I recall a documentary about Dershowitz and Jimmy Carter facing off about Carter’s book “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid.” Brandeis University originally wouldn’t have Carter unless he debated the Dershowitz.
An interview with Noam Chomsky also comes to mind wherein he dresses down Carter on a number of scores, one of them being the Camp David Accords, which Chomsky asserts led to a dramatic increase in U.S. military aid to Israel. Would you say the Accords were on the balance detrimental? Palestine wasn’t at the bargaining table, I believe Sadat delegated ‘the Palestine question’ to Jordan, and then if I understand Egypt was booted from the Arab league which some blame for regional destabilization, I assume because Saddam Hussein was emboldened.
Last one, sorry for the flurry of questions. Your saying “the lady doth protest..” made me think Harold Bloom. Any particular feeling about him? I find his passion for literature seductive but a part of me rebels against the snobbery which I’m not sure if I’m really being fair to impute- especially to someone who called out the lunacy of academia as unforgivingly as he did.

I feel about the same...particularly the snobbery
I once had a teacher in college who had us all buy Harold's book just so that we could all talk shit about it together. Not a good school.
