This difference in what Israel should be may be the source of our disagreement (yours and mine--I don\'t speak for Mobius).\n\nThe Torah commands us to destroy Amalek, but I refuse to believe that G-d wanted us to behave toward all non-Jews the way the Taliban or the Iranian ayatollahs behave toward non-Muslims.  \"Pro-Israel\" and \"Pro-Palestinian\" do not have to be mutually exclusive positions.

AddReply(196411,"repeat offender","bas thurmond","carolina","04/15/07","In 2006, Steven Plaut lost a civil suit in an Israeli court in which he was accused of libeling Neve Gordon. He is now appealing this decision. He had been ordered to pay the plaintiff Neve Gordon, a faculty member at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Department of Politics and Government, about $18,600 in compensation plus $3,500 in legal fees. [8]\n\nEmphasizing that the court\'s role was not to adjudicate opposing political views, Judge Rim Naddaf ruled that Plaut did cross a line between legitimate criticism and unlawful defamation of character. Judge Naddaf came to this decision after reading several articles written by Plaut, where he described Neve Gordon as a \"fanatic anti-Semite\" and a \"Judenrat wannabe.\" Other cases of defamation of Gordon included a message forwarded by Plaut and reproduced by a far-right pro-Meir Kahane website, urging readers to write an “Israeli Leftist” a mock-condolence letter for the death of a Hamas member (a targeted assassination by the IDF). Neve Gordon\'s e-mail address was included in this request.\n\nAccording to Gordon, Plaut was orchestrating a campaign - including letters to donors and members of the university\'s appointments committee - aimed at blacklisting him and denying him tenure. The use of the Holocaust motif against him was a decisive factor in Gordon\'s decision to litigate. \"Once someone is labeled as a Holocaust denier that person becomes illegitimate, and rightly so,\" he explained. \"Israeli society tolerates a relatively wide range of political views and that is why Plaut had to resort to this Holocaust mechanism to try to shut me down,\" Gordon said. [9]\n\nCommenting on the verdict, Plaut said: \"Because it will go to appeal, I prefer not to go into detail about it. I will just say that the judgment amounts to selective protection of freedom of speech in Israel, under which the most outrageous and even illegal behavior and statements made by anti-Israel extremists is always protected speech while denunciation of the public political activities and behavior of such people is deemed \'libel.\'\" [10] While Plaut never claimed Gordon himself was a Holocaust Denier, merely a fan of Holocaust Deniers, a few other writers and newspapers have claimed that Gordon himself is indeed a Holocaust Denier, such as the Jewish Voice and Opinion[[11]]. Judge Naddaf stated in her ruling that an informed discussion of the political uses made of the historical memory of the Holocaust neither denies its factual basis nor diminishes its horrifying nature in any way. Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz defended Plaut and denounced Gordon as a friend of neo-nazis and anti-Semites, and also denounced Gordon\'s judge and her verdict Dershowitz defends Plaut, adding \"if Finkelstein and Gordon aren\'t themselves explicitly neo-Nazi, they\'re at least very highly regarded by those who are - and for good reason.\"\n\nBesides Dershowitz, other publicists criticized the decision. Caroline Glick argued that this was one of a growing number of attempts by anti-democratic judges in Israel to suppress freedom of speech [12]. The Jerusalem Post\'s Jonathan Rosenblum [13] criticized the verdict as interfering with the freedom of speech. Gordon responded to Dershowitz\'s charges in an article titled \"Anti-Semitism? Mr. Dershowitz, You Just Don\'t Like What I Say\". In the article, Gordon attributes Dershowitz\'s attack on him to Gordon\'s critical but supportive review of Norman Finkelstein\'s book Beyond Chutzpah, in which Dershowitz was charged with being a plagiarist and a liar. Gordon asserts that Dershowitz was embarrassed by this criticism and was attacking Gordon - in connection with the Plaut case - with the use of lies and distortions.\n\nGordon added: \"Despite the ruthless efforts to ruin my good name, the Israeli court has had its say. It found Plaut guilty of libel. Now, in the aftermath of this case, allowing his personal vendetta to blur his legal judgment, Dershowitz shamelessly attacks the judge\'s verdict. This lack of judgment is apparent when the Harvard professor calls me names and concludes with a cheap dare that I sue him, instead of rising to the academic challenge of proving that he did not \"lift\" information from others. Unlike Dershowitz, however, when choosing between truth or dare I always side with truth.\"");
