"How many thousands of posts do you think there has been on this subject, Keith?"

This and Israel. He's at it again now on the latest terrorism thread. That one was almost immediately taken over by a bunch of Islamophobe hatefest trolls, including an anonymous Guest, HiLo and MGM (one feature of trolls is that they try to inflame people into inappropriate responses, all three bang to rights there - go and have a look) in spite of its attempting to shine a slightly different light on what is happening in Israel. But it's now just the same tired old. Can't speak with certainty for Greg, whose thread it was, but we both decided days ago that the game was not worth the candle. Any further interventions by me on this one will be confined to what I know about the shameful events at Gallipoli in which my great uncle, and another of my ancestors, was blown to pieces (they didn't know each other). No bodies, no graves, brave lads led to their doom by ineptitude so egregious that's it's scarcely believable when you look into it. One of the tacticians behind that rotten endeavour is now lauded as the greatest war leader of all time. Sure. It may not make comfortable reading for the "well-led" brigade, if and when I can muster the energy to get round to it. And try not to insult me in advance if you can possibly manage it, Teribus.
