EXCERPT:
REMNICK: “What I can report is that the former prime minister of Israel, Ehud Olmert, calls these war crimes. What I can report is that Olmert Bartov, who is probably the leading scholar, Israeli born, fought in the 1973 war, teaches at Brown. What he says is that this amounts to genocidal behavior on the part of the Israeli government. I can report that Moshe 'Bogie' Yaalon, former Defense Minister under Netanyahu, who broke with Netanyahu, talks about ethnic cleansing in Gaza. So these are not just severe critics of Israel who innately hate Israel. These are also people within the Israeli establishment, as well as scholarly critics like Bartov. So this can't be easily dismissed as the terrible rhetoric of enemies of Israel.”
