Daniel Avitzour stood at the door handing out leaflets protesting that some of the speakers themselves live in settlements. Settler violence, he claims, is a direct consequence of the entire settlement project, which thumbs its nose at the law and makes Palestinian life nearly unlivable.
Daniel is an outstanding medical researcher. For example, he is one of the authors of this article: "Sex differences in the expression of haemorheological determinants in individuals with atherothrombotic risk factors and in apparently healthy people" in
Heart (British Cardiac Society) 2004;90(3):277-81. More articles here. Impressive.
Funny but it seems his PhD dissertation is entitled: "Weak Mixing in C* - Dynamical Systems". Weak, eh?
Well, if what Haim writes is accurate, Avitzour is weak in logic and rationality. And not to mention intolerable. Imagine, a speaker lives in a Jewish revenant community and he should be banned from speaking in a synagogue! Because the "entire settlement movement" is responsible for "violence".
Imagine if a representative of the "Palestinian Authority" showed up. Would Avitzour support a boycott simply because there is even more violence in the Arabs areas of Eretz-Yisrael than the Jewish areas, caused by Jewish residents or others?
You want to protest, fine. Even to barrack. But to close off argument?
Is that Jewish morality?

P.S. I understand his daughter died of leukemia in 2001 and I express my sympathies. However, we are talking politics and ideology here.
