Have you really checked these sources, Wikifan? Gideon Shimoni, for one, is no supporter of the apartheid analogy: quite the contrary, he has written explicitly in opposition to it. I am sure he would object to being put in your list. See the references to Shimoni's views in the "Israel and the Apartheid Analogy" under the Criticisms of the Apartheid Analogy section. In any case, your list is a bit beside the point. So what if this or that person says this or that? Opinion on any subject is divided, and every country has its radical critics both within and without. Mere opinion is neither here nor there. But no other country has such a list of critics separately posted in Wikipedia, as the subject of a separate article. Isn't that a bit odd? It suggests double standards, don't you think? Perhaps we ought to create a distinct article on "Double Standards applied to Israel"? I mean that seriously, by the way. That might be more interesting.Tempered (talk) 09:13, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
