Give the Professor a break. Some of us have been warning of this until we are blue in face. The media won't listen. But we aren't Alan Dershowitz. He has some credibility with the liberal press. (The Professor is liberal, but he's not stupid -- at least where it comes to Israel.)
I would like to see the Professor work up a legal case for charging every terrorist with civilian deaths on both sides of the conflict, since they (1) target noncombatants on our side and (2) hide among noncombatants to insure civilian casualties on their side.
Actually, he's building a legal case for suing states that harbor terrorists and fund them. If we can't fight them, we can take their money and freeze their assets.
I heard him speak in Toronto. Great speaker, and sounded like a good long-term plan.
