Carl doesn't write for the Muqata blog.<br />2. Every posting on this blog has a byline, and this article was written by Jameel (as it clearly states).<br /><br />The article you've used as a reference to discredit David Bedein, is extremely biased and subjective, and does little to address the actual content of Bedein's research.<br /><br />I will be fisking it point by point tomorrow for the benefit of the Muqata readers.<br /><br />However, to clear the air, I would appreciate if NIF would officially condemn Sheikh Raed Salah's attempts to remove Jewish mezuzuot from the Gates of the Old City of Jerusalem. That would make it much easier to objectively address your concerns.<br /><br />Salaam and Peace.<br /><br />Jameel RashidJameel @ The Muqatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890095633246557332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-62500716032479879922011-01-18T20:43:15.294+02:002011-01-18T20:43:15.294+02:00I am a supporter of the NIF, and also a reader of ...I am a supporter of the NIF, and also a reader of this blog, despite that I disagree with 95% of it.<br /><br />Does the New Israel Fund condemn Sheik Raed Salah's call to remove the Mezuzas from the entrances of the Old City of Jerusalem?NIF-Supporternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-43410599784136639382011-01-18T20:39:20.577+02:002011-01-18T20:39:20.577+02:00Just skimmed through your debunking.

Responsible bloggers would do better than recycle these errors. <br /><br />Lastly, characterizing Adalah's legal representation of any client as "support" would be to blame every criminal defense lawyer with "supporting" the acts of their clients. Such a claim is absurd, because one could hardly say that IDF lawyers assigned to the criminal defense of suspected terrorists in military tribunals "support" their clients. That even convicted terrorists receive fair defense before the law is a hallmark of Israel's vibrant democracy. <br /><br />This post seems to confuse the issues.
