Reply #34: i dont like hyperbole... i thinks its counterproductive...

if israel is not committing genocide, making concentration camps, engaging in extreme ethnic cleansing, apartheid, segregation, starving the gazans etc...but instead is using limited violence, checkpoints, walls etc to occupy and control the Palestinians, the conflict takes on a whole different perspective...one that isnt extreme and the israels arent pseudo nazis....

and it makes me and people like me a little more willing to be less defensive and offensive...

your going to honestly tell me you believed there was no difference between dislike and hate?...i find that rather hard to believe.

but more interesting.....
finkelstein isnt an israeli..hence there is no "political censorship"....and what does that mean anyway?...does that mean politicians cant read his writing hear him speak (that super israeli power again?...or perhaps that if he does become a politician than his writing and talks will be censored in israel?....(i find that rather hard to believe..got any precedents?....- i doubt it...)

so how does "political censorship work?....what exactly is being censored?
