His willingness to pejoratively castigate academics (see Stephen Walt) who disagree with his point of view demonstrates a naiveté in intellectual argument. There are many legitimate reasons to disagree with the policies of the Israeli government, despite claims of it being an ally of “democracy.” The state of Israel is democratic insofar its Jewish citizenry...
