Ignatieff is certainly coming across as being simple-minded. I can't believe what a whore he is. I have to admit, given his credentials, I was expecting better.
I remember reading a poster to the late, great Liberty Forum who surmised that the reason for the Gaza pullout was just to get the settlers out of the way so IDF could go in for the kill. Looks like he knew what he talking about.
The news from the Red Cross and the Canadians who have been evacuated is horrifying. While some Jews are standing up and condemning this atrocity, occupying consulates etc. it seems too little too late. In equating anti-semitism with anti-Zionism it is the Zionists who have dragged the entire Jewish diaspora into the fray, not those who somehow suffer from a completely irrational hatred of of Jews as if it were some kind of mental illness. In sixty years, the Jewish people have yet to own up to the terrorism, mass-murder and criminality that created the state of Israel and continues to expand it with the blood of the actual descendants of Abraham - the Jews, Christians and Muslims who lived together peacefully in Palestine for centuries.
Instead its been rah, rah, rah Hadassah-bazaar making-the-desert-bloom support for the state of Israel.
And no I could not find an in context source for the Begin quote. Although the citer is an Israeli journalist, there is some dispute as to whether or not Begin was referring to Palestinian suicide bombers or all Palestinians. I'll have go to the Talmud for what Jews should think of non-Jews but I don't like to paste that kind of hate online.
