Professors Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer have been invited to speak at Hebrew University. They will continue to pedal their bigoted drivel about the iron grip, the Jewish lobby - which they call the "Israel Lobby," in capital letters - holds over American foreign policy. They will claim, as they did in their previous writings, that Israel's birth was an original sin and crime, that Israel holds the moral low ground, and that if the cause of Israel were in any way deserving of American support, it would not need a lobby. They don't make similar claims about the powerful Saudi lobby or the numerous other lobbies that have been part of America since the days of Thomas Jefferson. If just causes did not need lobbies, then it would follow that the causes of civil rights, civil liberties, gay rights, environmental rights, the rights of the elderly, etc. would all be unjust since each of them has high-powered and effective lobbies.

Article 51 of the United Nations Charter guarantees its members "the inherent right to...individual self defense" against "an armed attack." In January 2006, Hamas was elected to govern the Palestinian Authority. After Israel ended its occupation of Gaza and removed all of its settlers, Hamas threw the Palestinian Authority out of the Gaza and assumed de facto as well as de jure control over the entire Gaza Strip. Its leaders then instructed its military wing to direct rockets at civilian targets in southern Israel. At first these rockets were Kassams with a relatively short range. Now they include Katyushas, which can reach Israel's large cities, including Ashkelon, with its population of 120,000 civilians. Hamas has officially declared that its policy is to develop or smuggle even longer range missiles capable of reaching Israel's largest city Tel Aviv and its lifeblood, Ben Gurion Airport. It has promised to keep aiming its missiles at civilian targets until the Jewish state is finally destroyed.

Daniel in TX: Dershowitz criticizing Finkelstein's scholarship is like the hunchback of Notre Dame criticizing someone's posture.
Dan, TEXAS: Finkelstein is to be ignored. On the odd occation when it is actually published in a periodical or article that is actually read, it needs to be put in its place. What a schmuk. Indeed, I totally agree with Mr. Leaf who suggests that you sue him for defamation - that will bankrupt it completely.
Martin Leaf F.Hills: Alan, just sue him for defamation. That will bankrupt him financially. He is already bankrupt morally. I will volunteer to help. Otherwise you are giving him more attention than he is worth and it makes you look petty. We have bigger fish to fry. Like Ahmedinijad.
The Fink is just a typical sociopath, begging for attention, that criminal defense attorneys see all the time.
