I appreciate, Jim, that you intended no offence. It's just that "Zionism" is a term, & a concept, with a complex history & multiple possible connotations, and so IMO best avoided in the interests of clarity, and an alternative found if possible. "Israeli militancy", say, might be used instead. The Israelis are sure-as-hell a militant lot... The fool a couple of posts back, who appeared to denounce Jesus as "a tiresome git" because he can't control his own sentences, is best ignored. In fact, looking again, I find he is one I have already resolved to ignore, but forgot to read the name at the top for once. Must be more careful! ~M~
