I am an academic at the University of East London and have held visting positions in the netherland, Palestine and Malaysia – but have never been in the military.

John Strawson is Reader in Law at the University of East London. He is the editor of Law After Ground Zero (2002).

Sounds more like a writer who wants to make some money than an academic lawyer who wants to explain the legal ins and outs of this or that situation.

Partitioning Palestine: Legal Fundamentalism in the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict by John Strawson (Paperback – 1 Jan 2010)

After the 1967 war, Israel organised an occupation with excessive legalism that most of the world viewed, in fact, as illegal. Partitioning Palestine focuses on three key moments in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict: the League of Nations Mandate, the United Nations partition plan and the Oslo agreements. None of these documents are neutral but, rather, encode a variety of meanings.

For example, the notorious Chinkin letter was co-signed by someone called Strawson.

The name was so familiar I looked him up.

Here’s a snip from Amazon:

John Strawson describes joining the 4th Hussars in the Middle East in 1942

Can an Arabist be fair?

re personal gain – someone called Ilan pointed out on CW’s thread about Whitaker’s comments on CIF that Whitaker, who is the person who selects the CIF articles, runs his own blog, with an Arabic title – al-Bab – the Door – on the side ..

Talk about personal gain, lack of ethics ….

Its always interesting to see those comments on CiF that include statements like

“I bet this comment will be deleted”

or

“you can never say anything negative about Israel without being deleted ”

Or

” the world never says anything about the the suffering of the Palestinians”

over and over again, and of course the comments are not deleted

These comments are in response to the endless articles attacking Israel that just go on and on, with the same largely anti-Semitic mindless hamsters pushing the same anti-Israeli wheel round and round day after day.

Good collection of comments for use the day that the Guardian has to stand in the dock.

The current Freedman thread has another great selection of nasty and fallacious comments going there, though there are several complaints from various commentators saying something like:

“Enough already – you’re boring us!!”

unless they are the proxies of the Palestinian fictions all these Jew-haters promote…

Very true that these comments wouldn’t stand out on Stormfront and similar sites — there are also some Russian sites like that.
