Francis A. Boyle, anti-Israel/anti-American propagandist One of the most dangerous anti-Israel/anti-American propagandists in America today is Francis A. Boyle. He is an international law professor at the University of Illinois (which doesn't say much for either the American Bar Association or the University of Illinois), a former legal advisor to the Palestinian Delegation to the Middle East Peace Negotiations from 1991 to 1993, and formerly served on the board of directors of Amnesty International from 1988-1992 (where he was instrumental in forming their anti-Israel policy.) Yet I find absolutely nothing refuting his voluminous distortions in the JCPA archives. Just a quick Google search will give ample evidence of his hateful (and hate full) fabrications. You could check out a little article of his at Ramallah Online (http://www.ramallahonline.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1604) There you will find quotes such as "For their own different reasons, both gangs also worked hand-in-hand to support Israel's genocidal Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, an internationally acknowledged war criminal." and "President Bush Jr. hired about 20 Straussians to occupy key positions in his administration, intentionally taking offices where they could push American foreign policy in favor of Israel and against its chosen enemies such as Iraq, Iran, Syria, and the Palestinians. Most of the Straussian Neo-Cons in the Bush Jr. administration and elsewhere are Israel-firsters: What is "good" for Israel is by definition "good" for the United States. Dual loyalties indeed." That is minor compared to the anti-Israel vitriol that is in his paper "A New Direction for the Palestinian People" (http://www.mediamonitors.net/francis3.html) He not only repeats and exaggerates the standard propaganda, he calls for "the de facto suspension of Israel throughout the entirety of the United Nations System, including the General Assembly and all U.N. subsidiary organs and bodies" and gives details of how to legally effect this end. He also states that he has "... great respect for Palestinian negotiators. They have done the best they can negotiating in good faith with the Israeli government that has been invariably backed up by the United States. But there has never been any good faith on the part of the Israeli government either before, during or after Oslo. Ditto for the United States." This page has links to several of his other articles that I strongly urge you to examine as well. His most recent publication, though, is why I am writing. It is called Palestine, Palestinians, and International Law (http://www.counterpunch.org/boylebiglie.html). In it he reiterates every lie that the Arabs have dreamed up in their campaign to destroy Israel and replace it with 'Palestine". I won't bother to put in quotes here; the entire article, indeed every sentence, is entirely made up of flagrant anti-Israeli and anti-American perversions of the truth!

A year and a half ago, Boyle published an attack on Justus Reid Weiner. Mr. Weiner's son, Amidan, wrote a letter defending his father to Boyle. Boyle's reply is copied below: >From: Boyle, Francis >Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 6:29 PM >To: 'Amidan Weiner'; Boyle, Francis >Cc: CPRR-ROR list (CPRR-ROR list) >Subject: RE: my dad, >The truth of the matter is, your father is a War Criminal for what he did >to the Palestinians--protected persons within the meaning of the Fourth >Geneva Convention--while he worked for the Israeli Ministry of Injustice. >And you can tell him I said that. >Francis A.
