I have a real credibility gaps here. How is it that horrific actions by the Israelis, fully described in International Law as war crimes and crimes against humanity are just papered over by the ruling elites, and any who dare to even obliquely refer to these things is publicly attacked. It is well known to anyone who wishes to do even cursory research that these actions include bombing U.N. schools, Hospitals, Water treatment facilities; the arrest, torture and indefinite detention of children and no right to a civil trial, or killing over 2,000 people and making 100s of thousands homeless, mostly innocent victims, or having a formal written policy (well known to the U.S and accessible to the public) of deliberately withholding medications and food by blockade, are not understood publicly to be Crimes Against Humanity. I give credit to Mr. Leslie for having the courage to raise even a timid reference to these matters in light of the ad hominem attacks from the right, and no doubt criticism from colleagues which are entirely predictable. The truth in this matter is obviously of no importance to those who rule and the bigots they represent. By the way, if you think am making any of this up, check these references by acknowledged Jewish experts on Israel: Henry Seigman, former E.D. American Jewish Congress & Pres. American Rabbis Assoc.
