When I was on Daily Kos I posted this photo on one of Jon Segall's "pro-Israel" open threads and the next thing I know I was vilified up and down, merely for putting up this picture of Sharon and Dayan.
I think it migt have been my half-kidding reference to "my friend Arik" that really set some people off.
"In 1968, following the occupation of the city by the Israeli military, a group of about thirty Israeli Jews responded to an advertisement placed by the religious fundamentalist Rabbi Moshe Levinger, and celebrated Passover in the Park Hotel in downtown Hebron under the guise of tourists. When the group proclaimed its intention to stay indefinitely, Minister of Defence Moshe Dayan ordered their evacuation but later agreed to their relocation to the nearby military base in what was to become the settlement of Kiryat Arba’."
No, he returned fleeing Arab inhabitants of Hebron. They were afraid that a retribution for 1929 pogrom was coming and fled, almost made it to the river, but then he stopped them. Another colossal mistake.
Mike, there should be a trigger warning before exposing people to this picture.

There are pro-Israel threads on Daily Kos?
DeleteWell, that's using the term "pro-Israel" rather loosely. If you consider Meretz and J Street pro-Israel.
DeleteBy the way, ask Dr. Kedar about Dayan.
ReplyDeleteNot necessarily a huge fan I am guessing.
DeleteAm I wrong?
He says that Dayan gave the Waqf the Temple Mount because they let him steal priceless artifacts which the Israel Antiquities not have let him have.
DeleteWasn't he also the guy who stopped and returned fleeing inhabitants of Hebron?
DeleteJacob, you mean this?

DeleteTwo great examples of free speech in America recently:
ReplyDeleteJohn Lewis claimed Trump is not legitimate
Trump fired back with some criticism of Lewis.
And everybody celebrated how great free speech is in America. Ain't it grand?
