That doesn't project the image of the diabolical Jew? In my naivete, I would have thought otherwise. Why I said it was twisted is that the fence is, of course, a fortification, and it exists for reasons not unlike those for which fences are generally erected. He must surely know about suicide bombings, thousands of mortar bombs and rockets on civilians, etc., but he can't connect them with the idea that a fortification of some sort might be in order, so the fence must be part of a nefarious plan of the "kikes" to steal property? Why would anybody want to listen to this man? Do you think he would stand in front of an Israeli audience and not lecture it on the criminal way Israel treats peaceful terrorists? And everybody in the audience would try to be civilized, not to argue with him, to be unpleasant, and he, I guarantee you, would have an answer to everything, precisely because he knows nothing about what he is saying. You would all go home afterward with heartburn. Where is this man from? I understand him to be a Brit, is that right? So he reads UK periodicals, listens to BBC, is therefore inebriated with UK anti-Semitism, and isn't bright enough (sic) to connect the anti- Semitism that has always been endemic in the UK with what he reads about the conflict It's more than simply that he says things that you or I don't like. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
