ONCE SILENCED JEW AGAIN INTERVIEWED
Antony Loewenstein was recently interviewed on ABC radio's Late Night Live. The first poke at Israel isn't from Loewenstein, however, with host Phillip Adams in the intro erroneously describing Gaza as "the most populated strip of land in the world" where 400,000 are homeless as a result of Israel's invasion (Mahmoud Abbas says 90,000). Adams goes on to describe his guest as "forceful" and "courageous". I managed to listen to Loewenstein for maybe two minutes before hitting stop. If you can force yourself to listen to the whole thing -- it's Sunday so you really have nothing better to do -- please let me know if he says anything even close to worth hearing.

You're becoming repetitive Danny boy. Surely there are other insults you can use.
Why come up with a different insult, when those will do quite nicely? Normally anti-semites go a long way to hide their anti-semitism. Not Damian, he's out and proud.
Lattecat, just calling someone an anti-Semite doesn't make it so. You're confusing anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism; a typical but very transparent right-wing ploy that no one actually takes any notice of these days - except your fellow Zionazi-supporting comrades here of course.
Damian, you liken Gaza to the Warsaw ghetto. Please explain how it is that the Warsaw ghetto's birth rate was near zero but Gaza's is very high -- 36.93 per 100,000, ranking it 28 out of 224 according to the World Factbook. If life is so horrible, why are Gazan's having so many children?
A ferris wheel and candy floss? They're clearly living in the lap of luxury - those that survived the Zionazi onslaught into the Gaza earlier this year that is.
The quicker the Zionazis are gone the better for Jews and Arabs alike.
The use of the term zionazi is clearly anti-semitic.
Danny boy, as always you make far too many assumptions. I'm 61 years old; being a student is not a career move for me - I do it because I enjoy it.
Despite being a leftie, I'm also an avid capitalist. Having done resonably well at it, my working days have long gone. 'Aspirations of having a job one day' was never part of the plan.
The final solution is simple; it's called the One State Bi-national Solution whereby the Palestinian and Israeli peoples live together in a secular egalitarian democracy.

Yep. That sounds like a Final Solution (to the Jewish problem) indeed...
More Palestinians were killed by other Palestinians, in 2008 than by Israel.
If they can't even live in peace with themselves, what possible hope is there of them living in peace alongside Jews?
Exactly none. It would be a massacre.
And yet you would, with a straight face, suggest demolishing the Middle East's only functioning democracy, and replacing it with a Muslim majority (eventually) and reckon that will result in "egalitarian democracy"? Show me another example. Show me any predominantly Arab/Muslim country, anywhere on earth, where minority groups have as many rights as they do in Israel (or any rights at all for that matter).
Your suggestion is either stunningly naive and stupid, or simply a veiled way of achieving the same end result - the death of another six million Jews.
I give you credit and acknolwedge you are probably smarter than the average antisemite (you can even spell). However you aren't as smart as you think, I assure you.
As a diehard capitalist who sounds like a career failure, I can only assume you resent the Jewish people who did so much better than you... Such a shame.
"More Palestinians were killed by other Palestinians, in 2008 than by Israel."
Absolute nonsense! Even if it were true, does that make it OK for Zionazis to continue killing Palestinian civilians?
"As a diehard capitalist who sounds like a career failure, I can only assume you resent the Jewish people who did so much better than you... Such a shame."
What are you raving on about now? There has certainly never been any career failure on my part and why on earth would I resent anyone, Jewish or otherwise, for having done as well as or better than me? Good on 'em as far as I'm concerned.
As far as the One State Solution is concerned; Jews and Arabs lived quite peacfully together until the Zionazis turned up from Europe. They'll just have to learn to do it again. There is no alternative. The Zionazis will never ever win.
Not sure why, but I'm getting a mental image of Damian typing on his keyboard with a pair of underpants on his head and a pencil up each nostril
oh, and he loves the word "Zionazi", in case nobody picked up on it
...and, in case nobody picked up on it, Zionazis love the word 'anti-Semite'.
Get called 'Anti-Semite' a bit do you Damo ?
Love the way you call Latte lazy, yet you throw up that site as a presumably authentic source of information...what a joke ! The map reminds me of one of those Chinese maps you see with Taiwan marked as PRC territory...
"Gaza was bigger in the past" is simply a weird concept to begin with. It doesn't have any historical independent existence, but over the course of the 20th century had been controlled at various times by the Egyptians, Ottomans, British and Israelis. For the past few years it has not been permanently occupied by any other country.
Leaving aside Lataan's sheer unadultered anti-semitism, he's making a claim that is just bizarre. Still, what would you expect from someone like him.
Actually, the anti-semite is being a moraan, but is not necessarily wrong - he's just looking at a map and interpreting it wrongly. The British Mandate of Palestine was divided into a number of districts (according to wikipedia - it makes sense that it would be so divided). There was a district that include Gaza city. That district is bigger than the Gaza strip. However it is completely irrelevant. The districts of the British Mandate are irrelevant to the modern day. The Gaza strip is simply the land on the coast left over once the British Mandate territory is divided into Israel and non-Israel bits. That's where the Gaza strip comes from. The districts were simply internal divisions.
There is land in Israel which was once part of Gaza district. But the Gaza strip didn't exist then. The district and the strip are simply named after the main city located in those areas.
It's difficult to argue with someone who is so blinded by his anti-semitism.
So, that would be 48-49 when Egypt overan the Gaza Strip would it? And occupied it for next 18 years? I see. What a loon.
