This is an absolutely outrage and a disgrace. Anyone associated with Oxford University Union should be ashamed of this debacle. As far as I am concerned, its reputation is in smithereens.

Superlative point, Mark. Not that they were ever in doubt, but the incident does indeed shine 'a light on zionist priorities'. It's hard to believe the Zionists take themselves so seriously when they persist in shooting themselves in the foot like that.

As for the one and two (and three) state solutions, I thought I had that nailed;)

And yet David Irving, the holocaust denier, and Nick Griffin, leader of the UK's fascist British National Party, can argue their poisoned doctrines unimpeded by the undoubted influence of the zionist movement.

Seriously, why would Zionists object to them? Do they call for the destruction of Israel?

No, Griffin and Irving help Zionism reinforce the old canard that "no Jew is safe in a Gentile country, so move to Israel already!"

And gosh, if the Jewish "essence" (per Gilad Atzmon) is as stinky as he says, shouldn't they be confined to their own country, where they can get along with their own kind, and leave off plotting against everybody else?

Yes, Mooser, I've started wondering whether, if the Nazis had won the war before 1942, they might have set up Palestine as a gigantic bantustan for Jews. It certainly isn't inconsistent with Mein Kampf.

Some of us believe that what has saved the Jews countless times has been dispersion. Keeping all the eggs in one basket could have had major consequences had Rommel won at El Alamein. But this is not part of hasbara.

Quite.

In fact Orde Wingate was training Zionist irregulars (Special Night Squads) for just that eventuality. To bad they wound up fighting the British instead.

What happened at Oxford Union was a prime example of the Heckler's Veto. If I disagree with the content of a debate this means that I have not just the right to disassociate myself from it by leaving, but to phone in a bomb threat and shut the Mo Fo down.
