Notes

Ignore the first ~two thirds of the diff since the original only partially quotes Acker. The point is that Jewish Voice For Peace UMich inverted the meaning of his statement. Acker has pointed this inversion out himself. Sam Dodge provided the original source (ironically misquoting it, too).
