Bondi Beach — Australia’s Kristallnacht

 Bill Ponton  

"The Trump administration should communicate its displeasure with the inaction of the Albanese government in securing the safety of Jews in Australia. It should be as strongly worded as Trump’s recent words to the South African prime minister in the Oval Office conveying displeasure with his government’s indifference to the plight of its white Afrikaner population. My question to the Trump administration is simple. If not now, then when?"

"I ended a recent article entitled, “The Hamas death cult gets rewarded for the Oct. 7th massacre” with the words, “While England and the rest of the Anglosphere appeases the Moslem world, to which they will be a prisoner soon, we should not tolerate pirates and death cults in our midst.”  After witnessing the Australian government’s complicity in the death of Jews at Bondi Beach, I would now add that we cannot allow Australia to blindly disregard the lives and safety of its Jewish citizens.

"Calls for “jihad,” “intifada,” and “gassing,” by radical Islamic factions within Australia have been tolerated and have gone unpunished by Australian authorities. Jewish groups inside Australia have been begging the authorities to take threats against the Jewish community seriously. During the last two years, synagogues and other Jewish sites in Australia have been repeatedly assaulted. In December 2024, a Melbourne synagogue was firebombed. Jewish businesses have been attacked and Jews have been the targets of constant harassment. Bondi Beach is a modern-day Kristallnacht, a pogrom against Jews carried out by a militant Islamic faction while Australian authorities looked on without intervening." . . . More...

Did Iran Orchestrate the Hannukah Murder of Jews at Bondi Beach?

 The American Spectator  

"But even more disturbing than Iran’s potential involvement in the recent attack, is that the Australian authorities failed to prevent such a mega attack."

A Hanukkah menorah is projected onto the sails of the Sydney Opera House in memory of the victims of a shooting at Bondi Beach, in Sydney on Dec. 15, 2025. A father and son opened fire on a Jewish festival at Australia's Bondi Beach in a shooting spree that killed 15 people, including a child, authorities said on December 15, denouncing the attack as antisemitic "terrorism."   USA Today

"As of this writing, at least two terrorist shooters have murdered 15 people at a Hannukah celebration in Bondi Beach, including Chabad Rabbi Eli Schlanger who was Chabad’s emissary in Sydney since 2008, and Holocaust survivor Alex Kleytman, who was able to shield his wife and save her from death. Arsen Ostrovsky, a human rights lawyer and popular figure on social media who was a refusnik who fled the Soviet Union with his family to Australia in 1987, and then moved to Israel, was also wounded in the attack. The Hannukah celebration was reportedly attended by approximately 2,000 people.

In a sliver of good news, Ahmed al-Ahmad, a 43-year old Muslim fruit shop owner, succeeded in tackling and disarming one of the shooters, avoiding further loss of life. Such heroism resulted in praise from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who stated: “We saw an action of a brave man — turns out a Muslim brave man, and I salute him — that stopped one of these terrorists from killing innocent Jews.”

"One of the gunmen has been identified as Naveed Akram from Pakistan. Mike Burgess, the head of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), stated that “One of these individuals was known to us, but not in an immediate-threat perspective, so we need to look into what happened here.”

somalispot

"In the wake of that statement, one can’t help asking if Iran has its hands in this attack. Indeed, there are reports that Australia is investigating if this is the case. Additionally, an unnamed senior Israeli security official told Israeli press outlet Israel Hayom that “in recent months there has been increased activity by Iran to orchestrate attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets around the world,” adding: “There is no doubt that the direction and infrastructure for the attack originated in Tehran.”

"Such an attack on the “soft targets” of Jewish religious and civil life would not be out of Iran’s wheelhouse. Australia assessed that Iran has orchestrated other recent attacks on Jews in Australia. This August, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated that “The Iranian government directed at least two of these attacks. Iran has sought to disguise its involvement but ASIO [the Australian Security Intelligence Organization] assesses it was behind the attacks.” Specifically, the ASIO had established links between the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and “cut-outs, including people who are criminals and members of organised [sic] crime gangs to do their bidding or direct their [IRGC’s] bidding,” according to ASIO’s chief Burgess. Albanese confirmed this assessment in that authorities were: “able to trace the chain of command, if you like, right back to the IRGC.' ” . . .

'Gaza doctor murdered Israeli hostage by injecting air into her veins... before her father received video of her dying and begging for her life'

Tell me again, Gen Z, who exactly are the "Nazis"? 

Follow-up to previous Legal Insurrection post in the Tunnel Wall: Report: Gaza ‘Doctor’ Murdered Hostage Noa Marciano, 19, as She Begged For Mercy. The Tunnel Dweller

UK Daily Mail 

"He added that what he went through was the 'biggest nightmare you could ever imagine', saying there are mornings he still wakes to the image of her murder replaying in his mind."

"The father of an Israeli woman abducted on October 7 has revealed his daughter was murdered in Gaza by a civilian doctor - and that he was later sent a video showing the moment she was killed.

"In the footage, Avi Marciano said a medical worker is seen injecting air into his 19-year-old daughter's veins as she lies on a bed inside Shifa Hospital, begging for her life. 

"Marciano, who was speaking publicly to a small crowd for the first time, said that by the end of the clip 'she was sweating and showing no signs of life'.

"His daughter was later identified as Cpl Noa Marciano, who the IDF said had suffered injuries during heavy bombing and gunfire but none that were considered life-threatening.

"As Israeli forces advanced towards where Noa was being held, her captors moved her to Gaza City, where she was later killed.

"Marciano said the video was sent to him on Telegram and showed clearly how his daughter died while in Hamas captivity. 

"He added that what he went through was the 'biggest nightmare you could ever imagine', saying there are mornings he still wakes to the image of her murder replaying in his mind."

Marciano seen in a Hamas propaganda video while in captivity.

Avi Marciano, the father of murdered IDF Cpl. Noa Marciano said he learned of his daughter’s death in Hamas captivity through a video of her last moments shared by Israel activist Shai DeLuca on Wednesday

Noa, 19, was one of seven female soldiers to be kidnapped from the Nahal Oz military base on October 7 – the other being Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Agam Berger, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy and Ori Megidish – and the only one not to have returned alive.

Celebrity narcissists looking for another virtue to signal have alighted upon a fresh cause appropriate to their moral stature: freedom for a notorious mass murderer of the innocent.

Report: Gaza ‘Doctor’ Murdered Hostage Noa Marciano, 19, as She Begged For Mercy

Legal Insurrection   

"Noa’s father received a “video sent to him, in which his daughter is seen begging for her life” as a Palestinian doctor “injected air into her vein.' ”

"The 19-year-old Israeli hostage, Noa Marciano, was murdered by a doctor in Gaza’s Shifa hospital, her father Avi Marciano disclosed in a social media post.

"Noa, who Palestinian terrorists abducted from a kibbutz on October 7, 2023, was taken to Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital after sustaining minor ‘non-life-threatening’ injuries. Weeks after her abduction, and with Israeli troops advancing in the area, a Palestinian doctor “injected air into her vein,” Noa’s father said." . . .

"Noa’s murder by Shifa’s medical staff was recorded on camera, showing a doctor injecting air into her veins while she pleaded for mercy. Avi Marciano “learned of his daughter’s death in Hamas captivity through a video of her last moments shared with him on Telegram,” the Jerusalem Post reported Thursday. The “footage of a medical professional lethally injecting air into her veins after she was taken to Shifa Hospital in Gaza,” the newspaper added.

"Noa, a resident of the central Israeli city of Modi’in, held the rank of Corporal and served as an observation soldier in Israel’s Border Defense Force’s 414 Unit.

"Days after Noa’s murder, the Israeli military managed to recover her body in a raid on the Hamas-controlled hospital. Her father’s revelations are consistent with the Israeli military’s assessment made last summer. In early July 2024, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that the Shifa hospital “was used by Hamas for murder(ing)” her." . . .

What say you, Greta?   Just a guess going by his previous pattern, but I feel Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) would call her death "an “unfortunate accident.” 

The Human Face of Terror: Returned Israeli Hostage Speaks Out

First the back story on this young man, captured by Gazans on Oct 7th:  Freed Israeli hostage reveals unthinkable horror during captivity: ‘Something even the Nazis didn’t do’  Video.Do not look for this on MSNBC.

"A traumatized Israeli hostage held captive for more than two years in Gaza revealed that he was sexually assaulted and tortured so sadistically by Jew-hating terrorists that he begged them to let him starve to death.

"Rom Braslavski was kidnapped on Oct. 7, 2023, by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a Hamas ally, and subsequently stripped naked, starved and sexually abused until he was finally released earlier this year, he revealed in a chilling interview with Israeli media.

“I came back from a meeting with the devil,” Braslavski told Israel’s Channel 13. " . . .

. . . “It was sexual violence, and its main purpose was to humiliate me,” he said. “The goal was to crush my dignity. And that’s exactly what he did.”

"He said the abuse was frequent — and worse than Nazi torture." . . .

Exposing the Left’s Selective Outrage 

. . . "This isn’t an isolated oversight. It’s a pattern in progressive activism, where causes that align with anti-Western narratives get amplified, while others languish in obscurity. The result? A movement that claims moral superiority but practices a form of boutique solidarity, prioritizing trendy issues over equally devastating ones.

"Defenders might blame media coverage, and there’s truth there. Gaza’s conflict generates endless viral footage, while Sudan’s war suffers from journalistic blackouts due to danger and inaccessibility. But this excuse falls flat when you consider that activists pride themselves on uncovering hidden injustices. If the left can mobilize against obscure corporate exploitations or niche environmental threats, why not amplify Sudan’s plight through their own networks? The BDS movement has built a global machine for Palestine; couldn’t similar energy spotlight Darfur?" . . .

Newly found video shows moments US troops saved thousands of Jews from Nazi train

When Western students using Greta Thunberg chant "Death to Israel!", they need to know this is what they are talking about. Is there no limit to those who want to kill the Jewish people? TD

The Times of Israel   Researcher finds archived video of liberation of Bergen-Belsen camp prisoners near Farsleben in 1945; survivors identify themselves in clip. 

"As Allied armies advanced against Germany in the closing stages of the war the Nazis tried to hide the atrocities they had committed in concentration camps.

"Rare footage of the moment when US soldiers liberated thousands of Jews from a Nazi death train has been uncovered by a researcher, with some of those who were on board since spotting themselves or family members in the silent, black-and-white clip.

Though many photographs exist of the so-called Farsleben Train, liberated on April 13, 1945, it is the first time that moving images of the dazed, relieved prisoners greeting their GI rescuers have emerged.

The film was recently found in the US National Archives by author Matthew Rozell, a Holocaust researcher who in 2016 published a book about the train liberation titled “A Train Near Magdeburg.”

"Rozell published the clip to his YouTube channel on July 29 along with the archive remarks.

“Summary: Numerous scenes, freed Jewish prisoners in groups along railroad tracks,” the comments read. “Their expressions furnish a clue to the suffering they endured. Individual shots: men, women and children, some of them in various stages of emaciation. Flashes of US soldiers distributing food. The group surrounding the soldiers push forward to receive meager bits of food. LS, village being shelled by German artillery from across the Elbe River.”...

"On April 7, 1945, 2,500 Jewish prisoners from Bergen-Belsen concentration camp were put on the train and were set to be transported to Theresienstadt. However, on April 13, the train was forced to stop near the town of Farsleben due to bombings by Allied forces advancing in the area. Some of those on board escaped the train and met up with soldiers from the 30th Division of the US Army who then returned to liberate those still trapped in the carriages.

"When the handful of Nazi soldiers guarding the train saw an American tank and jeep coming over the hill, they fled. US soldiers then flung open the doors to the carriages and the occupants poured out." . . .  More..

The Nazis tried to hide all they did; Hamas showed off the fact that they did it all with glee.

Freed hostage says captors joyfully tortured, whipped him repeatedly during captivity

Freed Israeli Hostages: What They Endured in Captivity and How They Survived | AJC   . . . "Freed hostage Amit Soussana credited Liri Albag with saving her life in captivity, revealing in an interview that Albag convinced their Hamas captors she was not an IDF officer. Soussana recounted how she was bound, beaten, and threatened at gunpoint by a guard who told her, “You have 40 minutes to tell us the truth, or else I kill you.” Albag intervened, persuading the captors that Soussana was not a soldier. “I told her when she came back: ‘I don’t know if they would have killed me or not; as far as I’m concerned, you saved my life,’” Soussana said.

"In December 2024, Hamas released a propaganda video featuring Liri. Her family said at the time that the video “has torn our heart to pieces. This is not the daughter and sister we know. She is not well - her severe psychological distress is evident.”

"Her mother, Shira Albag, observed, "She's not the same girl—she's very frightened, her eyes are hollow." She added, "My Liri has always been self-confident, fearless, strong—I saw that she was extremely pale, that she has lost a ton of weight… I saw the black under her eyes, I saw that she hadn’t seen daylight in a long time." . .

Will anyone rescue New York City from its dark destiny this time?

 The voices of young college-aged women cheering Mamdani's about his plans for New York's economy and police forces sound to me like the same ones I hear cheering Hamas's murdering of Israeli families, cooking infants alive in Jewish kitchen ovens, and making keffiyeh - muffled shouts of "Death to America!" and "Death to Israel!" on American campuses. Being economically ignorant as is the childlike Zohran, they are all a complement with the likes of Jasmine Crockett, AOC,and most of those sitting to the right of the person giving the SOTU and can be spotted wearing matching (Usually white) outfits and flashing paddle signs.  The Tunnel Dweller

Will anyone rescue New York City from its dark destiny this time?   ..."Remember President Ford’s “Drop Dead” retort?

"Faced with New York City’s looming insolvency, New York State Governor Hugh Carey—an old school Democrat—recruited Felix Rohatyn, the distinguished, august senior partner at the largest investment banking house in both the city and the world, Lazard Freres. Rohatyn was an exquisite financial wizard, navigating, negotiating, and delivering complex financial deals—profitable, innovative, and durable.

"Felix Rohatyn might have been the most trusted and respected financial titan since the likes of J.P. Morgan and Andrew Mellon.

"Governor Carey, with Rohatyn, formed the Municipal Finance Corp. and the New York State Financial Control Board, which commandeered operational and financial control of New York City.

"Carey championed massive loan guarantees from New York and engineered state legislation to enact sweeping tax cuts and regulatory reforms that jump-started New York state’s economy. This provided the confidence and trust enabling Rohatyn to not only refinance New York City’s debt, but to convince President Ford to shelve his “Drop-dead” posture towards New York City. Ford signed the New York City Seasonal Financing Act, through which the city secured some $2 billion in direct loans and additional loan guarantees.

"So, here we are, fifty years later, with 33-year-old communist, antisemite, and Islamic terrorist sympathizer Zohran Mamdani, who knows nothing—zero, zilch about finance or governance in any public space or the private sphere—on the cusp of being elected Mayor of New York City.

"Mamdani’s communist manifesto for New York City, calling for higher taxes, wealth redistribution, rent control, free food, free health care, free transportation, and more, including dismantling the NYPD and FDNY, will not only defy gravity but will also make the city uninhabitable.

"Hugh Carey and Felix Rohatyn clones don’t exist. New York City’s dark destiny, which won’t be confined to the five boroughs, is a hellscape about to unfold and descend upon the greatest metropolis the world has ever seen." . . . 

New York City Has Fallen, Socialist Mamdani Elected Mayor    "The capital of American capitalism, a longtime beacon of prosperity, opportunity, and innovation, has just elected its first openly socialist mayor. He has pledged to punish the wealthy, crack down on landlords, freeze rents, open city-run grocery stores, make public transit free, and tackle the city's crime through “mental health services,” whatever that may entail. Mamdani will also be the city’s first Muslim mayor."

"What this moment makes clear is that Republicans must seriously re-engage in the debate between free markets and socialism, more vigorously than ever before. That means advancing economic plans that demonstrate the power, effectiveness, and fairness of the free market, not just more tax cuts. Republicans have too often lost the rhetorical battle over economic systems. For too long, capitalism has been equated with maintaining the status quo; it must now stand for something greater amid the growing discontent in America’s cities. Let’s restore the honor and dignity of work, revive the American work ethic, and reduce our dependence on government welfare programs and on government itself to solve our problems."

The Mamdani Exodus

 Tablet Magazine  Faced with rising antisemitism and a radical would-be mayor, New York’s Jewish artists confront a once unthinkable question: Is it time to flee?

"Supporting Israel in any way became the one stance that could destroy your reputation in New York’s creative world."

. . . "But history is rarely fair. And the story isn’t new. In 1933, German Jewish author Lion Feuchtwanger wrote The Oppermanns, a novel about an assimilated Jewish family in Berlin as antisemitism grows around them. They find themselves slowly losing everything as a new ideology grips their friends, clients, colleagues, and teachers. Each time, they assume it’s a passing storm. As we, the readers, know, it wasn’t. The Holocaust that followed could never have been predicted at the time of the book’s writing, but in hindsight, all the signs were there.

"Are American Jews the Oppermanns of today? Have we placed too much faith in a system untested by this level of hatred? Will future generations look back and ask how we could’ve possibly missed the red flags? A mayoral candidate who wouldn’t condemn “Globalize the Intifada.” The violent takeover of Columbia University’s campus. “Zionists get out!” chanted on the subway. People tucking their Stars of David under their shirts. Like Tevye’s family at the end of Fiddler on the Roof, perhaps it’s time to pack up and leave our current Anatevka. Is Israel, even under constant threat, the last refuge for Jews on earth?

"This story’s conclusion is still unwritten. The question isn’t only whether New York has fallen. It’s whether Jews, and those who stand with them, can turn the tide. Leaving is one option, and perhaps a very reasonable one. But so is fighting for a city that has always been an example of resilience and hope. Perhaps the harder path is refusing to surrender New York to those who would see it emptied of Jewish life."

Docile American liberals can easily be taught to shake their fists and chant "Death to America!"

Who or What Will Finally End Hamas?

Victor Davis Hanson    Hamas is an irredeemable terrorist cartel that subverts Gaza, uses civilians as shields, and must be dismantled and barred from power before any genuine peace can begin.

"So there is a rare opportunity for the U.S., the Arabs, and Israel finally to forge a peace without the fear of foreign-funded, nihilist terrorism—but only for the moment and solely if the last obstacle, the terrorists of October 7 who prompted the last two years of war and death, are finally disarmed, discredited, humiliated, and eliminated."

"Hamas was born and exists to kill Jews, seek the destruction of Israel, and, to some extent, overthrow or subvert pro-Western Arab governments. Period.

"For those ends, it diverted billions of dollars from the people of Gaza to build a vast subterranean labyrinth of military headquarters and arsenals. It expropriated hospitals, mosques, and schools for use as tunnel entries and exits, using expendable civilian shields to protect its rich terrorist hierarchy. Hamas always counted on plenty of collateral damage to sway the Western left to become active enablers of its murderous causes—in a way, it is also stone silent on other “occupied land” and “refugees,” from the recent ethnic cleansing in Azerbaijan and Nigeria to the long-standing illegal occupations of Northern Cyprus and swaths of the Congo.

"Hamas was willing to execute its Palestinian Authority rivals, cancel all elections after its first and only victory, hold kangaroo death courts to murder dissidents, and steal hundreds of billions of dollars in Western and international relief. It has already violated the ceasefire, attacking and killing Israelis, and now claims it has “lost” the remains of Israeli hostages, whom it likely murdered (and thus does not want more physical evidence of their barbarity).

"Hamas will never give up power, despite the fact that its ruling elite is all but wiped out, thousands of its foot soldiers are dead, and it is now loathed by most nations of the Middle East. The subtext of every negotiation over the future of Gaza is that almost every Arab regime privately wants the U.S. or Israel to eliminate Hamas. It is likely more popular at American college campuses, or in Dearborn, Michigan, and New York City—than in the Middle East.

"Nonetheless, the remnants of Hamas are already in public view, in SS fashion, publicly executing any alleged critics or rivals. And it hopes to be reinvigorated by the recent release of 1,700 convicted terrorists, most with Hamas ties and many flush with cash for their past killing of Jews.

"Hamas’s current strategy?

"It hopes first to crush any internal Gaza opposition by liquidating critics, particularly oppositional clans and tribes, before mounting terrorist operations against Israel." . . . More...

Security Council on her fact-finding mission to Israel and the Palestinian territories regarding the events of Oct. 7, 2023. Her mission, she stated, “threw light on the indiscriminate and coordinated attacks by Hamas and other armed groups against multiple military and civilian targets, aimed to kill, to inflict suffering and abduct the maximum number possible of men, women, and children—soldiers and civilians alike—in the minimum possible amount of time.” . . .Paywall after this.

EXPOSED! The Oct 7th Report Hamas Doesn’t Want You to See

A Palestinian ‘State’ Is Historically Ignorant

 The American Spectator

“When the time comes we can get the Arab nations to join us for the final blow against Israel.”

At least 40 babies, some beheaded, found by Israel soldiers in Hamas-attacked village

"A sore evil under the sun.” King Solomon may well be foretelling the cock-and-bull morality play, “Recognizing Palestine” coming to Manhattan’s Turtle Bay theater of the absurd.

"Heads of state curling their toes to give Israel payback for perpetually blocking to free Palestine from the occupation. They’ll tolerate no precondition, not even Israel offering a sop if Hamas releases all hostages, dead or alive. That would be enough to accuse the Netanyahu government of obstructive tactics.

"In short, Israel’s critics are at the end of a short fuse. They seemingly believe that Oct 7 made Israelis retreat into a bubble of trauma from which they can’t stop obsessing about their own survival. Not a shred of empathy for the Palestinians in Gaza, or for that matter for governments on the brink, such as Emmanuel Macron’s or Keir Starmer’s. They too are struggling to survive. Netanyahu, throw in the towel, damn it! Recognize Palestine.

"Instead what did “Bibi” and his warring cabinet do? They called time up on futile and circuitous bargaining for hostages through Qatar and, smack bang on its home soil, targeted Hamas figureheads in Giorgio Armani suits.

Free my people!

"The titular head of the titular Palestinians, Abu Mazen (the nickname of Mahmoud Abbas, the President of the Palestinian Authority), observed developments and made a savvy calculation. Arafat’s successor for life is not only a chronic snake but a sloth.

"There’ll come a day when statehood will drop into his lap without him lifting a finger. He need only sit tight until the biggest allies of Israel trip over themselves to serve Palestine on a platter.

“The message is clear: what you need to do to get your state recognized is nothing. No reform, no institution building, no democracy, no defeat of terrorist groups, no competent government. All of that will happen magically in the Palestinian state once it comes into existence. The use of brutal and inhuman violence will bring some nice rewards, while Israel’s reactions will bring it punishment — for it is crystal clear that without the October 7 attacks Macron, Starmer, Albanese, and Carney would not today be recognizing this imaginary state.”. . . More...

Grifters Desecrating Charlie Kirk’s Memory Could Implode MAGA

"Fringe opportunists on the Right are trying to twist Charlie Kirk’s murder to further their own antisemitic ends."

"The body of my friend Charlie Kirk, who was tragically assassinated last week during a campus event in Utah by a leftist transgender-adjacent “furry” fetishist   , had barely returned home to Arizona before some grifters on the ostensible “right” started trying to capitalize on his memory."

Jewish Student Asks Charlie Kirk About Candace Owens, This Was His Response!

. . . "Disgraced podcaster Candace Owens, never one to miss any opportunity to slander Jewish people, took precious time away from her Brigitte Macron legal defense to suggest that Jewish people or the Jewish state of Israel were somehow involved in Kirk’s assassination. To hear Owens tell it: Kirk, a lifelong vocal supporter of the Jewish people and the Jewish state, was souring on Israel and was getting close to publicly adopting a hostile stance. Oh, and what’s more — per Owens, Bill Ackman, the billionaire hedge funder and proud Zionist, staged an “intervention” with Kirk during a retreat last month in the Hamptons, where Ackman pressured Kirk to “get in line” on the Israel issue. Notably, numerous high-profile cable news has-beens have legitimized Owens’ outrageous laundering of a left-wing political assassination into an antisemitic caper.

"Where to begin?

"I spoke with Kirk less than 24 hours before his untimely death. The night before, a right-wing rabbi friend and I held a Zoom call with Kirk and a few others. During this call, Kirk, an unapologetic Christian Zionist who was greatly distressed by rising antisemitism in some pockets of the Right, asked us a series of Israel-related questions that he anticipated receiving on his upcoming campus tour. We answered those questions and provided messaging advice for how to best communicate and win over students. At one point, Kirk joked to me that he would simply direct students toward my book, Israel and Civilization, when Israel came up on tour. It beggars belief that someone on the verge of renouncing Israel would organize this call just before embarking on a campus tour." . . .
