It's the mental leaps that make debate here infantile.

So by criticising Israel you hate Israeli people? Yeah right. Perhaps the difference between you and I might just be that I do visit Israel, not as often as I used to but I do. I have friends there, good friends with views ranging from disgust at their government to quoting scripture regarding land grabs.

No I don't hate. Unlike you, I seem to have the ability to be objective. Perhaps, judging by the posts of some on here, if stems from a perspective of better understanding.

Mind you, even if I were as thick as some here, I would still have the advantage of agreement with most commentators.

Perhaps Keith would be happy if we ended each post with "and for balance here is a list of other countries whose foreign policy is suspect to say the least."
