#1 Best part of the article:
Formerly married to a Jew, Honderich brushes aside allegations that he is anti-Semitic.

WOW, guess you cant argue with that! :O

#2 so if al-jizz is such a fair and balanced news outlet, how come they don't ever ever publish articles that condemn pali terror?

.....cuz it's simply a mouthpiece of the arab world and leftist apologists.

#3 However, defining "neo-Zionism" as the movement to expand Israel outside its pre-1967 borders, he condemns some Israeli policy today as an "ongoing rapacity of ethnic cleansing, the violation of the remaining homeland of the remaining Palestinians".

This quote is the only gem in the piece. 1.)RBs-Are his claims of "ethnic cleansing" outside the 1967 borders accurate? 2.) As Honderich is speaking out for what the Palestinians want, is Israeli acceptance of and adherence to the 1967 borders his exact line in the sand behind which Palestinian terror will no longer be morally justified?

I guess I have to learn a bit more about this, but I understood from many comments on Rantburg that pre-determining borders before negotiations was unacceptable; or is it only unacceptable for one side, i.e.,the Israelis and construction of the controversial wall?

#4 Terrorizing Jooos is morally justified and encouraged. Just ask Allah.

#5 Honderich: Palestinian terror morally justified

It's just slightly ironic that only someone who is entirely bereft of any moral compass could make such a claim.

#7 .)RBs-Are his claims of "ethnic cleansing" outside the 1967 borders accurate?

Ethnic cleansing as the word was used wrt to alleged (i put alleged to avoid starting a flamewar here) Serb atrocities in Kosovo, such as taking folks out back and shooting them to encourage the rest to flee, and then putting them on trains to the border. No.

The loony left seems to use the term ethnic cleansing for any Israeli act on the West bank they dont like - tearing down somebodys olive trees is "ethnic cleansing, if its done by Israelis.

At some time in the late '70s there may have been some in the Israeli govt who hoped to see arab pop in the West bank decline - that COULD be seen as explaining Israeli support for expanded higher education for West Bank pals, who had few good career opportunities using such education in the West bank, but many such opportunities in SA and Kuwait. But overeducating people to encourage emigration is harldy the usual definition of ethnic cleansing, and was pretty much given up after the oil price collapse in the 80s sent Pals home from the gulf.

there is a minority on the far right of Israeli politics who would like to see Ethnic cleansing but theyre a small minority.
