This should be posted all over universities and public forums everywhere. Along with the CBC documentary "What's With the Jews?"

Thank you, Eduardo

As always. You offer valuable information. I did not know about the multiple refusals by Palestinians have their state. Maybe you could elaborate on that topic. Best !

n 2000, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak met at Camp David, with Palestinian Liberation Organization Chairman Nasser Arafat, to conclude a new two-state plan. Barak offered Arafat a Palestinian state in all of Gaza, and 94% of the West Bank, with East Jerusalem as its capital. But the Palestinian leader rejected the offer.

In the words of U.S. President Bill Clinton, “Arafat was here 14 days and said no to everything.”

Instead, the Palestinians launched a bloody wave of suicide bombings that killed over 1,000 Israelis and maimed thousands more, on buses, in wedding halls, and in pizza parlors.

Rejection number five.

In 2008, Israel tried yet again. Prime Minister Ehud Omar went even further than Ehud Barak had, expanding the peace offer to include additional land to sweeten the deal. Like his predecessor, the new Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas, turned the deal down.

Would point out that the current debate and distinctions between antisemitism and antizionism in a time of great violence in the region are more related to the continuing international support of Palestinian rights most notably in a 2 state solution favored at the UN and not opposition to Israel's existence which is fully recognized by the UN and regardless of lost past peace security opportunities for a settlement. Both different from traditional right wing Nazi religious ethnic anti Jewish antisrmitism. Israel lobby has good propaganda reasons to. try to conflate pro Palestinianism with antisemitism, but this does not stand up to analysis and may in turn create a certain antiPal racism and more islamophobia.

Sorry George. I simply point to the antisemitic hatredwe are seeing on the streets of Canada to make my point.
