"particularly telling symbolic instance of exploitation and victimisation"
I fully accept that Mike and agree with your sentiments absolutely, but at the same time you have continually castigated me, even to the length of describing me as "Antisemitic", for going beyond symbolism and criticising the realities of the situation
Symbols are fine, but sometimes a little superfluous when you are faced with the real thing.
I'm happy that you stick with your symbolism as long as you leave me to state my opinions as I see fit.
"Of course "Palestine" was mentioned "
Wasn't "mentioned" - it was fairly common
You seldom make anything "clear" when to shroud everything in belligerent bullying and hectoring
"Arafat invented it in the early 1970s in order to make money "
No he did not" - he used it ahs a rallying descriotion for a people under attack
Jeez - you really are happy to use Zionist propaganda do denigrate the vicitms of Israeli terrorism.
EVEN-HANDED SUMMING UP HERE
I do wish you'd take your squalidity elsewhere
