University Protests against the Israeli Incursion into Palestine

[Leonardo17]

I just listened to the speech of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the US Congress (allegedly his 4t speech there / and it is a privilege: not every foreign politician gets to address the US Congress). It wasn’t a bad performance either. I think the man has a point on many issues. I was also impressed by the overall enthusiasm of the audience. The simple fact is: there is no other approach toward what is pure and simple Barbary.
 
The nuance I would add to this is: Israel / Netanyahu himself (+ the US of course) did everything to destroy the secular PLO and promote (some people say radical- Islamists other say barbaric) Hamas terror group just to have a pretext to do exactly what they are doing right now in Gaza and in the West Bank.
 
I will even be a little Chomsky-like on that and add that many foreign powers were and are still involved with those “radical Islam” entities like the IRI and this in turn is coming back and biting these very same entities (Like Bin Laden being trained by the CIA and using everything he learned to kill Americans in 9/11).
 
So I have to disagree with Netanyahu’s view on Pro-Palestinian Protesters. I don’t think these guys are anti-Semite + they are definitely not “Backed by Iran”. IRI spoke persons are no different than Putin on this respect. Putin could be on Rossiya 1 right now saying beautiful things about us right now, I don’t think it would mean anything to anyone.
 
Besides, Mr. Netanyahu is a controversial figure even within Israel. I personally don’t think he understands that long-term peace is simply too difficult without a permanent, secular and democratic Palestinian State that is not being permanently harassed by the IDF and extremely radicalized Jewish settlers. But we all have our opinions right?
