In a recent debate, someone seated next to Professor Benny Morris lectured me on the impossibility that Israel systematically breaches the laws of war. It was stated that Israel only approved and launched precision attacks directed at legitimate military targets:
Thank you for your enlightening conversation at Princeton! I am sorry you were cut-off at the end. Would love to hear your thoughts on Kushner! Thank you, Dr Finkelstein.
Quite frankly Borelli did nothing but engage in obfuscatory tactics designed to make him look good on camera rather than to engage in a substantive debate. Chief among his tactics was the use of red herrings. The exchange regarding the protocol for Israeli air strikes was an example. Neither Finklestein nor Rabbani made any claim about the protocol for Israeli air strikes. They made a claim about the results. The results weren’t disputed by Borelli or Morris. Four children were killed after exiting a fisherman’s shack. That shack was surrounded by journalists who witnessed the event. The issue of the IDF’s protocols was not at issue, but if they are indeed as stringent as Morris/Borelli claimed, then the undisputed fact of these children’s deaths provides even greater support for the contention that Israel deliberately targets Palestinian civilians than Finklestein may have realized.
This is so funny, he’s talking about Destiny but instead said someone seated next to Benny Morris. I doubt it is a spiteful omission, however it is amusing given the fact, that you, Norman, pronounced his name wrong several times throughout the debate accidentally. What a great piece, I cannot help but laugh. Professor I request that you post more frequently, or whoever is posting for you, since I know you don’t like these “machines” lol. Please do topics on organized religion, why does it produce terrorists, and sexual predators? Or is it because organized religions, have the most populous following them, so it seems like it is a rampant issue in their communities? Maybe I’m wrong, India follows Hinduism which is not necessarily a major major religion, yet they engage in terrorism as well? Sorry to add, Israel ascribes itself to Judaism for example, and it is no doubt terrorist in its rhetoric and nature.
Message for Prof. Finkelstein: What do you get so triggered by Destiny? Is it because what Destiny says challenges your world view? You always despise ad-hominen, however, it was your only weapon to undermine Destiny’s points.

I thought you'd left Substack, Norman. Did you start again?
