Entry: Rethinking 1948 Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/rethinking_1948#28115 Post contents: Oh, please. Look, Im not going to argue what should be self-evident for any civilized human being. When someone like Van Creveld, who is a major cog in the military-industrial complex (Eisenhower's words), a a person who presumably formulates the military strategy of Israel, says, "“The Palestinians should all be deported," or even more unsettling, "We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under," the rest of us have a right to be concerned about what is going on in his head and the heads of the top brass of that country. The man is making himself perfectly clear, and any later half-retraction shows at least that the man is not digging graves in his backyard yet. Pioni: it's obvious that you have a personal stake in this-- perhaps I am wrong, but I assume you are an Israeli national, so in that case, we understand perfectly your attempt to defend this, yes, psychopath, but there are lots of Catholics, who write for and read this magazine. Do the Catholic conservatives who frequent this site, many of whom are quite articulate, think it appropriate that this magazine, which shows a great deal of sympathy for Catholic intellectual thought, should publish a man who has threatened to annihilate the holy city of Rome?
