This is a discussion about what is happening in Israel/Palestine Mike - I responded to Keith's attempts to defend Israel's behaviour.
I have always condemned all religious - or any other form of terrorism, though I am often accuse of defending Islamist behaviour - I don't.
At the moment the Middle Est has a slim chance of resolving some of the problems - Israel continues to put that at risk - that is the matter under discussion.
I am equally at Egypt's mass condemning to death the opposition of the rebel opposition there (can't remember the exact number), but this in no way impinges on the discussion in hand, despite Keith's permanent efforts to use it as a defence of Israeli terrorism.
As far as the rest of the world - Israel has nuclear capability, which fills me with horror, as does the fact that Iran has as well - but on the other hand, so has the U.S. - god help us all!
