I suggest you attack them for the colour of their hair.
Regarding Carl and Leigh, congratulations for 50 years. And no doubt
they all said it wouldn't last .

Hi Mort,
Is that a qualified "yes"? Anyway, thanks for both the compliment and
the critique. If you ask me which leaders/citizens are more responsible
for the assault on Gaza, Israel or the U.S., my answer would be "yes".
I think that Chomsky gave a decent accounting of himself yesterday on Z
in responding to the critical responses to his article on BDS. I think
that this is, unfortunately, a movement over a very long term, and more
near the beginning than the end. I think he has some wise words that put
things in evolutionary perspective, especially vis a vis S. Africa.
But on tomorrow's show I'll take every opportunity to be disagreeable
with my colleagues, even if I have to resort to criticizing their
wardrobes.
Best,
David

I’ve listened to this program, and come to the conclusion that you
all, the three participants, agree with each other too much, as if
everything that is said between you is unchallengeable. It is not.
Especially annoying is the seeming worship of the god Chomsky, who
(I think) is losing his way on important issues, especially with
regard to the desirable two state solution in Israel-Palestine. I
would rather defer here to Ilan Pappe. Chomsky is doing a disservice
to those trying, e.g., via BDS, to punish the Israelis as long as
they oppress the Palestinians. There is even the implication that
BDS could only lead to a neoliberal result in »Palestine », as it
has in S.A. There are other facets of the remarks that are less
than clear or convincing, some bordering on boilerplate in its
repetitiousness, IMO. For example, as to who is wagging whose tail,
U.S. or Israel; the issue is more complex than statements that the
U.S. is more responsible for Israel’s actions than Israel itself,
which borders on nonsense.
But withal, the program is stimulating, worthwhile, and on the whole
admirable.
