"..... he can’t disagree with, he can ask for it to be closed rather than change his mind."
I have never asked for a thread to be closed and am not about to do so now
You and your friends on the other hand regularly revert to personal abuse when you find yourselves at a loss - that is tantamount to closings threads
As I requested about your accusations of lying - please do not accuse me of things I don't do - I don't lie and I don't deliberately close threads
How dare you constantly accuse me of things I have never done - including "Haring the Jews"
You are, of course free to prove examples of things I can't disagree with - but you won't - they don't exist either other than in your mind
Let's push on
"I have not seen any threats from Israel to annihilate another sovereign state, have you? "
Yes - we all have
We have seen Israel actually annihilating human beings of one culture to make room for another
In this case actions have spoken far louder than words
The ethnic cleansing over half the population are calling for has articulated that aim perfectly
Military incursions into Gaza have left behind them a wasteland of many thousands dead and the survivors without homes, schools or hospitals - what are they if they are not attempts (not meaningless threats) to annihilate a sovereign State?
There have been regular calls to cut off water and electricity supplies to Gaza - what are they if they are not threats to annihilate a sovereign state?
There is still in place a ten year old blockade of the essentials of living - farm equipment, fertilizers, building materials, some medical supplies.... actions (not threats) to bring about the annihilation so a sovereign state
A wall dividing farmers from their means of living (of the type the world ranted and raved about when it was erected to divide the two Germany's.... not a sovereign state but a people of the 'wrong culture'
The constant demands that the Arabs should be driven into the desert or into countries "of their own kind" - threats to remove an entire unwanted culture, not just a state
And above all - the demands for ethnic cleansing from over half the Israeli people remains the greatest threat to an entire culture in one state - other countries have actually carried it out but it hasn't been stated policy since the Nazis annihilated six million Jews and as many other "unwantables" from the German population
All these things are not just "threats" but many are actually in the process of happening
