamas or the PA. It's not PC...

So Burston created his own strawman against Liebler and attacked that strawman. Yay for him....

Good response by Liebler. Burston deflects from criticizing Pal'n leadership. n/t shira Sep 2016 #9

After reading both the OP by Bradley Burston and the first one by Isi Leibler, Little Tich Sep 2016 #8

We have different views on what constitutes racism. Little Tich Sep 2016 #17

Mondoweiss & Gideon Levy attack Jews, not merely an ideology or country. shira Sep 2016 #22

If racism is about targeting a person or group due to their ethnicity, I want you.... shira Sep 2016 #34
