At a time when jews and Israelis need to be united in their goal to destroy Hamas and terror evil as the absolute top priority, people like Mr Rosensaft and like minded Lapid are vivid reminders of historical treason events at the core of many upheavals.
Mr Rosensaft should do himself and his ancestry a favour and have a good hard look at himself.
I also think that he hasn’t got many – if any – ‘fans’ for his narrative here, so perhaps not publishing these unproductive, misguided and indeed offensive rants could be considered.

Israel went through a decade series of elections, attempting unsuccessfully to unseat Netanyahu. During the only term when Netanyahu and Likud were voted out of office, and with Biden in the White House, Hamas took the opportunity of planning October 7th. It appears the anti-Bibi brigade now wishes to use Hamas to unseat Netanyahu.

The writer may not agree with their policies, but I have no doubt that Bibi and his cabinet do care. The writer does not put his life on the line by defending Israel, or pay taxes or vote in Israel’s elections, but he still thinks he can pontificate from the University campuses, that will still hate him no less for being Jewish. Let’s just remember that it was Hamas and not the leaders of Israel that murdered the hostages. Time for people outside of Israel to tone down the hateful rhetoric and to direct their outrage to the people who truely do not care about Israel as a Jewish state.

Prof Rosensaft. I am a gentile Zionist from Rural New Zealand. Hamas must be destroyed Lot, stock and Barrel. The philadelphi line must remain Israeli occupied territory or Gaza will never be free if it is handed back to Hamas. If Biden wants his hostages back he should send in the 101st Airborne Division into gaza and help Israeli forces to clean out the strip. So far he has done Nothing to get any hostage out.

“Without question, Netanyahu and his security cabinet sealed the hostages’ fate and knowingly, deliberately signed their death warrant….” Wow – what an authority on the facts Rosensaft claims to be…
I question the author’s sanity and whether he is fit to pass such wild opinions that defy logic and clearly indicate a total lack of perspective…
Any lawyer and certainly any law professor shuold know life is never black and white and political comment based upon media reports can never be certain and “without question”
He may strongly dislike Bibi and the Likud but to claim with such conviction that anyone in Israel – in the Knesset – in the military – does not want only the best outcome for the hostages and securirty for Israel is frankly insanely ridiculous ….and downright dangerous!
