Wars are caused by old men, in council rooms apart 

who plan for greater armament, and plot the battle chart

But where their sightless eyes lookout, beyond life's vanished joys

I noticed nearly all the dead, were hardly more than boys 

 

This is from memory, I cannot find the Author. Sorry

It is so reminiscent of the Nazi era when "superior" people decided on a final solution for groups they designated "inferior". Millions of people, including six million Jews, were slaughtered as a result.

Mr. Dershowitz is not presently advocating "extermination", but what is the logical conclusion to such arbitrary valuations of human beings? It seems obvious to me, that He learned nothing from the holocaust. 

He has lost my respect, is that enough to put me on his list of undesirables?
