Spedding, above claims to have made those awful reclaims fogel family.

After his political extremism was revealed in J Post, he went about deleting all the sources he could.

The quote given by Barry Rosen is from here: http://abureesh.wordpress.com/2011/07/26/the-truth-about-flotilla-folk/

Spedding deleted this link. However, here you can see where he publicised that link before: https://www.facebook.com/IrishShiptoGaza/posts/223403551036298

well it’s a good thing you’re not wildly racist and generalizing about a whole continent. It will be hard to teach gentiles to adhere to Jewish nationalism– good luck!

In took the police minutes to trace the muddy footprints back to the youth’s village.

It took the police several weeks to make the arrests because the youth’s families were uncooperative. Family members of the youths were later convicted of ‘aiding and abetting’.

That’s because the average Israeli attitude to providing service is “it’s your problem, not mine”. Much stronger than any need to tell a certain narrative.

B’Tselem took us through the deserted parts of Arab Hebron and on to David Wilder, who is a very accomplished speaker. I tried to get to Sderot on my own. Jerusalem Information Bureau knew nothing about visiting the town and did not try to help any further. An internet contact there got cold feet and would not entertain me. Finding the right bus is not straightforward since there are no bus maps in Israel. I did go through the town on the bus in the late afternoon but never saw a hotel so I stayed on the bus. OK so I’m not exactly the intrepid traveller, but I had expected more help from Israeli institutions to see the Israeli narrative.

@Gary

Maybe you can spare us the paper chase and just tell us whether you believe the Fogels were murdered by the two youth convicted of the crime.

Joel & Barry,

Quoting a poorly written article by Sam Westrop (A right wing man who believes in using insults rather than facts) without even giving the source really does you no favors.

If you can provide a link to where I wrote this please do so otherwise you are merely repeating a right-wing attack on me published in the Jerusalem Post which I ignored and which recieved massive negative feedback from readers as an obvious attack upon my character.
