"- I find hypocritical the fact that it is the only actual criticism of Israeli behaviour you have been prepared to make, to my recollection."

Ah; maybe I begin to see daylight. As suggested in my last post, and as I thought I should have made clear, I cited is as a particularly telling symbolic instance of exploitation and victimisation on Israel's part. I never suggested it was the only, or the worst, example that could be found; simply that its very pettiness was a sort of microcosm of a much greater & more culpable and reprehensible tendency to exploit & victimise. I still regard those groves, their owners' only means of maintenance, as symbolically important in the whole lamentable and discreditable debacle. OTOH, to hear you tell it, those bloody olive groves didn't even matter. I don't think their deprived & starved out owners & cultivators would have agreed with you.

Geddit now?
