Travers has NEVER BEEN IN COMBAT! As a member of the IDF ... umm ... Irish Defence Forces :-} that is no surprise. From what is freely available the closest he got to combat was as a peacekeeper in Cyprus. In other words, he is a REMF. Since he never faced any enemy other than professional rivals of course he is critical of REAL COMBAT VETERANS. It would be better to rely on Military Professionals who have actually been at war. Of course most of them are rather sympathetic to what Israel is facing. So why would the UN ask them? As best as I can tell from searching the internets, Col. Travers has NEVER BEEN IN COMBAT!

Either they are antisemitic out of conviction (a rare breed I suspect), due to antisemitism now being the party line of almost all the Leftists, or are antisemitic out of cowardice in the face of Muslim aggresiveness. These...people...say they are anti-Zionist, not antisemitic. Except for outfits like Netura Kartei (they are not antisemitic, just fanatically stupid) I regard this as specious. Israel's enemies seek Israel's destruction and the genocide of Israel's Jewish inhabitants. The "critics" of Israel stand in support of this goal. Therefore they stand in support of renewed genocide of the Jews. Supporting genocide of the Jews is antisemitic. QED. The Court of World Opinion is made up of antisemites.

He told the Forward that his commission would prove nothing in a court of law and yet in the same interview he inisted that Israel must refute the allegations or stand convicted of the "charges" of violating international law. Clearly he believed that Israel was guilty until proven innocent. This is true of Judge Goldstone too, as I’ve written many times.
