I debated Jeremy Glick when we were part of a panel talking about the middle east. I knew what to expect from the guy since the O'Reilly episode. Since it was several people, you had to wait your turn to talk. I remember making the guy squirm in his seat. He nearly hit the ceiling when I said,
" I find it curious that everybody wants to bash the U.S. and Israel over the Palestinean issue when there are Palestinean refugee camps over in Syria that nobody here wants to talk about....for that matter I tend to wonder if the Palestineans are just being used as pawns just to up the ante against Israel," Jeremy Glick nearly keeled over and the middle eastern panelists in the Baghdad and Lebanon studios started railing off. Even though our point of view was greatly outnumbered on the panel...we were heard all over the middle east. Let's just say it was freeped well.
That's great! The use of the Palestinian "refugees" has been abominable, from what I've heard. Interestingly, they are the only refugee population who's childeren also count as refugee's, thanks to the UN. Isreal is creating more "refugees" every day by continuing to exist.
After watching the O'Reilly clip, and listening to Glick on a radio show (also on Thought Crime) I get the impression that he hoped to get the reaction from O'Reilly that he got. He didn't have to debate what he said, got lots of sympathy and publicity, and cast a big shadow over O'Reilly's viewpoint. Kind of like a martyr to his cause. I think he outfoxed O'Reilly.
