"I regard the absence of any such condemnations from decent governments as the strongest evidence that they did not."
Wonder if you think that the fact that a blogger has just been sentenced to 1,000 lashes and ten years in a Saudia Arabian jail has elicited no protest from "decent countries" means that has it's all been invented - don't wonder really
The only evidence that you have offered in defence of Isreali atrocities is that "decent Governments' have not condemned it EVEN THOUGH THEY ALL HAVE how long are you going to keep up this nonsense?
Until the 7th Cavalry in th form of a bunch of "real historians" and "experts" come to your rescue, no doubt - not going to happen
You have had the example of Israeli atrocities and war crimes and you refuse even to comment on them, let alone deny they happened or justify them - they won't go away either.
"Sabra and Shatilla now over thirty years ago."
There is no moratorium on mass murder - the Isrealis were kidnapping and trying war criminals 60 years after the event, and they were right to do so.
Israel has never been tried for its part in the massacre -the American veto made sure of that.
Regarding yours and others use of 'Antisemitism as a defence for Israel atrocities (you have used it before by the way - on one of the threads on which you were defending the Sabra Shatila massacre, you asked whether I was attacking Israel because I dislikes Jews - maybe the moratorium has run out on that one)
People like yourself, wo use such a defence are implicating every single Jew on Earth in mass murder, war crimes, usurpation of land, use of chemical weapons.... and all the other crimes committed by Israel in the ame of the Jewish people
Antisemitism is the oldest form of hatred - it has been part of life for many, many centuries.
My family fought Antisemitism on the British Streets in the 1930s, some of them were punished by the state with fines and imprisonment for having done so.
Antisemitism is now on the rise again, and it is little wonder; to implicating Jews in Israeli war crimes by claiming that to criticise Israel is to be anti-Jewish is to paint a target on every Jew on the planet
Tese are not "Jewish" crimes, they are crimes of the Israeli regime.
Are you going to tell us that the several dozen or so examples of Israeli atrocities are fakes, or whether you believe they are justifed.
Come on, don't be shy, then you can com out from hiding behind non-existent "decent countries
