anyone who feels that they have a lock on what is right and wrong in the Middle East” doesn’t know what they’re talking about and “needs to read a book.”

(Mind you, that this was simply in response to "free Palestine")

So Irving Shaw is defending genocide with Israeli talking points that Dershowitz has used. He's apparently educated about it and the entire Human Rights Community is not.

A long read but worthwhile for people interested:
