Yes, sound reasoning Little Hawk. And thank you, bobad, for reminding us which party is the bully and which the victim.

MtheM, what's wrong with it being pointed out if you, or anyone else, plays the Holocaust card? Is there some confusion about what the accusation means? For me it means gratuitous exploitation of the Holocaust to secure advantage in legitimate debate. That's what I thought you were doing. It is certainly what Keith was doing earlier in the thread.

Somewhere above I posted a link to Norman Finkelstein's take on this. Using the suffering of the Holocaust's victims to justify Israel's present-day atrocities was, he said, despicable.
