Ben Gurion University
Ben Gurion University – Neve Gordon (Dept of Political Science)
defends the rights of the Hamas to bomb Israel, because occupation
itself is a worse form of violence, and never mind that Gaza was
relieved from occupation years ago

Neve Gordon Is
At It Again
YMedad
January 14, 2009
Over at Amy
Goodman's Democracy Today,
she spoke with two one Lanny Davis and also Neve* Gordon.
Here's one excerpt
that bothered me:
NEVE GORDON: ... First of all, I agree with
the idea of a basic right to self-defense. And the right to
self-defense is a right to self-defense from violence. We have to
understand that the occupation itself is violence. It’s an act of
violence. Putting people in a prison, in a prison of one million
and a half million people and keeping them there for years on end
without basic foodstuff, without allowing them to enter and exit
when they will, is an act of violence. Without electricity,
without clean water, it’s all an act of violence. And these people
are resisting. I am against the way they’re resisting, but we have
to look at their violence versus our violence.
About between ten and twenty people,
Israelis, have died from rockets in the eight years that rockets
have been launched from the Gaza Strip into Israel. During the
same amount of time, 4,000 Israelis have died from car accidents.
And yet, we don’t see an outrage against the terrorism on the
streets in Israel. But from these twenty people, we’re allowed to
enter into the Gaza Strip and bomb them from the air into their
cage and kill 275 children.
Yes, car accidents
are a terrible problem but they are accidents.
If there were a
group of drivers, who, say, called themselves the "Hamas Steering
Wheel Devils" and went around purposefully ramming their cars into
Jews (that has actually occurred, by the way), even if only, God
forbid, three Jews were killed, I'd do all I could, including
bombing their garages to make sure they are stopped.
Neve is a complete
idiot, fool or, worse, a secret Hamas supporter. And I won't get
into his first claim about
Putting people in a prison, in a prison of
one million and a half million people and keeping them there for
years on end without basic foodstuff, without allowing them to
enter and exit when they will, is an act of violence. Without
electricity, without clean water, it’s all an act of violence
which is not exactly the truth, not by a
longshot or even a Qassam missle length.
P.S.
His name is ðéá
in Hebrew and is pronounced Neev like in sieve.
It translates as idiom which is fairly close to idiot, in spelling.
