...and his exchange is not directly part of that debate. Michael Kearney I think it's actually Al Sham, rather than Syria, to which the final S in ISIS refers. Al Sham is the name used for the region which covers modern Syria, Lebanon, Israel & Palestine… It's a significant distinction! Benjamin Davis Just a modest quibble which is on the "A world of geopolitical water has gone under the bridge since the U.S. invaded Afghanistan in 2001." This phrase reminds me of the use of passive voice by various Administrations...

...a false negative, e.g. letting an inciter commit his vile crime–which would be catastrophic. Professor Gregory Stanton of Mary Washington University and GenocideWatch and Dr Rony Blum of Hebrew University and Yale University and I have advocated shifting the focus of genocide law and preventive activity from proof of intent after the event to prediction and prevention. (Memorandum submitted to Council of Foreign Relations, April 2006, via Paul Fold of US Senate Foreign Relations Committee). As is known to everyone in this discussion, The Rome Statute of the ICC, which...

...because he defended the wall built in Palestine, the massacre of Jenin, the acts of the government against its people in Bahrein. On the other hand, the other lawyer you admire, H. Koh, justified the invasion of Grenada and he is not liked in NY for his defense of drones. I called them club of invaders since the countries they represent have ivaded other countries, like Chile who invaded Bolivia in 1879, if you didn't know. So, there's lot of water under the bridge in the problem between Bolivia and...

...Ahmadinejad will "support" Palestinian efforts at self-determination, and he will "support" fellow Muslims in the region, but this is just to counter Israeli aggression and occupation. You do not say what form this "support" will take. Sounds like you concede he is a threat until certain conditions occur, but in your view it is all fully justified as countermoves to Israeli and American action. You further suggest he will cease to be an objective threat once (1) Palestine achieves statehood and self-governance; and (2) the U.S. ceases to attempt to...

...in comparison to Eugene's tone in responding to me at Volokh and the incredibly sanctimonious tone of Judge Kozinski's opinion. Peter Orlowicz Professor Heller, You're correct about the titles of your recent piracy posts. On the other hand, for recent examples, I'd point to your Libya posts toward the beginning of February, or your commentary regarding Palestine at the UN on January 23rd, or the pieces immediately preceding that discussing Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy and the U.S. military. To be clear, I'm not suggesting that every time you post...

...couple's new pregnancy. Finally, having lost my patience with them, the police, and the courts, I demanded that the couple leave before they actually started a family in my basement. THEY then called the police and I was charged with infanticide. I was furious every minute, lying here in jail, until I read this argument about Palestine. I now see the light, thank you. Patrick I expect that it is only 5% of the time that I would find myself on KJH's side of this argument, but this is such...

...think attacking children is of such evil that those who have done this deed should be hunted down. Marko Milanovic I fully understand how emotions can get heated on Israel and Palestine, on both ends, but I would sincerely advise Prof. Bernstein to be a bit more charitable in his interpretation of the views of others; others then can and should extend the same courtesy to him. There is no need to assume the worst of other colleagues, especially when they have not given any cause for this - quite...

...innocent victims -- and hope that the payments provide them with at least some protection. Kevin Peter Spiro Hey Kevin, How about the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act? jvarisco Would it be all right for a multinational working in Palestine or Iraq to pay Hamas or al Qaeda? I'm not sure the comparison is necessarily valid, but someone in the justice department might. Iheke There is always a certain amount of risk when commenting blind, however, primarily if we can agree that the mere act of trading in Columbia is not...

...More specifically, the Spanish state has so far refused to start an offical exhumation of hidden mass grave sites from the Spanish civil war and the subsequent totalitarian regime. At the same time, Audencia Nacional has dealt with alleged crimes in Argentina, Guatemala, Palestine, to name only a few. It must be also recognised that a number of violations of several internationally and domesticallly recognised human rights are taking on daily basis in a number of regions in Spain. In short, Spain has a number of domestic human rights and...

Kirk H. Sowell I think El Baredei's speech is incredibly bad, and perhaps indicative of why the otherwise highly competent IAEA is so ineffecitve. The argument that poverty breeds conflict is without foundation. India is populous and very poor, but largely peaceful, because it has free institutions and a socio-economic system that allows people to work thinks out without killing each other. Where there is conflict, be it in Israel/Palestine, Chechnya, the Sudan or Congo, it is because of a specific political, tribal or religious system, or in the latter...

...Federation of Algerian Journalists (FJA), at the Press House of Kouba (Algiers), Swedish journalist said the theft of Palestinian martyrs' organs "began in 1960 and increased after the Intifada." Journalist Donald Bostrom who published on August 17, 2009 a story entitled "they steal our children's organs," in Aftonbladet newspaper, said organ theft doesn't concern Palestinian martyrs only, but also other foreign people killed in Palestine. Wonder where is the international media from this story is it as same as Mohammad cartons when all talking and calling Islam/ Muslims are terrorists...
