"why do you, McGrath and Carroll insist that they were not."
Can't speak for Mac, I insisted no such thing - I in fact pointed out that she apologised for it and admitted it was antisemitic for her so suggest it.
I certainly query whether it was, as it was not aimed at the Jewish People, but if it is, it in no worse than Israeli ministers demanding beheadings or a war against all Palestinians.
She has apologised, theirs remain as stated.
Please do not accuse me of holding opinions that I don't.
One thing about all this of course is that Shah did not invent this proposal, nor did she demand that it should be anything but voluntary - there has never been a suggestion that the Israelis should be expelled from the area.
The idea was first mooted by Jewish professor, NORMAN FINKLESTEIN a Holocaust survivor descendant and it was his map that has been reproduced in the press (without having been identified, of course).
It follows on from an early suggestion that Israel be made a STATE of the U.S. which would "enable them to relocate anywhere in America if they wished"
