I consider myself moderately well versed in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as European imperialism after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, and he said nothing that was factually incorrect. A solution that robs people of their land through violence and "might makes right" is no different, ultimately, than what Hitler perpetrated onto Poland and the other European countries he stomped over. Ahmadinejad was not anti-Semitic. The cry of Anti-Semitism from Jews upon any critical observation is becoming more and more similar to that of whites crying "The Race Card" when critical observations of white society are raised.

There's a different between something you don't want to hear and something you disagree with. In order to debate and/or discuss something to remedy an issue BOTH sides have to be willing to. Granted these kind of things have been going on for hundreds(thousands) of years, and probably won't be cleared up in a weekend. But it's best to hear the argument before knowing/stating what you disagree with.
