VK3AUU and your bretheren Stan1, Rhys Stanely et al.

One can only assume that you and James Saleam do lunch.

Those who have read the following, would find that you et al tick all the boxes. However, I am sure you find my observation flattering.

"Anti-Semite and Jew: An Exploration of the Etiology of Hate" by Jean-Paul Sartre

Hi Danielle

My only contribution to this string has been to ask Mr Singer to comment on 'national boundaries' which he referred to in his article.

This somehow associates me with James Saleam who is apparently a far-right activist. Dear me, that's a big jump.

I haven't read the book you refer to Danielle. I am currently reading 'The Invention of the Jewish People' by Shlomo Sand, which if you have not read, I thoroughly recommend. It's about nationalism and racism and demonstrates convincingly that the stream of East European Jews taking over Palestinian land and homes have no basis of claim on the country.

Stan1,

Your convulsive contributions to any discussion about Israel are well known.

'The Invention of the Jewish People' by Shlomo Sand was on the best-seller list in Israel.

Shlomo Sand's book has a stated political agenda, it is not a pure history. His agenda is not to expel all Jews from Israel, nor to abolish the Jewish state. Sand’s goal is preserve Israel as a democracy with a Jewish character based on a Jewish majority.

The fact that such questions can be discussed about Israel, in Israel itself, demonstrates that whilst occasionaly flawed, like every democracy, it is a true democracy.

Danielle

I agree with all that - except not too sure about the convulsions!

Danielle

Perhaps you'd like fo comment on this statement

'Jews in fact lived in the West Bank prior to 1948 pursuant to such vested legal rights before being driven out and dispossessed by the invading Jordanian army.'

and it's accompanying imputation that it justifies land stealing by Israel and the resettlement of Jews in the occupied territories.

Surely you'll duck for cover or mouth off the usual Israeli propaganda ... as you do.

Fewer and fewer people can understand the Israeli heavy handed treatment of people whose land they illegally occupy and steal.

Everything else is just weasel words.

Settlements are built and serviced by Palestinians. Do your research ...

With terms like ‘weasel words’ and the pre-pubescent ‘doh’ ... and apparently no ability for even basic research ... what can one really say ...
