I haven't called anyone a name in this set of exchanges I don't think, Jim, apart from angrily calling Joe a name ten times milder than Jew hater. Joe, I have not expressed any opinion about antisemitism in Spain. Glad to put you right on that, so leave out the invective on that score, eh? As for reading, I also learned to read in Catholic schools and found that aspect at least of my education perfectly satisfactory. If you want to recivilise this place this morning and calm the waters, I suggest that you drop the little sideswipes.

You could use those reading skills of yours to hone your knowledge of the Middle East. You have some puzzling opinions on the situation in Israel that suggest gaps in your understanding.
