I might have realised you were a Trot. The anglicisation of foreign names is pretty common practice; and as this name was written in a different alphabet anyhow there is no reason for it to be transliterated as ending in -f rather than -ph in any event -- so ignoramus right back 2U, matey. Though the -f spelling is actually pretty rare - NB eg "Joseph Stalin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". Is 'Josef' perhaps some sort of Trot affectation?

No need for any more reply; Allan has said it all -- many thanks, Allan. I would add nevertheless that reminding Jews of their supposed responsibilities, and extrapolating from that to tell them dogmatically what ought to be their opinions, constitutes a clear instance of antisemitism as defined by the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (now Fundamental Rights Agency), who in 2005 published a working definition of antisemitism.

So Antisemite Trot to boot, then...

& now shut up, please, you disagreeable fool, and do not trouble yourself to respond, as I shan't even bother to read any more posts from your charming self.
