Mohsen Mahdawi is bully's latest choice for arbitrary expulsion

Mohsen Mahdawi, the bully's latest choice for arbitrary expulsion for supposedly hampering the bully's plans for peace between Israel and Palestine. (Comparing this claim with the actions of the US suggests that, for the US, "peace" for Palestinians means "the peace of the grave".)

Here Israeli student Mikey Baratz, who works with Mahdawi to make real peace possible, refutes that accusation.

You could hardly imagine clearer proof that the magats are using the Big Lie method.

We must take care to resist the mind-set of all-out conflict which can blind people to tactics that can make the world worse even when used for a cause that is basically valid. Like Baratz, I have felt that the movement to end the bombardment and siege of Gaza and defend Palestinians' rights often goes too far — to the point of demanding to annex and abolish Israel. A demand for annexation is as wrong in one direction as it is in the other.

My criticism of that excess is in no way meant to excuse Israel's atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank, which are enormous crimes that call for prosecution.
