Comments on: Fact- and Law-Checking the Wall Street Journal and Alan Dershowitz http://dissidentvoice.org/2009/01/fact-and-law-checking-the-wall-street-journal-and-alan-dershowitz-2/ a radical newsletter in the struggle for peace and social justice Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:26:56 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: The Scarlet Pimpernel http://dissidentvoice.org/2009/01/fact-and-law-checking-the-wall-street-journal-and-alan-dershowitz-2/#comment-36090 The Scarlet Pimpernel Sun, 11 Jan 2009 18:00:43 +0000 http://www.dissidentvoice.org/?p=5968#comment-36090 I see a problem with some of Prof. Dershowitz's advice to the state of Israel. He ignores the Rules of the Geneva Convention in his definition of targeting individuals as well as the strictures of the Charter of the United Nations. Maybe the time has come to take the State of Israel up on the job offer, as his skills in logic seem to be diminishing and his vocabulary seems to also be declining. When the only thing you can say to counter someone's arguments is that they are 'White Trash' or a Neo-Nazi, that indicates that you HAVE no logical counter to their arguments so you resort to the ultimate refuge of a scoundrel (or someone whose dementia has begun): the ad hominem attack.

even if israel wld treat palestinians according to internat’l laws.
and even if neutral observes testify to that.
but israel, according to numerous reports, is perping many crimes which many people have enumerated and described in detail.

the laws were written, i deduce, having in mind, a conflict btw more or less two equally strong econo-military-diplomatic belligerents.
thus any law written that tends to punish such weaklings as palestinians is, to me, extremely immoral.
