How come???? <br /><br />(btw. Tariq Ali who publishes long pieces on Kashmir quite often, does the same. Also he claims in one piece that it is all somehow due to a clandestine visit by Lawrence of Arabia ;-)<br /><br />Silke<br /><br />http://nationalinterest.org/article/batamaloo-4242Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-46120572312385270682010-10-26T14:04:32.056+02:002010-10-26T14:04:32.056+02:00Here's another reason to learn Hebrew and decr...Here's another reason to learn Hebrew and decry the sorry state of today's news organizations:<br />Haaretz published an op-ed by the Education Ministry's pedagogical secretariat, Zvi Zameret, about his ban on the book "Learning The Other's Historical Narrative."<br />http://www.haaretz.co.il/hasite/spages/1195123.html<br /><br />Rather than translate the Zameret's op-ed, Haaretz published an English language op-ed arguing the other side.<br />http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/opinion/the-student-s-right-to-know-1.321191<br /><br />And neither provides a link to the text itself:<br />http://vispo.com/PRIME/leohn1.pdf<br /><br />T34Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-80471055682511021392010-10-26T02:34:18.958+02:002010-10-26T02:34:18.958+02:00According to Ynet, Cambridge University recently h...According to Ynet, Cambridge University recently had a debate regarding whether Israel is a rouge state. The students found in favor of Israel (that Israel is not a rouge state). It apparently started out rough but Israel earned favor when pro-Palestinians pointed out three things. One Israel has a good record on LBGT rights, especially for the region and even by most world standards. Two, Israel gives asylum to Darfurian refugees while Egypt shoots them. Three, Israel sent a senior diplomat to represent it's interests in the debates and it was unthinkable that China, Iran, or even the UK would sent a senior diplomat to such a debate. It went well.Lee Ratnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139895689217213860noreply@blogger.com
