""But Jim, that film by all accounts would appear to support Keith's contention that it is not the people of Israel, but their political & military leaders, against popular opinion, who are responsible for the controversial and unacceptable Israeli actions; which Don keeps attempting to scout with the reiterated assertion that the government was elected by the people. The film seems to confirm a high degree of popular dissent from the governmental and military position, doesn't it?""

Mike, I simply cannot believe that you have just turned my whole input to this thread on its head.

THAT IS A VILE ACTION ON YOUR PART!

I have spent the whole of this thread emphasising that my argument is not, repeat NOT with the Israeli people, who I believe are being railroaded to destruction by ""the "murderous" government and "merciless" military""

Keith, on the other hand posted the following:-

I have no quarrel with the people of Israel, but simply and solely with their murderous government and merciless military.


The government is elected by the people of Israel.
The IDF is the people of Israel.

The first sentence, which I have highlighted, was a copy paste without attribution of my previous post, or rather a snippet out of context as is Keith's wont.

The rest is his comment, and I find it hard to believe that you have sunk so low as to try to reverse our positions.

That's it! I don't mind argument, but I draw the line at libel.

I am out of this cesspit of bigotry and I hope you all enjoy yourselves lying about each other.

Don T.
