You have been given evidence of Israeli atrocities again and again; the shooting of civilians, the use of chemical weapons, the use of captured civilians as human shields, the massacre of up to three and a half thousand refugees, the bombardment of schools and hospitals with the pupils and patients in them, the destruction of homes, the constant humiliation experienced daily by Palestinians - all well reported and documented for those prepared to look for it.
You continually and arrogantly tell us that we need to open our minds, yet it is you who has been told again and again to listen to what people have to say and to stop distorting and misrepresenting what you are told.
You have one of the most closed minds I have ever come across, not only locked solid, but you appear to have thrown the key away.

"Jim, I can't help when reading your inane posts, that if I was hearing you speak your lines, they would be, clean crisp, soft, with a lisp, and very effeminate"
And I might say that when I read your posts I can picture the black uniform, the jodhpurs, complete with the peaked cap and the skull and crossbones badge - but I really don't go into those sewers, can't stand the smell.
Why is it you people feel the need to resort to personal invective - I usually put it down to lack of imagination, it certainly doesn't make your case very well - but it takes all kinds.
Personally, I'd rather remain an idealist, if that's what I am, than a vitriol spewing loud mouthed lout - you and Keith represent your cause well and between you make a well-matched pair.
