Grass would only look foolish
Reader comment on: Gunter Grass Shouldn't Be Barred From Israel
Submitted by Mark Rogers, Apr 9, 2012 12:34
I entirely agree that the decision to bar Grass from entering Israel should be reversed. A visit to the country, hosted along the lines that Alan Dershowitz suggests here in the article, would only make Grass look foolish, thereby encouraging him to reconsider his beliefs of Israel perhaps.

Future Russian Strategic Challenges
by Peter Huessy and Mark B. Schneider
The current administration is in a poor position to negotiate with Russia. There are press reports that the administration will attempt to evade Congressional approval of a new arms control agreement.
Russia's Brinkmanship with US Clashes with Israel's Security
by Yaakov Lappin
Jerusalem will find Russia's delivery of the S-300 missile system to Syria to be an intolerable development; it is safe to assume that Israel will act to prevent this from happening.
Fatah's Drive Against "Normalization"
by Khaled Abu Toameh
The Fatah activists who are threatening Palestinian teenagers for talking to Israelis and playing football with them are the same people who claim, at least in public, that they support the peace process with Israel. But how can there ever be a peace process when anyone who meets with an Israeli is immediately denounced as a traitor? It is worth noting that most of these denunciations are coming form the "moderate" Fatah, and not from Hamas.
The U.S. Role in the Sunni-Shi'ite Conflict
by Harold Rhode
America should back only pro-American forces who do not privately finance or publicly promote hatred against the U.S. It is in America's interest to rid the Muslim world of the Islamic fundamentalist forces whose goals and actions are inimical to American and Western interests; not to cozy up to them.
Growing Threats to Academic Freedom
by Edward S. Beck
Hawking's behavior is based on inaccurate, biased information. If he has insightful thoughts about resolving the Israeli-Palestinian issues, let him come and share them. Stating them at the conference is the way for them to have impact.
