"Thread drift is thread drift"
Wha.....?
My comment is addressed at Keith's attempts to once again steer the discussion away from the awkward bits and into his comfort zone - it has been his regular practice as long as I have had anything to do with him on this forum
His statement
"It was not an invitation to rehash a hundred arguments.
If you must discuss Israel again, do it elsewhere."
I have become extremely tired of his arrogant proprietorial behaviour and have warned him about it on numerous occasions.
As far as I am concerned, these threads go wherever the contributors go wherever the contributors choose to take them, and whoever attempts to prevent them from doing so is indulging in censorship.
I would be extremely disappointed to learn that you were supporting him in his efforts.
Examples of Zionist, Christian, Buddhist, Bush Baptist... whatever fundamentalism will, and should be part of all these discussion, which are essentially about the misuse of religions for other purposes.
Much of the problems of Muslim fundamentalism today rise directly from the problems of the Middle East, and ring-fencing Israel as a no-go area in these discussions is to exclude a major player in the conflict.
A massacre of 3,500 unarmed Muslim refugees by a different sect of Muslims, facilitated by a Zionist influenced state is an example of religious fundamentalism gone viral.
That massacre, along with Keith's blanket support for its facilitators, is perfectly valid for discussion here.
Please don't disappoint me further in following him up his censorship road.
He is certainly not the brightest starfish in the sand-bucket; you really should know better.
