I prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that a pernicious double standard has been applied to judging Israel's actions: that even when Israel has been the best or among the best in the world, it has often been accused of being the worst or among the worst in the world. I also prove that this double standard has not only been unfair to the Jewish state but that it has damaged the rule of law, wounded the credibility of international organizations such as the United Nations, and encouraged Palestinian terrorists to commit acts of violence in order to provoke overreaction by Israel and secure one-sided condemnation of Israel by the international community.

From Allan Dershowitz's long-overdue new book. I have to admit to liking Dersh despite his flaws. The man debated Noam Chomsky twice and the second time smacked him around so bad that Chomsky has, thus far, refused to even entertain the notion of debating Dershowitz again. He's a partisan for Israel and he doesn't take shit from nobody, nohow. We need more like him.
