Of the three long posts, the one by Barbara is the only one that I think asserts real facts. In fact, she is taking three times as much space to make pretty much the same assertions I made in part 113 (of blessed memory)

The piece by Bleier, if it is legitimate, is firstly a long polemic introduced by someone else, so it is kind of unfair. I think if guest kiki has a point to make he/she should use their own words and provide a link. Of the piece itself it sounds like Bleier (again, assuming this is a real zionist who 'saw the light') is a person incapable of accepting the broad spectrum of human behavior. His apprach seems to be that the zionist cause is inscribed in holiness or it is nothing but lies. I think the article says more about the author's character than the actual events, which are misrepresented and taken out of context.

As for the third long post, a rendition of how reasonable Arafat has been over the years, it is also an imported polemic, basically an unfavorable review of someone else's work. It's a book review of a book I haven't read. I'd rather the guest had made his or her own points.

In general, people, speak for yourselves, treat the rest of the list with respect, make a link to your references, then stand clear!

I love you all, just not equally
