well its not the young methodists, Jim.

I feel we're getting hung up about this term 'anti Semitic'.

Basically Ken's attitude, and a lot more like him was making life difficult for JC.

Like I say, tories don't have this problem. When David Mellor saw some Israeli soldiers behaving with brutality and raised a voice of objection - the howls of execration and accusations of him being a know nothing liar came from every section of his party.

It seems very off that anyone would take the middle section of Jack's original comment

There can never be anything legitimate about founding a state on expropriated territory. Of course the state of Israel has no right to exist. Neither does its main promoter, the USA.

Completely out of context.

It says a lot about the integrity of anyone doing it and this type of ploy is so transparent it is laughable. We could of course all do the same. EG.

Of course the state of Israel has no right to exist.

But most people are more honest.

"Of course the state of Israel has no right to exist."

I don't agree with this. Whatever you think......

founding a state on expropriated territory.

Another lie and classic anti-Semitic trope.

Do you feel violated, Steve? :-)

You are right of course. Sensible discussion has become impossible so some people are best just avoided at all costs. I'm out of here. Hopefully this will be consigned to the ranks of ex-threads before long.

So are you saying that Jack really believes that Israel does has a right to exist?

Maybe Jack can clear that up for us.

No, he won't. And threads are going to keep closing as long as you keep turning them into a running battle flogging each other about the atrocities against Palestine under the guise of Israel's right to exist.
