Actually, Lee Kaplan disguised himself as a Pakistani in order to get into an ISM organizational meeting and the Duke University Hate-Against-Israel conference. He did so as an undercover journalist. His articles are posted on www.frontpagemag.com

The "Arabs" I had on three successive shows were Walid Shoebat, a Palestinian Arab. And Nonie Darwish, a naturalized Arab-American who grew up in Gaza. Steve Argue would like to say I don't have the Palestinian viewpoint represented on my show, but in reality I just don't have HIS Palestinian viewpoint on my show. Not all Palestinians agree with Steve Argue.

Many Indyreaders also know that I have had Steve Argue on my show several times in the past as well. Does that make me a racist?

re: George's interview with Shimri Zamarit and Noam Bahat. First I note these young men are high school students. They are certainly idealistic and fervent in their cause, but as high school students, they simply don't have the depth, the experience, or the accumulated knowledge that many older people have.

The letter George read was signed by 300 "draft age" students. Hence, they really weren't Israeli refuseniks. All but five of them were just students signing a petition. Contrast this against the size of the Israeli army and reservists (186,500 troops and 30,000 reservists).

Do the math. That means 0% of the actual Israelis serving in the army or reserves signed the petition George read.

Peace IS possible writes about how articulate these young men are. Here is an example:
Shimri Zamarit: "(Israel is)using them (the Palestinians) also to get benefits from other places by the fact that whenever they want to get some support from some other making some small progress to peace, this is kind of what I meant."

Geez, was that articulate or what???

As for Noam Bahat, he wants a two-state solution as a preliminary so "people can stop dying and there is more freedom and democracy."

Of course the Palestinians have turned down an independent state every time its been offered.

And the reason people are dying is the Arabs keep attacking Israel and the Jews (and Israel defends itself from these attacks). As for freedom and democracy, the best example of a government in the mideast where these exist is in Israel. In the PA, they vote every 9 years for a five-year term of office. Opposition candidates get shot. Only PA approved reports are allowed on PA TV and news media. Women are routinely murdered by honor killings, which are rarely prosecuted. Gays can not "come out". And those who advocate publically to make peace with Israel are publically lynched in the streets as a gruesome reminder to anyone else who favors peace with Israel.

Oh, and Abu Mazen,who was just elected? He was the money-man who paid the terrorists who murdered the Israeli Olympics team in Munich. His masters degree is from his thesis on holocaust denial. He called Israel the "Zionist enemy" the other day, and was carried on the shoulders of wanted criminals from the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.

This is the kind of "freedom" and "democracy" Steve Argue, Noam Bahat, and Jake would have imposed on Israel.

His second phase is to "abolish racism" which is a fine goal and one I support, but as the old saying goes --easier said than done.
