52 Nobel Peace Prize winners have called for the boycott of Israel for its recent attacks in Gaza.
Intellectual bankruptcy: 52 Nobel Peace Prize winners, artists, and activists have called for the boycott of Israel for its recent attacks in Gaza.
And where were these so-called intellectuals when Hamas was lobbing rockets into Israel? For them, I guess it is all right to kill Jews. And God forbid the Jews decide to defend themselves.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

Obvious bias against Israel and the real peace process. This is just another propaganda attack by these Nobel ‘Peace’ Prize winners, that does nothing to move the situation toward peace because they intentionally ignore the violence that the Palestinians have rained down on Israelis. Their true motive is to overthrow any Israeli peace position and hand land and concessions to thugs and the violators of the peace.
Your website is excellent and I look at it every day and find your knowledge and insight into space travel and the cosmos excellent reading, I do however, believe you should keep your Zionist beliefs for another venue, not on this website. Your religion is your religion. Cosmology is the basis of your website-keep it pure.
I’ve always assumed this site is about Bob’s interests. Cosmology, or perhaps more accurately space science , is a major part, but a discerning reader will note other topics such as politics, music, and so forth.
First of all, religion has nothing to do with this story. Arabs have been trying to kill Israelis (who usually happen to be Jews), for the past five decades. They admit it. They relish in it. You have to be willfully blind not to see it, which was the main point of my post. These intellectual elites only get their dander up when Israel tries to defend itself. When Israelis get killed, however, they hardly twitch.
Moreover, there is no more equivalency here. Israel had occupied Gaza, but walked away from it entirely, giving it back to the Palestinians for them to run. Their answer: to elect a terrorist group as their leaders and focus on making bombs and rockets so they can kill Jews. Once again, you have to be willfully blind not to see who is the violent aggressor here.
Second, your method of debate is most interesting. Rather than debate the facts, you make two arguments. First you call me a Zionist with Zionist views. Though being a Zionist is not necessarily evil, you use it as an curse word, without having the slightest idea what the word really means. Its actual definition (someone who wants to reestablish the Biblical Jewish state of Israel) does not apply to me, or to my post. I am not advocating this. I am merely defending the right of all humans to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, without the threat of violence. I am also condemning the bankruptcy of the modern intellectual class, which can’t see a genocidal Islamic terrorist even if that terrorist is holding a knife to their face.
Second, rather than debate the facts, you propose I simply shut up, telling me I shouldn’t write about this stuff on my website. To this I say, too bad. I write what I believe, as a free man. You don’t like what I say, you are free to debate me here, civilly and rationally. My readers know that I welcome criticism.
What I don’t welcome is oppression. And that is your approach to debate.
Even though I don’t really care if the biblical nation of Israel is ever restored, for some reason I feel proud when called a Zionist.
It must have something to do with who is calling me one.
You would probably like this Steven Crowder video, “Isreal vs. the World” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGaXIhT3SRI&feature=player_embedded).
YOU GO! Mr Z, Israel has a RIGHT to exist!
When you think about it, it’s always been Israel -vs- The THUGS of History… Every major civilization that has gone against Israel has lost and fallen by the way-side… The recent islamist thugs will be no diffrent… The problem is that we are living this ‘history’, and HISTORY is not instant, it tends to take a while… In the end, Israel will remain… Just ask Goliath about he faired…
