What you are essentially saying is that the way to combat the anti-Israel antisemites is to adopt the failed Yachad approach of 'admitting that Israel is really bad but maybe not bad enough to be called rogue and have to be destroyed completely'. After watching the video - and Wiesfeld's disgraceful performance (it is difficult to know whether she is speaking for or against the motion) I now see that your article is worse than just poor. <br /><br />Hope you read this - I don't do twitter.Confronting antisemitism and Israel hatredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15194461954508969242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15072098.post-65723172965347448172015-03-25T19:13:47.403+00:002015-03-25T19:13:47.403+00:00Daphne

Listening to Wiesfeld it really is difficult to know whether she is speaking for or against the motion. She actually does a very good job for the Palestinians. As for Wineman - well I've seen him give this kind of presentation before and it is weak and defensive; you would have thought someone would have told him by now that it is not actually helpful to our case to stress that Palestinians regard Jews as invaders and aliens to the land.

Remember these are the guys who actually campaigned (successfully) to stop some of the best pro-Israel speakers in the world coming to the UK (Spencer and Geller) and when they could not stop the ZF from bringing another one into the UK (Mordechai Keder) they managed to stop almost all his planned talks (including every school talk).Confronting antisemitism and Israel hatredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15194461954508969242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15072098.post-5057326030813890882015-03-16T15:56:37.023+00:002015-03-16T15:56:37.023+00:00How many times can the community call on Douglas M...How many times can the community call on Douglas Murray to provide a robust response .
