Is it your contention that Mr Franklin is on the mossad payroll?

Yes or no?

If so, what evidence do you have?

If not, well...


You're a lawyer, are you aware of the term "libel"?

How ridiculous. Posit this scenario:

Franklin gives information to AIPAC who gives it to the Israeli government. The Israeli government kn ows the origin of the information. The Israeli government does nothing to discourage further "leaks" from Franklin via AIPAC. More such "leaks" take place. In this scenario, can Franklin be fairly characterized as a "spy" for Israel?

Or are only those that are on mossad's payroll (as opposed to, perhaps, being paid by some embassy official or by the defense ministry?) "spies"?

I forgot to paste a synopsis of Norman Finkelstein's latest book "Beyond Chutzpah":

A meticulously researched expose of the corruption of scholarship on the Israel-Palestine conflict.

<font color="white"> . </font>
Bringing to bear the latest findings on the conflict and recasting the scholarly debate, Finkelstein points to a consensus among historians and human rights organizations on the factual record.

<font color="white">. </font>
Why, then, does so much controversy swirl around the conflict? Finkelstein's answer, copiously documented, is that apologists for Israel contrive controversy. Whenever Israel comes under international pressure, another media campaign alleging a global outbreak of anti-Semitism is mounted.

<font color="white">. </font>

Finkelstein also scrutinizes the proliferation of distortion masquerading as history. Recalling Joan Peters' book From Time Immemorial, published to great fanfare in 1984 but subsequently exposed as an academic hoax, he asks deeply troubling questions here about the periodic reappearance of spurious scholarship and the uncritical acclaim it receives. The most recent addition to this mendacious genre, Finkelstein argues, is Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz's bestseller, "The Case for Israel".

<font color="white">. </font>
The core analysis of Beyond Chutzpah sets Dershowitz's assertions on Israel's human rights record against the findings of the mainstream human rights community. Sifting through thousands of pages of reports from organizations such as Amnesty International, B'Tselem, and Human Rights Watch, Finkelstein demonstrates that Dershowitz has systematically misrepresented the facts.

Thoroughly researched and tightly argued, Beyond Chutzpah lifts the veil of contrived controversy shrouding the Israel-Palestine conflict, enabling readers in search of a just and lasting peace to act on the basis of truth.
