Rather than engaging in ad-hominem attacks and cheap propaganda, we should be engaging with the issues. As the UN special rapporteur for human rights, Richard Falk, said: 

"The recent developments in Gaza are especially disturbing because they express so vividly a deliberate intention on the part of Israel and its allies to subject an entire human community to life-endangering conditions of utmost cruelty. The suggestion that this pattern of conduct is a holocaust-in-the-making represents a rather desperate appeal to the governments of the world and to international public opinion to act urgently to prevent these current genocidal tendencies from culminating in a collective tragedy.  " (http://www.transnational.org/Area_MiddleEast/2007/Falk_PalestineGenocide.html)

If you don't want to be part of such a group, that is your choice. All others are welcome to join and should not be intimidated by such a bigoted statements.

good idea Mr. Seddon. I expect a superb scholarly product. Verso will surely publish the serious scholarly papers that will come out of it.  Der Guardian will surely review it favorably. I attach a contribution towards the graphic design.

ps, maybe you could also use the title "My Struggle" in the example of another fruitful colleague.
