 <title>Hoffmans deletions</title>
 <link>http://www.thejc.com/blogs/ben-f/hoffmans-deletions</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Jonathan Hoffman recently posted his Middlesex University blog. In order to hide from view the comments that pointed out the inaccuracies in his statements he is repeatedly deleting and reposting the blog in order that the comments disappear. As one blogger commented. &quot; What a baby &quot;&lt;/p&gt;

This abject fear is only explainable as the behaviour of a man cracking under the strain of relentless 24 hour self promotion.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us not be too judgmental&lt;br /&gt;

Has he done it again? He really is determined to silence all opposition. Just like the old time far right of centre.&lt;/p&gt;

Hoff did you not know that vice chancellors are able to read, it is a primary qualification for the job. They are therefore well able to see that when you say the EUMC definition says this or that you are porkie pieing.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;See how easy it would be to get this occupation ended.  &lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;&#039;Jonathan is a good friend and ALLY who WAS NOT AFRAID TO STAND ALONGSIDE US outside Ahava. He is someone who will do what others only think and is a true Zionist. The ones who are against Jonathan are the real anti-semites.&#039;&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;.......he has also written an extensive op-ed in the New York Times which disproves the claim which you have made that Israel is an Apartheid State. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don&#039;t get over excited.  I&#039;m sure he will change his mind.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Sailing&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;New flotilla &#039;headed toward Gaza&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
Published today (updated) 02/11/2011 19:43 &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fishermen are seen working near the coast of the Mediterranean Sea,&lt;br /&gt;
near Gaza City (MaanImages/Wissam Nassar, File)&lt;br /&gt;
BETHLEHEM (Ma&#039;an) -- A flotilla carrying medication is bound for the Gaza Strip after quietly departing a Mediterranean port, activists announced on Wednesday. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Canadian Tahrir and the Irish Saoirse are carrying 27 people from nine countries, organizers said. The ships are carrying a symbolic cargo of $30,000 in medication. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ships were in international waters Wednesday and hoping to reach Gaza by Friday. They set sail from Fethiye, Turkey, according to activists on board the two ships. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &quot;Freedom Waves to Gaza&quot; kept the voyage secret until now due to accusations in July that Israel tried to sabotage a previous effort, the activists said in a statement Wednesday. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Israel&#039;s actions in extending its illegal blockade all the way to shores of Greece required that we organize this new effort quietly,&quot; the Canadian Boat to Gaza wrote on its Twitter account. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US-based news channel Democracy Now posted footage of activists on board the Tahrir. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Israel has caged Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, prohibiting physical contact between us. We want to break the siege Israel has imposed on our people,&quot; said Majd Kayyal, a student from Haifa. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;The fact that we’re in international waters is already a victory for the movement. Israel&#039;s siege of Gaza is untenable and it&#039;s a moral responsibility to put an end to this injustice.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Never afraid </title>
 <link>http://www.thejc.com/blogs/ben-f/never-afraid</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Bertrand Russell was never a man that was afraid to change his mind, in the light of experience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I have come gradually to see that, in a dangerous and largely hostile world, it is essential to Jews to have some country which is theirs, some region where they are not suspected aliens, some state which embodies what is distinctive in their culture.”&lt;br /&gt;
— Bertrand Russell........before the State of Israel was created&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdkBgE8tFRI&amp;amp;feature=related&quot; title=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdkBgE8tFRI&amp;amp;feature=related&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdkBgE8tFRI&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;.....Bertrand Russell&#039;s last word on the topic after witnessing over 20 years of the reality and particularly two and a half years of Israel&#039;s illegal occupation of the territories&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Particularly to the chase is his quoting of Stone&#039;s observation that the hundreds of thousands of  refugees Israel deliberately created is &quot; the moral millstone around the necks of world Jewry.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The return of all the stolen land and property to it&#039;s rightful owners or their rightful heirs is an essential prerequisite for real peace in the region.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Rabbis against idolatry</title>
 <link>http://www.thejc.com/blogs/ben-f/rabbis-against-idolatry</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Rabbis against idolatory&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rL_G_99Y_Us&amp;amp;feature=related&quot; title=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rL_G_99Y_Us&amp;amp;feature=related&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rL_G_99Y_Us&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The most interesting bit, which is something that hadn&#039;t previously occurred to me, is where he says that the least safe place in the world for a modern Jew is the so called safe haven.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is he saying that we Jews have misunderstood the nature of our exile? That it is not exile from a particular patch of mud and dust ( and now concrete ) but exile from God ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please don&#039;t tell me that God gives a flying whatsit about whether we type God with an o in the middle of it or an hyphen. That would be one weird G-d&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&amp;amp;v=9msgL2udHs4&quot; title=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&amp;amp;v=9msgL2udHs4&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&amp;amp;v=9msgL2udHs4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLrjYIMCl_c&amp;amp;feature=related&quot; title=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLrjYIMCl_c&amp;amp;feature=related&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLrjYIMCl_c&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mQAp1OjJcE&amp;amp;feature=related&quot; title=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mQAp1OjJcE&amp;amp;feature=related&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mQAp1OjJcE&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I guess the point is that The State of Israel, especially what this state has become, does not equate to the Jewish people. The State of Israel is NOT the Jewish people. A Jew can demand that it radically changes its ways, even that it ceases to be, and these are legitimate positions. And if a Jew can demand these things then so can a Gentile without being anti semitic.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Re misdirections and outright lies</title>
 <link>http://www.thejc.com/blogs/ben-f/re-misdirections-and-outright-lies</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Talk about obfuscation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the context of a discussion of the ethnic cleansing of Area C, Advs3r deftly whisks us away to the Negev and hopes no one will notice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He then,  invites us to read lengthy scribblings from BICOM !!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even with the gloss put on it by the highly partisan BICOM, it still reads like a determined exercise in cultural fascism. Israel is perfectly clear about the plan to Judaise the Negev.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But back to Area C......&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>corrections and right directions</title>
 <link>http://www.thejc.com/blogs/ben-f/corrections-and-right-directions</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Re ethnic cleansing&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;The first to be relocated will be the approximately 2,400 Bedouin living in an area east of Jerusalem, which will make it easier for Israel to implement its plan to expand the settlement of Ma&#039;aleh Adumim and other settlements to create contiguity of construction for Jews up to Jerusalem.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;From conversations with Israeli officials, international representatives concluded that the plan to forcefully relocate the Bedouin is based on the Civil Administration&#039;s assumption that the Oslo Accords intended Area C for Israeli settlements and military areas, and therefore the Bedouin should not be there.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &quot;Area C, which today constitutes about 60 percent of West Bank land, is a geographic area created in negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority in 1995.IT WAS TO CEASE AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE AREA BY 1998.&quot;  I guess when you are dealing with Israel nothing is more permanent than the temporary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &quot;According to the United Nations and the International Red Cross,( and we might add every country in the world ) in any case, the area is occupied territory, where the occupier has no right to settle its citizens and must also see to the welfare of the local population, and consult them on all changes.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course if the move were to be to a &quot; better place &quot; wouldn&#039;t the illegal Israeli settlers want this better place instead of the less good place they are deporting the Bedouin from ? Or maybe they are are feeling contrite and generous. And maybe Nicolas Mas is a big fan of the English.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jonathan maybe you should stick to obscene homophobic rants in Monmouth Street and endlessly disgracing the Zionist Federation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Happy to have been able to point you in the right direction.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
