First of all Steve, I have no "mates" here. And I am not biased, I have no problem with legitimate criticism of Israel.    Why would anyone attempt to "pick apart" his kind of nonsense Jim hurls up here. . If you cannot see what is obvious in his stance, that is not my concern. your observation about those arguments supported only by zionists viewpoints don,t seem to extend to anti Israel viewpoints . Work as hard as Jim, Jim only works, if you wish to go fishing for support of one sided views. I am critical of Jim , not because of his viewpoint, but because he has no viewpoint. He has only one objective, to vilify Israel. How does one reason with that.
As for others who disagree with him, and there are many, that is their business. but it does not equate to them being my mates. so let us be clear about that. are all those who agree with Jim your mates. You need to get off that "you lot" hobby horse Steve!
