Bluster Mr Shaw? I have provided hard facts that happen to be a matter of record. I notice that you do not dispute a single one - you were after all requested by me to do so where applicable.

If actions taken by an internationally recognised sovereign government in self-defence and actions taken in order to ensure the safety of its civilian population can be termed as "bad behaviour" then so many are guilty that the term becomes meaningless as they represent the norm.

In Israel's case the country has been under threat of attack or under actual attack since it's independence was declared on the 14th May 1948. Threaten any nation or any people with annihilation and generally that will be laughed off as a joke. Not so with the Jews and Israel primarily as down through history precisely that has been tried wherever they have settled ever since they were driven from their homeland. No joke to them, they take it deadly seriously - if you threaten Israel or attack Israel then you do so in the full realisation that retribution will follow as certainly as night follows day.

"the sort of stuff that would never be tolerated here" If here is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland then I have given you instances and detailed the circumstances under which such stuff has not only tolerated here but actively encouraged and supported by the vast majority of the population of the Kingdom.

As for a mug that has swallowed a line of complete and utter bullshit please contradict my assessment of the desire for a Two State Solution on the part of those representing the "Palestinians" - show me the borders of these two states as perceived by the "Palestinians".
