Dershowitz clearly has no qualms about propogandizing against the palestinian people. He is enraged by President Carter's new book. It is scary how much the anti-palestinian forces in America reflect the mind of President Bush. Ignore reality, Create your own reality, sell it to politicians, sell it to the public, all the while avoiding reality.
Lets look beneath the surface of his claims.
Israel has repeatedly offered to end its occupation of areas it captured in a defensive war in exchange for peace and full recognition.
When did Israel offer this? In Sharon's plan there was no offer of a palestinian state
Olmert's plan is basically the same. The genesis of the plan is remove settlers from Gaza, create more settlements in the West Bank on better land, Annex parts of Palestinian territory into Israel and leave the Palestinians whatever is left over.
Israel's motive for holding on to this land is the prevention of terrorism.
. He is clearly blinded by passion if he really believes this. Religious extremists clearly have a role. Economic development is clearly a factor. Access to water is clearly a factor.
How does civillian settlements, many of which are on built on private palestinian land, prevent terrorism?
It has repeatedly offered to exchange land for peace and did so in Gaza
No. The plan was to exchange land in Gaza for better land in the west bank, not for peace.
I lack the time to thoroughly investigate and respond to all his claims, but it is clear he is blinded, lost in a world of fantasy, instead of living in the real world. The pro occupation, pro settlement, pro torture Mr. Dershowitz has alot in common with Mr. Bush.
