no one is using anything as an argument.

i wouldn't want anyone ill treated and if even a tory git like David Mellor is outraged on seeing the treatment of arabs by israeli security forces - i think we may take it that the arabs have serious cause for complaint.

however - compare and contrast the outpouring of bitching about israel compared to the foul treatment of arab citizens in arab nations.

and frankly Jim - it rings very false .
Once in my life I've walked down the street shouting HO! HO! HO CHI MINH! WE WILL FIGHT AND WE WILL WIN!

REmember!
i'm never going into that mode for a gang of murdering bastards like hamas or ho, and you shouldn't either, Jim.
Won't get fooled again! (as the folksong written by the Who goes)
