I have been called antisemetic, a fucking disgrace, an islamophobe, a fantasist and worse, and you don't think I have cause to complain. None of the people you mention are my colleagues, they just happen to disagree with Jim. As for Akenaton, he has not posted much to this thread, so I don't know why you mention him. Anonymous guests who disagree with Jim are not my allies either.
I know Jim requires no defending by you... and of course you agree with him on somethings, that is clear from your posts here Steve. I am simply stating, at the risk of being called a dweller in fantasyland, that the Israel I know bears no resemblance to the Israel Jim describes. Again, if you agree with his views, that is your conclusion based on what evidence he has supplied. I do not agree with him because he is irrational in his obsession, there is a name for that.
