A British university lecturer told Global March to Jerusalem protesters on Friday evening that Jerusalem “does not belong to Jewish Israelis or to Jews” and that Israel is “finished.” University of Exeter lecturer Ghada Karmi, speaking to protesters converged near the Israeli Embassy in London, went on to say that she “respects all religions” but that one should not be allowed to take over the city. Karmi also said that Israel does not deserve to continue as a state.

I mean, how really really ridiculous can one get?
But there are people out there who
a) believe her
b) have no reason to doubt her
c) couldn't care if she is wrong
which means that either it is because she is an Arab, or that she is an academic, or that she is an Arab academic or that she is a she that people are willing to belive such BS.
Which means they either are anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist, pro-Arab, ignorant or don't care.
So, this is the state of civil discourse.

Its thanks to people like her that Benjamin Kerstein finds ALL criticism of Israel suspect.
You shouldn't have to prove a negative. But in this case, I think Israel's critics should be required to prove they don't share Ghada Karmi's views.
I think that is just in keeping with the demands of our time.
