He said that Hamas resistance would continue as long as Zionists  remained in Palestine.

I am surprised and disappointed to see that Bob from Brockley - a normally sensible left-wing blogger  -  appears to have embraced the one state solution. The reasons he offers are the following:

Many of my friends on the anti-anti-Zionist left think that the one state solution is essentially equivalent to the genocidal destruction of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I learn here that the Israeli edition of Time Out has named Yossi Gurvitz as Israel&#8217;s best progressive blogger. Among Gurvitz&#8217;s opinions are the following:

2. Antisemitism is a response to the behavior of Jews.
3. Israeli settlers are Judeo-Nazis.

A previously confidential Foreign and Commonwealth Office report (large pdf, here), officially released on 15 December by the FCO, suggests some foundational answers to the commonly asked questions regarding Britain&#8217;s apparent tolerance and accommodation of Islamist groups of varying extremes throughout the 1990s. In other words, what is sometimes termed [...]]]></description>
