One comment: Shir Hever, who is an economic researcher here at the AIC (and if anything comes from the Nitzanian/Bichlerian school of political economy) did the interview with Jonathan Nitzan, and took a purposefully naive positioning in his questions.

274 [lbo-talk] Negotiations on long-term ceasefire with Hamas should be considered -- rank: 1000

Dror Ze'evi was head of the Department of Middle East Studies at Ben Gurion University in the Negev while I did my MA there. (http://web2.bgu.ac.il/MidEast/working/Weboard/staff.asp?lecture= zeevi) Definitely not a radical leftist, but he is rational and realistic about these issues. You may remember Dror from an article he wrote a while ago in response to the Benny Morris screed (who is also at BGU) about Iran.

The Situation in Palestine: A Trap of Miserable Choices and Dead Ends Written by Nassar Ibrahim, Alternative Information Center (AIC) With the events that have been taking place in the Gaza Strip and the depths to which they reached, the Palestinian tragedy has moved to the level of farce.

278 [lbo-talk] just wondering...about a missing post -- rank: 1000

Yah, you know the one thing I forgot about was the archives. It was just strange to me, because I checked my own spam and junk folders...plus the mail server filters on the AIC server, and it wasn't there... So I don't know what happened to it from my end... But my blindspot was forgetting about the archives... I often look on the archives for stuff, but it just didn't occur to me in this case...duh...now it seems obvious... Oh well... thanks, Bryan Jordan Hayes wrote: >> I sent a reply to ...

Hi, Since I see the Halutz article arrived to the list... I wonder...a few days ago I sent a reply to Colin Brace and Doug on the Benny Morris issue, but it didn't arrive as far as I could tell, so I sent it again and I never saw it... Did anyone receive it? I don't want to multiple post, so I was hesitant to send it again. Thanks Bryan

I don't know about that...seems like a no brainer to me on this one. Morris' 'illogical' melodrama is almost definitely with intention to promote a preemptive strike on Iran. My question is more, why in Engl ...

The Nazis, of course, industrialized mass murder. But still, the perpetrators had one-on-one contact with the victims. They may have dehumanized them over months and years of appalling debasement and in their minds, before the actual killing. But, still, they were i ...
