For example, Danny-boy, a number of the folk on this board are ethnic Jews. Some of whom do not support Israel at all, some who are selectively supportive of Israel and some who normally support Israel.

Perhaps a little thinking and research would be helpful.

But then, by D-b's logic, aren't those Jews who do not support Israel at all, or who are selectively supportive of Israel, and those some who normally support Israel, but not one-hundred percent unquestioningly, self-hating Jews?

Well,

You could SAY that, I s'pose but t'would be best not to be TOO close when you did! Very Happy Legitimate criticism of a government's action does not mean any kind of hatred. Not everything a government does stands up to day's light.

Simply because you do not like the book is no reason to ban it. Oh and for the record, anti-israel DOES NOT EQUAL anti-semitic.

Yes but with Israel people are hiding a deep seated anti-semitism and it should not be allowed, no one should be allowed to question Israel since that is the refuge of anti-semitism.
Anyway why dont people talk about china or Russia?? instead.

China and Russia aren't at the center of the conflict between the West and the Middle East. They have nothing to do with the book that Mearsheimer and Walt are writing, which is what this thread is, at least nominally, about.

Some books deserve to be banned, this happens to one of them. It is important to prevent certain ideas becoming prevelant as it leads to people going crazy about their views of the world and other people.

Indeed - being free to determine on one's own what one will or will not publish or read is what Freedom of Speech is all about; one neither is to be compelled to publish or to read anything nor to be prevented from doing so - it works both ways or not at all.
