Barak responded to judge posner point of view like a child being sent to the corner... it's quite clear that being a known litigator does not come with debating skills!

כמו כל דיקטטורים מצדיקים למה הם כאלה. ברק פגע במדינת ישראל הרבה מעבר למה שאנחנו יודעים.

Why is he speaking soo long? Giving the guest so much less time. Can't you be mindful of the guest ?

Barak's final argument can be turned around 180 degrees. Israel is at war all the time, so it doesn't have the luxury that the US does of losing. And his statement that Canada and the UK agree with him means nothing. I would have expected something better than an appeal to authority.
