Yoram advised in such a bad manner (the way you exposed) the Israeli govn't?
His reports, AFA I read, look very specific and precise.
Go to Yoram Web Site (Labat).
I truly think Yoram criticized Dr. Pipes to get the attention of the public towards the existence of his consulting company, in order to improve profits.
True he may not be bright enough but in a matter of studying patterns, he looks somehow competent.
The way he retreated from his initial position against foreigners' comments on Israel's policy, the timeframe of the retreat, along with the new argument he exposes towards getting again Dr. Pipes Feed Back, shows me a (supposed) pattern of wanting to be consistently cited by danielpipes.org, a very well known Web Site- according also to Google's source.
To me smells and sounds as Propaganda for free.
He is NOT against Dr. Pipes or Dr. Pipes line, meaning that he is not a CAIR's style creature or a leftist...He is pro Israel in his essence.....
Instead of writing privately to Dr. Pipes expressing his concerns, he does that publicly and with a lot of fingers and fragility...
This is so true that again, his retrieval from the starting position upon which he built his main argument at first, vanished on a heartbeat, technically speaking.
Yet, important to remind that if such a un-prepared guy protects Israel, we are in a bad shape, of course.
Thanks the Universe, Dr. Pipes already wrote his answer, under the title of a Final Reply so no more propaganda for Yoram is to be made.
As it says in my land:
"...Please, speak out about me...even tough it is a bad commentary, b/c it is better to be commented about badly, than not having commentaries about " me" at all"...
