OK, he's just a stinking terrorist: Shin Bet foils plot to kill Olmert
Mazab Bashir, 25, from the Deir el-Balah refugee camp in Gaza, began working for Doctors Without Borders five years ago and received a permit from the IDF to travel to Jerusalem for work...
No good deed and all...Dr. Frankfurter points out that Medecins sans Frontieres (Doctors without Borders) has itself routinely exploited its mission for political purposes. Perhaps a little self examination is in order.

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!

Commenting here on the Joel Beinin link: all three of those people (two of whom I vaguely know) sound completely deranged. You can see how people who don't have any particular interest in the Israeli-Arab conflict decide that "all those people are crazy", the way the SDP'ers have convinced my neighbors of that.
All zealots appear that way. It's really hard to be interested in politics or activist in any way and still appear completely well adjusted to "normal" (apathetic) people. It's a difficult line to tread.
The SDP people (and related types) are a really good example of how not to be to try avoiding this. They're still at it, though.
