""kieth a hertford, views may or may not be the same as mine, personally I think that the middle east is a very complicated problem, that is full of different shades of grey, but he has a right to argue his case without being bullied, harassed or abused.""
I am as aware as the next man of the complicated nature of the Middle East situation. I am also aware of the infinite number of shades of grey between black and white.
Keith A is not! For him:-
Where Israel is concerned, there is only Black and White, Good and Evil.
Israel = White; Good!
Palestine Black; Evil!
Where Israel is concerned, there are no complications! Israel = Right!
Just trot through his posts on the subject and really look at what he says.
"He can substantiate all his claims!" Why, do you suppose, does he never do so?
Look at his response to evidence presented, from whatever source. Does he examine, assess, check, before deciding whether to accept or reject?
Does he buggery! All sources, including Israeli ones, are immediately dismissed out of hand as "anti Israel", "antisemitic", or just plain "liars".
All eye witnesses are liars, all publications are anti Israel, and the UN is antisemitic.
He is incensed by the fact that the Islamic members of the UN (whom he refers to as ""nasty little Islamic republics"") are able to push through resolutions to redress Israeli transgressions, but not willing to admit there were transgressions to redress.
This one eyed, blinkered, hard line pro Israeli bigot is the man you describe as ""REMARKABLY RESTRAINED"".
How long must anyone be expected to remain polite to him?
