Interesting as this article may be, it is flawed on a number of points, not least in its brazen use of out-of-context quotes, unbalanced assertions and exaggerations that come close to outright lies. But rather than go into those, I would like to comment that the appearance of Ashrawi at the college will certainly have stimulated debate, something American students are much in need of at the moment, when their media and opinion formers are trumpeting either uninformed garbage, or one-sided diatribe. Let them hear the other side of the story too.
As ususal we have all the usual Zionist distortions of reality in which any Palestinian who opposes occupation and asks for the most basic human rights in there own land is labelled a terrorist. Hanan Ashrawi is a brave and articulate spokesman for the struggle against Israeli Apartheid.
END THE OCCUPATION! FOR THE RIGHT OF RETURN FOR REFUGEES
Your comments don't suprise me, the self-deluded often ascribe to others the faults they themselves suffer from, its just a shame that you see fit, jules, to inflict this drivil on those of us who are a little better aquainted with the facts than your self.
By condemning every single Palestinian politician and distorting the truth to suit your prejudices, you are creating the basis for perpetual war and genocide. Ashwari represents one of the only hopes of bridging the gap between the Jewish community and the Arab world.
This stuff just won't wash any more. The blinkered manipulation where 'ethnic or national cleansing' is not acceptable termenology but 'transfer' of a whole people is, simly highlights the hypocracy of Zionist lies. An approach to life that denies that Israels ' facts on the ground ' were brought about by the creation of four million ferugees driven out of their homes by those who gave birth to the antidemocratic democratic, sudo-theocacy, with its colonising agenta "from the nile to the Euphrates ' is one that has become doomed, because it has become exposed. The horrors of the holocaust do not excuse the 'Disaster' that led to the declaration of the establishment of the exlusively Jewish State in Palestine; it does not legitimate the the creation of the world's biggest prison/ghetto/area of non-selfgoverning Bantustan like patchwork Under foreign Occupation and suppoted by the USA.
The Sharonites will not gegotiate. There army kills civilians every week but Palestinians are all classed as lesser beings. So it is OK to starve them of food and water, it is OK to raid medical centres, to shoot at ambulances and beat-up their drivers and volunteer helpers.
The plight of the Palestinians is now being recognised despite a warped media. Even a few brave American Jews and Israelis stand up against the cruel Occupation, in this David(Palestine) V Gliath(US backed Zionism) situation. The collective punishments, the 'Nazi-like Warsaw' perspective being visited on the Palestinians of whatever religion or no religion is becoming unacceptable to the world's people if not their governments. And when a counrty does not care what the rest of the world thinks because it has the USA and God on its side that is when a 'chosen people' can become the 'unelect', due to the example they show.
All Arabs are Semites. Sharon the Butcher is therfore the biggest anti-semite acting against the intersts of peace loving secular democrats; who are for a pluality of equal rights for Jews, Christians, Muslims,Socialist, Druse, Bahi etc. In the land of Canaanites, Philistines, Hebrews other Arabs, Africans, Greeks and others society has included all the above religions.

We should forget about Arafat, Barghouti, etc.... We really need a WOMAN's voice in this situation.
Shalom, Salaam, Peace.
