Chomsky Declares Saudi Initiative Truly Awesome. Neglects To Mention "Mandatory Israeli Suicide" Clause.
And now another twenty or thirty self-styled sophisticates, determined not only to be smarter but also morally superior to all those warmongering pro-Israel rednecks, have their excuse:
Very well done. We're impressed - this is a neat trick:
(1) The UN convinces Israel to stand down in 1973, accepting particular terms grounded in particular resolutions that have nothing to do with the Right of Return
(2) Then, after a few years have passed, the UN turns on Israel and fails to legally pass new binding resolutions that would demand more than Israel would ever have accepted. Textbook case of trying to move the goalposts.
(3) This suddenly becomes the apex of moral and diplomatic authority.
Typical.
