Thread Name: Palestine (continuation)
Subject: RE: Palestine (continuation)
No ~ I have never endorsed that statement of Keith's but always said I regarded it as a step too far, not justified by the specific cases we were thinking of in N England (which, tho, have reared heads again: have you been watching The Times last couple of days. Depressing.)

I don't think you have been listening thruout with full attention, Jim. &, once again, I don't see where there is a Jewish gander with regard to this particular discussion. As you have taken opportunity to point out to Keith, I think the Israelis are not behaving in a fashion I can find in any way tolerable; but that has nothing to do with grooming young women in Leeds & Bradford & Derby, which for some reason you have intro'd into this argument & made the point at issue when it is an irrelevance to the topic of this thread. Why did you do that? ~ apart from the odd satisfaction you seem to take in making unsubstantiated accusations of racism against me; perhaps as a way to divert the criticisms I make of the provocative & unacceptably hyperbolical and tasteless terms you will drag into the discourse.

When you let different discourses overlap as part of an argument, it always leads to confusion and animosity, Jim. Why do it? I repeat that Pakistani minority youth activities in N English cities have nothing to do with the case.
