Dear BRUCE OF THE BEARD,

I find your use of CAPITALS (selective) EXTREMELY ANNOYING. Why do you do this? I also find that your predilection to mix arguments verges on the disingenuous. You have been asked on a number of occasions to articulate the reasons why Palestinian / Israeli problems PERSIST. What I have gathered from your response is that you justify the existence of Israel on the basis that the "VICTORIOUS ALLIES" authorised it. Not once do you even nod towards a possibility that there may be reasonable Palestinian cause for HOSTILITY towards an overbearing and aggressive neighbour which sidesteps UN mandates apparently at will.

Of course, it is always POSSIBLE that I have missed something more ENLIGHTENED in your contributions. Truth to tell, I find it very difficult to STAY AWAKE when reading your RANTS. That is all.
