""The logic of this statement eludes me ~~ no new phenomenon, mind, re Don's posts.""

No suggestion of the same rapprochment recently offered to Jim then.

If Keith decides that Finkelstein, who is Jewish and opposed to Israel's actions and intransigence, has merely ""made a few points"", but is cancelled out by others' opinions, surely it is not unreasonable to suggest that one of those others would need to be a Palestinian opposing Palestinian attitudes and/or actions.

If that is not the case, just how does Keith's offhand dismissal of an acknowledged expert have any credibility.

Now do you understand?
