I welcome debate on ideas from all points of view, but this blog is not a forum for personal attacks.<BR/><BR/>I seriously considered deleting Yehuda's comment for the same reasons, but decided, for the moment, to leave it, since it is more of a <I>link</I> to a set of personal attacks (plus a silly nickname) then an attack itself.<BR/><BR/>Please, everyone, be respectful. Debate ideas, rather than insulting people.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16524368948187746248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13734864.post-20268984733230689802009-01-29T22:42:00.000-05:002009-01-29T22:42:00.000-05:00FYI.Little Dickie Silverstein is one of the worst ...FYI.<BR/>Little Dickie Silverstein is one of the worst anti-Semitic bloggers on the web, widely referred to as a kapo.

So I apologize if my criticism of the statement was unkind.<BR/><BR/>My main problem with the Jewish references is that they seemed a bit personal. I liked your *blog* post about Jacob's curse of Simeon and Levy; it just seemed a bit individual for the statement.<BR/><BR/>But, as I said above, it doesn't much matter. These things are always about consensus. And the general thrust of the statement is spot-on.<BR/><BR/>Good luck in your good work. If you ever choose to de-pseudonymize, I'd be interested in looking at your work (I was a philosophy major as an undergrad, and still like to dip into it from time to time.)<BR/><BR/>SFStephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16524368948187746248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13734864.post-82701404991588892012009-01-17T15:46:00.000-05:002009-01-17T15:46:00.000-05:00I am the principal author of the statement.

Since I am a professor of philosophy, I would like more argument, less rhetoric.<BR/><BR/>But some Jews are increasingly sick of seeing their tradition (at least the elements they like) hijacked by apologists for war crimes. So those stayed in.<BR/><BR/>Most of the criticisms I have received from the left have been because of the condemnation of Hamas. We left that in (because of their human rights violation) but we affirm the right of Palestinians to self-defense and self-determination.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the support.Jerry Haberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15173892714754718716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13734864.post-87989925903435643542009-01-16T23:17:00.000-05:002009-01-16T23:17:00.000-05:00Gertrude Stein said: " a rose is a rose is a rose ...Gertrude Stein said: " a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose"<BR/><BR/>I say a human is a human is a human and act not so human with other humans in specific periods of human history <BR/>we can name the vicious circle of persecution inflicted time to time from A to Z group of human ( again )<BR/><BR/>a human is a human is a human<BR/><BR/><BR/>Awesome blogC.
