I don't know how this man ever got labelled a "public intellectual" at all when he clearly has absolutely no capability of providing any actual evidence or arguments.

Also, he said that in 2011... Israel would be peaceful with its neighbours? But I think we could've all predicted what's happening now in 2011 because of all that Israel (and its allies, to be clear) did to ensure that the "most peaceful democracy in the Middle East" or whatever it was called... would be able to commit the genocide and launch additional assaults (that also appear increasingly genocidal) that's happening today. I don't think, even in 2011, I would've said anything about the "peace" that was happening in a nation-state that was already engaging in clear segregation and an apartheid regime.
