Targeting Stephen Hawking and Dustin Hoffman: Right-wing 'pro-Israel' advocacy as hate speech Increasingly, the rabid far-right 'pro-Israel' camp is carrying out repulsive, hate-filled attacks on Jews whose most cherished wish is to see a stronger, more democratic Israel. It is time to take a stand
As predicted the ritual condemnation is underway.
Fair use excerpt:
"I have a suggestion," Plaut wrote on Wednesday, in a reference to the wheelchair-bound noted scientist, and to a 1985 incident in which Palestinian gunmen commandeered an Italian cruise ship, murdering a disabled American Jewish passenger and throwing his body overboard:
"I suggest that the people of Israel send Hawking for a free trip on the Achille Lauro!!"
So incitement to murder is the natural response of Jews over such trivia.
Burston of course takes a realistic point of view, that saying things like that are counter productive. They should not be said because it is bad PR for Israel but he goes no further than that.
The rituals must be performed. The curses must be laid.
