Artbrooks: Huh? New York is still not majority Jewish.

And anyway, asking for the UN to leave NY because of Jews is precisely the kind of thing these people wouldn't do. If you wish to pursue an anti-Semitic agenda, the stupidest thing you could do would be to fight over something irrelevant like the location of the UN building. Instead you'd try to...I don't know, destroy Israel?

Like you said, this should not devolve into a discussion of Israel/Palestine.

Pied Piper, Sabra and Chatila had nothing to do with torture, and as you no doubt know, the perpetrators of the massacres there were Lebanese Christians whose Militia had been put together by the elected president of Lebanon. Isreali forces has sealed in the camps and were waiting outside.

Of course, all the blame goes to Israel. Nobody says "those Lebanese Christians are oppressors of the Palestinians."   Funny, that's precisely the point being made by Ms. Bayefsky.
