Reply #32: I don't really have an opinion about it.

I haven't read it, I don't expect that I will read it, so it would be silly for me to have opinions about it's quality.

I will say that since the Israeli government refused to participate, the argument from "fairness" is weakened, since they themselves refused to hold up their side of the argument.

I will say that there is nothing fair about the situation, the treatment of Palestinians is certainly not fair; if Israelis were really all that interested in fairness, I would think it would carry over into their treatment of Palestinians and Israeli Arabs. In any case I think Israelis have no more expectation of fairness than Palestinians, and it appears to me that means not much expectation of fairness at all. So sue me. It's not my doing, any of it.
