14. It is anti-Zionist, not anti-Semitic. Bernie Morris defends ethnic cleansing as a necessary measure

to achieve a Jewish state. The wiki entry I linked to provides ample documentation of his extremist views, shocking positions, in fact. His theory blaming Palestinians for the holocaust, “directly and indirectly” is alone discrediting.
Is Miko Peled banned? Norman Finkelstein?
I could have provided other sources that establish that Palestinians were victims of ethnic cleansing, driven out of their lands and homes to become permanent refugees, and are an occupied people.
I, however, refuse to debate with anyone who subscribes to Morris’s beliefs.
If any source should be banned in a discussion of the conflict, it is a Bernie Morris.
Is the group Jewish Voice for Peace anti-Semitic?
What about the journal Mondoweiss online?
J Street?
End of.
I leave it to admin.
I certainly do not think Morris is a credible or sane source for any discussion.
Miko Peled, not a scholar, but an avid researcher, is featured in Youtube videos lectures about what he, the grandson of an Israeli state founder, son of a General during the six day war, former Israeli soldier, discovered about state founding myths.
It must be understood that any scholarship that counters the official story is not represented in mainstream American media. Norman Finkelstein could not get his most recent book about Gaza reviewed by the NYT and was labeled as pro-Palestinian for his challenges to the hard right wing in Israel and his writings about the plight of the Palestinian people. Dershowitz called him “not a real Jew,” despite the fact that both his parents are concentration camp survivors.
