Dear Jane,
God bless.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply & feedback Stephen. I will screen the
posts more carefully before sending them on.
I am aware that many on this list work very hard and care very deeply about
what they do often with little material reward from the culture, but much in
the way of personal and s
Jane,
There is more to your Globalnews posts than you seem to realise. I have no
problem with being aware of what is happening around the world - it is the
double standards which get me boiling. The posts which I found highly
offensive were of the British politician who slammed Israel in Parlia

I support Stephen on this. Enough is enough. We all have access through many
other channels to differing views on the political issues and I would also
prefer that it went else where.

I'd like to add my voice to this request at keeping this group orientated
towards agriculture in general and BD in particular. I have found recent
politically orientated posts highly offensive, have written replies, but
have then had second thoughts as I would not wish to offend others. Those

While I consider the happenings in Israel/ Palestine are of great importance to
all and of course particularly to those with a connection on what ever level to
that part of the world, but I think it is a long way off list.
Why not start a list for that discussion and leave this one to cover the i
I doubt that Allen will support this discussion for much longer, as it's so
off-message; but I think it's pushing things too far to regard 'Muslim
states' as being united by religion rather than ethnicity. These states may
be overwhelmingly Muslim, observing Sharia law, but they are still occupi
You are incorrect. There are "Muslim states", most

hardly a criteria for "origin/race" as there are
approximately 6000 ethnicities currently categorised.

Michael,
Thank you for your perspective, far more eloquently expressed than mine.
I boil over these "human rights" issues, which I believe are often taken too
far. We have many Black people in South Africa who want the Whites to
leave, as South Africa belongs to them. Historical truth is that
Lies, damn lies and statistics. A poll of 1,003 adults represents the

The other side of the coin - when is somebody going to demand that
Palestinian attacks on Israeli citizens stop?
Another question - there was a TV piece on the Queen of Jordan leading a

pretty convenient to be able to say, "God gave me this land" ! The first
thing that Joshua did when entering that land was to smash Jericho (early

Both sides are "terrorists" It is just now it has esculated to outright
war. Israel was right to crush the Arab terrorist organization for its very
right to survive. Remember, Iran 's cargo of military hardware that was
destined for Arafat et al.
The original question should be asked. Was it

It's encouraging to learn that some 'ordinary' US Americans are at least
criticising Sharon's Israel, if not offering much support to the
Palestinians. The Brits (and probably a majority in much of Europe
generally) are much more supportive of the Palestinians: we deplore the
