What is there to debate? If an article is posted that is complimentary to the Israelis, right away you and your sidekick are there to put the author down. Let's see your credentials for being such big scholars. I would love to see you or your sidekick in the public arena debating this man. It really is like Laurel and Hardy or Abbott and Costello time reading the posts of both of you making out that one or the other of you is better than the invention of sliced bread because you know it all and are better than the author of an article who is no doubt an expert in his field. Carry on with your skit. I am sure you will have many more opportunities as various articles are posted. Who can debate with such "geniuses" as these two?? It is quite impossible!!! I wonder in what field of study they received their PhDs.
Try to pay attention to what I am saying...
Tnere are many people with equal or better credentials whose opinions difer from MacEoin.
His editorial article has the extraordinary flaw of ignoring the past history of both peoples. Like it or not, Israel is a young European/Western country in a Mideastern Muslim world that was exploited by that same European/Western world and I could go on...and on and on. His attitude towards these people is not unlike the European/Western attitude towards the African people during the age of colinization and the time of the slave trade, tweaaked for the 20th century.
As for Patrick's or my "genius". You don't know anything about us first of all but at least we can think for ourselves and argue the points of the article rather than just taking the expertise, or lack thereof, of the author at ace value.
So, how in the world does one such as you who seems to value above anything else the credentials and resume of an author deal with those with equal or better credentials with the opposite opinion.
