...Do you not understand the geo-political realities?

It's almost a waste of time speaking to you, although alas, even if one person sees the light, it's worth it.

See how selfless those who think like me are?

If you don't think Saudi mosque money is imperialism, perhaps you ought to talk to non-Arab Muslims. The influence of Arabs - they are told to bow there 5 times a day you know, take an Arab name, recite the koran in Arabic.

In your ignorance you can't see ISLAM = Arab Imperialism.

Wouldn't you be the first to laugh if Christians were told to bow to the Vatican? You'd call it slavery.

Israel an apartheid state? Why do Palestinians want to get in to Israeli hospitals then? Why do Arabs have better living standards in Israel than in the racist hole that is the Arab world?

How come Arabs have tripled their population in Israel?

Apartheid is Iran, Saudi Arabia, and other Muslim nations that have restrictions on non-muslims and women.

It's those like you, ignoring this truth (you know it is deep down, that's why you can't argue against it!) who are keeping them all down.

One or two pop their heads up to look at the superior west, and they say 'I want my country to have freedom too' yet scum like you say 'no, your culture is just as good, if not better than mine'.

YOU are the racist, and what is so disgusting about it all is that you can't even see it your so ignorant.

To not see what they do because they aren't white, is appalling. It's the same reason the Aboriginal situation got so bad while you leftists were in charge, because you see non-whites as animals.

They are human, you bigot.

I am a liberal. I've never been leftist in my life. Obviously you're one of those rightwing rednecks and anyone who expresses an opinion to the left of your bigotry and racism is a leftist...eh?

Scum? Lovely, says a lot about your level of intellect and more importantly about your inability to assess people and their right to express an opinion different to yours. Obviously racists are blind to their racism. Your expectation of other cultures to express themselves in exactly the way you think they should is typical racist stupidity and is beyond reason.
I don't support or excuse the excesses and injustices of other peoples, their cultures, their beliefs or their systems of governments however I detest even more countries who make a pretense at being similar to western liberal democracies but who engage in activities fundamentally opposite to the basic tenets of our whole way of life.

If that makes me racist in your book well then your book must be a simple comic book.

As you know I will not accuse you of racism as I know you are not.

But you are aware that there was a large scale purchase of land from its owners in Palestine by Jews. There was also a large exchange of people, Muslims from Palestine, Jews from Morocco, Egypt, Iraq etc etc etc. There also was a serious attack on Israel from Arab lands leading to an occupation of the lands used as a base of attack. The leaders of these lands still swear to the annihilation of Israel.

Regarding the academics this will fail because Israeli academics contribute so much to the world. Also the proposed British boycott has been opposed by huge numbers of academics including over 24 Nobel Prize winners! And they cannot be all Jewish.

Universities who try to implement such a boycott would be destroying their standing in the world. Do you think Vice Chancellors would agree to such a boycott as proposed by second raters? And how many people would die if the Israeli contribution to medicine was not shared?
