[Peace-discuss] revocation of Salaita's job offer

[Roger Helbig via Peace-discuss]

Carl,

You are a mindless opponent of Israel and defender of Hamas - any lie
that agrees with your preconceived ideas is fine with you and you make
up your own as well - Israel is not a stationary aircraft carrier - no
US military aircraft have ever operated from Israel - we have no US
military aircraft or forces based in Israel.  Get the facts first,
then put your finger on the keyboard.

Roger
