Thanks. After watching an Assange interview with Southern Lebanon's

I relistened to the first 2/3rds. He is an establishment slime. The question 
is what establishment? That I don't know. Is he better or worse than what?

Anyway, the motive for attacking Butler is because she is clearly part of

liberal-left Jewish intelligencia. I mean you don't need to bring up 
Nasrallah in order to denounce Israel. They seem perfectly capable of 
hanging themselves with their own words and deeds.
