12. Lulz..... Mahmoud Abbas doesn't support terror either, nor does Mondoweiss - right?

Who do you think you're kidding? Here's Levy being congratulated at Mondoweiss for writing that it's Palestinians' right and duty to resist.

The only restrictions are on the means of resistance. The Palestinians have tried almost all of them, for better and worse – negotiations and terror; with a carrot and with a stick; with a stone and with bombs; in demonstrations and in suicide. All in vain. Are they to despair and give up? This has almost never happened in history, so they’ll continue. Sometimes they’ll use legitimate means, sometimes vile ones. It’s their right to resist.

Couldn't be more clear. It's their right to resist, even if by vile means.
And what's the reaction from the Mondoweiss author?
Does he read it the same way I read it?
Let's see...

Within the Israeli political spectrum, Levy’s writing is incendiary. Calling for Palestinian resistance is a clarion call to resist his own government. To resist Israeli soldiers. Settlers.

Treason?

The means are open. Levy doesn’t shut down armed resistance – specifically. But that and other forms of Palestinian resistance have failed. So the means are open. They’re also exhausted and failing.

The only way to read Gideon Levy is as a terror supporter.
When Hamas and friends read that, they must read it as support.
This is nothing but incitement to terror.

You're completely contradicting yourself. Why the change? shira Jul 2016 #19

I must admit that I probably missed or ignored the stab (no pun) at Levy in that article, Little Tich Jul 2016 #20

You support Levy's argument that terrorists have no other choice? n/t shira Jul 2016 #21

I personally don't like putting it like that. It diminishes the moral agency in terrorism. Little Tich Jul 2016 #22

Levy argues they have no other choice but terror & that's incitement.... shira Jul 2016 #23
