Thread Name: BS: Irshad Manji on the wall
Subject: RE: BS: Irshad Manji on the wall
I don't need to refute Manji's article. Neta Golan does a much better job of it than I could ever do. Neta Golan is a Jewish Israeli who is married to a Palestinian and who lives in the West Bank. She lives with the reality of the wall every day, and because of this, she has far more credibility on this subject than Irshad Manji. Needless to say, Neta Golan is against the wall.

Neta Golan is living proof that the Palestinians don't want to kill the Jews, that the Palestinians don't want to drive the Jews into the sea, and that what the Palestinians want is to be left alone by Israel so they can live their lives in peace.

Justin Podur, author of the article in the first link I posted, is also Jewish, and he has spent a lot more time in the occupied Palestinian areas than Irshad Manji.
