The Cambridge University Israel Society have cancelled a talk by former Cambridge student Benny Morris after pressure from students.

BTW, Benny Morris is the Israeli historian who once declared in an interview (in 2004) "Palestinians should be "contained so that they will not succeed in murdering us. Something like a cage has to be built for them. I know that sounds terrible. It is really cruel. But there is no choice. There is a wild animal there that has to be locked up in one way or another."
I disagree. There IS a choice. If you don't like the locals, you can go back to Europe!..

ReplyDeleteI take it the Zionists do respect human life and the rule of law.
