<http://www.tnr.com/doc.mhtml?i=w070528&s=chomskydershowitz060107> Correspondence Match Point by Alan Dershowitz & Noam Chomsky Noam Chomsky: It is always intriguing to see just how far Alan Dershowitz will go in his efforts to conceal the fact that Norman Finkelstein exposed him as a vulgar and fraudulent apologist for Israeli human rights violations--carefully, judiciously, with extensive documentation ("Taking the Bait,", May 21).

11313 [lbo-talk] FT on Israel boycott -- rank: 1000
Boycotts and resolutions - which Yoshie has elsewere denounced as "resolutionary socialism" - are meaningless as long as the U.S. subsidizes, arms, and protects Israel.

11316 [lbo-talk] Strip and flip at Chrysler? -- rank: 1000
On Jun 1, 2007, at 1:23 AM, Steven L. Robinson quoted Labor Notes: > Wohlfarth said he hopes the UAW will use this opportunity to start > organizing in other parts of manufacturing to stave off or slow down > concessions. This is what Labor Notes always says, but the U.S. auto industry is broke and dying. Where's the money supposed to come from to "stave off or slow down concessions"?
