I wish you could say what do you mean by "reasonable". People have every right to be skeptical of an ex-tabloid editor going on about ethics.  If anything I think my analogy is wrong for  rather unfair comparison. I haven't looked at the Sun coverage but I doubt it if they are defending Israeli's war crime in such a way.

That is an erroneous analogy. I'm sure there are plenty of people in MeCCSA who used to work in some sort of creative industry at some time - if we were discussing the state of the pop music industry would we go away and find out and name people in the debate who had worked in the pop music industry before they became an academic? Would we say they are not competent to pass judgement on the pop music industry because they once worked with Simon Cowell? Would we say that they must be still working in some capacity for Simon Cowell? Or that they are unable to be a legitimate actor in the debate because they have been tainted by working for Simon Cowell?

Please read what I said - I am appalled at the actions of the Israeli government and do not defend them. But let's stick to a reasonable tone in the way we deal with different points of view.

Yes Elina has a right to state "her view and to defend herself in a civilized manner" but lets not hide the fact that her main effort has been to affirm, extend, strengthen and validate Israel's behavior and its  abuse of moral and humanitarian behavior. Of course Elina should not be banned from what his government is denying Palestinians, that is the right to express herself. And also lets not forget that alongside this right she has a safe bunker with internet access. Again that is precisely what has been denied to Palestinians.  As far as her "identity" is concerned I think Karl or no one else would have objected if Kelvin  MacKenzie was posting things on this email list and someone had dared to remind everyone that he used to edited the Sun.

Hello all

While I tend to agree with the majority view here on the disgraceful actions of the Israeli government, I am disturbed by the way this is becoming a trial by smear and slur of Elina. Are we going to do some research on everyone who comments here so we can establish what they may have done in the past that makes them ‘less reliable’? This is becoming rather nasty rather quickly and we would all warn our students from making such ad hominem attacks.

Elina has a complete right to state her views and to defend herself in a civilized manner. Yes, I know Palestinians are being denied that by the Israeli government, but two wrongs do not make a right.

Probably it was Elina who advised her Prime Minster, Benjamin Netanyahu, to establish this programme:

Israel Offers Students Grants If They Tweet Favorable Propaganda. See this:

In a campaign to improve its image abroad, the Israeli government plans to provide scholarships to hundreds of students at its seven universities in exchange for their making pro-Israel Facebook posts and tweets to foreign audiences.
The students making the posts will not reveal online that they are funded by the Israeli government, according to correspondence about the plan revealed in the Haaretz newspaper.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, which will oversee the programme, confirmed its launch and wrote that its aim was to “strengthen Israeli public diplomacy and make it fit the changes in the means of information consumption”.

Dear all,

Just to remind late joiners to the list, that Elina is named on her Linked-In page as an advisor to the Israeli prime minister.

Elina,

You can play the role of the victim as much as you want but won't be able to mislead us. You need to admit that Israel is occupying and looting Palestinian lands, destroying their homes, illegally blockading the Gaza Strip, unjustly put people in prison including children, targeting hospitals and disabled care homes, and unlawful implementing continuing and discriminate attacks. About 1300 civilians killed, 40% children, and thwarting any peace efforts and many other criminal acts. What do you expect? You are very lucky to have a shelter to hide but but Palestinians don't have one. For several times, UN schools used as shelters have been targeted - including one today killing more than 20 people. Please don't give us any 'moral' lessons and only blame your illegal terrorist government.

Milly, this is really nice of you to write for the whole world... Especially about hundreds of dead terrorists whom you call children... (And yes, I am aware of civilian casualties, which is very sad indeed).
And my point regarding rockets is - even if something does't kill you, it does irreversible psychological damage. Just think about it - you are writing me this post from some nice office and I am replying from a very unpleasant bomb shelter. And since we have sirens again, I am sorry, but you will have to continue this important discussion without me.

Well, imagine then what it must have felt like for the hundreds of children who were blown apart by Israeli bombs; imagine the hundreds and hundreds of dead adults; imagine the thousands of injured and maimed, with very little medical help; imagine the mothers who have had to hold their dead children; imagine fleeing to a UN school, because you have nowhere else to go, and still being blown apart by Israeli bombs.

Israel is finally losing its propaganda war. No one believes your lies any more, except you.

I just hope that you called my point of view a "Zionist provocation". It is really flattering, as I have never answered any of "anti-Zionist" posts or emails. This time I really decided that this very interesting and important community has to hear the other voice. The voice of someone, who jumped out of bed once again during the night because of some HAMAS fanatic, who decided to send another rocket to her home town.
PS From personal experience - the siren is much more frightening than a rocket. You keep hearing a siren for 45 seconds and it takes only a few seconds for a rocket to explode.
