Joel Schalit wrote: > Regarding the rest of your post: Lerner has supported divestment actually - see Tikkun's March/April and June/July issues from 2005. so that's something you should check. Michael Lerner used to be a critic of calls for divestment, but changed his position over the last two years. Joel, I would be very interested in seeing how the Rebbi frames his support for divestment against Israel(especially in light of his attacks on just such initiatives recently). Yet, for those w ...

424 [lbo-talk] Call up of thousands of reservists for a ground invasion -- rank: 1000

Shit, I just heard on the radio that they were going to be sending thousands of reserve call up notices. For a couple days already there were a few thousand Israeli soldiers in southern lebanon, and the Israeli media was keeping their numbers from us. Now, with the call up of reserves, they can't keep the level of what is going on from us anymore, and that means that the real ground invasion is about to begin. --------------------------------------------- http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/7413 ...

433 [lbo-talk] Benny Morris on Hamas -- rank: 1000

Benny has been this way for a significant amount of time. He hasn't moved rightwards (definitely not any more than he was of late, and not so far removed as one would think from what he always was.) He has shifted some on what to do about the Palestinian situation, not so much on his assessment of the Palestinian people. For more on the subject, an old post of mine from 2001: http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/2001/2001-December/027611.html and 2003: http://archives.econ.utah.edu/archives/marxism/2003w ...
