"If only you looked upon Jewish history as forthrightly as you looked upon Irish history."
Please don't start this again -
My grandmother was arrested for hitting Mosely with a Stone at a Liverpool Rally
My Father went to Spain when the family's Jewish neigbours described what was happening in Germany
His youngest Brother was one of the soldiers who opened up one of the Death Camps in Germany - as a regular soldier, later he was one of those who sailed out of Palestine to the sound of hand grenades being thrown into occupied homes to make room for the new Jewish State   
My family supported the Jewish State from the early days and I continue to do so in principle
I broke up with a girlfriend, I rowed with her holocaust survivor mother who referred to the State of Israel as "a bunch of fascists"
Please don't lecture me about Israeli history - I suggest you read Einstein's and his fellow intellectual's 1949 letter to the N.Y. Times if you want my opinion on what's happened to Israel and the antisemitic ethnic and crooked regime that is running it in the name of the Jewish People (antisemitic by definition)
You want to discuss Israel with me, open a thread, you want to accuse me of antisemitism - take up my offer, find me a single instance where I have ever denigrated the Jewish People and I will make a generous donation to any named charity - that offer is now about four years old and nobody has ever attempted to
