Hate to disagree with your disagreement, but I do
Reader comment on item: My Testimony before the House Subcommittee on Israeli-Palestinian Negotiations
in response to reader comment: Hate to disagree with you but I do.
Submitted by Dean Kitnick (United States), Feb 20, 2007 at 18:28
Peter, I understand from your comment that you believe that the criticism levied by "a substantial group" of those who seek to destroy Israel are reasonable. Therefore, you conclude that they should have been invited to testify at this hearing along with those who do not explicitly reject Israel's right to exist.
Since I can only conclude that testimony by Israel hating "Zionists" like Jimmy Carter would not provide sufficient diversity to meet your needs, representatives from which groups do you suggest should have been added to the panel of experts . . . Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Al Qaeda, Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades or Fatah?
