Views on Targeted killing notable?[edit]

The source is an oppinion piece for a local newspaper. Is there any evidence that his views on this subject are notable?93.96.148.42 (talk) 05:43, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Without a doubt. Given his background (Judge, Columbia Law Professor, etc.) it is difficult to imagine someone whose opinions would be more notable.--Epeefleche (talk) 06:19, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ngo monitor and idi? surprising[edit]

I read about Sofaer while reading about a comparison with BenVeniste here[1] (while reading about 9/11 conspiracies here[2] (while looking at all the various UFO/magnetic propulsion/energy transmission and other 'free energy' claims here[3] that someone (my mother) asked me to see and remark about in a private email, but got me going... I was looking for the Benveniste from the 'water memory' affair)).
As an Israeli, it seems weird to me and surprising that the Israel Democratic Institute, usually associated with the Israeli left and sometimes far left, would have someone on board, who is also a member of NGO monitor which vigorously fights the left.

After reading a bit more, it seems that the IDI (Israel Democracy Institute) takes a neo-conservative view on financial topics, sometimes with involvement in controversial affairs, such as the involvement in funding affairs of Ehud Olmert or dubious ties to various ministers and politicians (see here in Hebrew on whistle-blower website Rotter.Net) but the Israeli personnel running it, are liberals, leaning to the left, and some to the extreme left usually associated with ties to parties of the European left. These Israelis are all considered left on the topic of the "Two State Solution" and "peace vs. territories" (see here[4]) some associated with the Kadima party. Which leads me to my next edit... פשוט pashute ♫ (talk) 06:36, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
