"Necessary to point out to Jim, yet again, that to use the word "Nazi" in connection with anything Israeli-connected,"
And it is necessary to point out to Mike that ring-fencing discussing levels of behaviour which are comparable to techniques, used by the Nazis against the Jews, in style, if not in scope, as "not being able to go there" is evading the issue. I have never, nor would I suggest that Israeli behaviour is anything like comparable in scope to the Holocaust (capital H), but I fail to see how facilitating the systematic and cold blooded slaughter of 3,000 refugees is not comparable with Nazi behaviour.
Describing revulsion of such behaviour as "antisemitic" is as antisemitic as it gets.
Accusing your opponents of Antisemitism when they suggest that Israel's behaviour towards Gazan non-combatants, Bedouins, refugees - anybody who stands in the way of their expansionist policy really.... is to directly identify the Jewish people with massacres, chemical warfare, indiscriminate slaughter, forcible seizure of land, destruction of homes.... you name it, the Israelis are doing it.
The criticisms here are directed at the Israelis - I suggest you go and look up the word Antisemitism in your dictionary if you believe otherwise – mine gives "Hostility or prejudice towards Jews".
The Israelis are not The Jewish People, nor do they represent them by their behaviour - THE ONLY ANTISEMITES HERE ARE THOSE WHO SUGGEST THAT CRITICISM OF THAT BEHAVIOUR IS "ANTISEMITIC", THEREBY IDENTIFYING WAR CRIMES AND HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES AS JEWISH   
"Carroll and Keith show"
Keith consistently takes over these threads, feels it necessary to answer everybody's points, polices the discussions by ordering people how and what to discuss, manipulates them by attempting to swerve the discussion in the direction he wishes it to take, numerically dominates them with his postings and invariably insists on having the last word - go and check if you doubt any of this.
To allow him to do this is to concede this forum to somebody who, in my opinion, wishes to use it as a platform for peddling bigotry and race/cultural hatred.
He often has a fairy godmother/father to assist him in his endeavours, on this occasion she/he appears to be otherwise occupied.
"Egypt's ruling Muslim Brotherhood hate Israel (Jews?) and blame them for all evil."
Would this be the same Muslim brotherhood whose actions you were using to prove that Hamas was responsible for the killing of Egyptian policemen?
