Norm’s already had a go at this miserable shower, but I can’t resist putting in the boot too. Just three points: first, the letter reeks of self love, second, never trust anyone who touts their race, religion or pigmnentation as a warrant for the validity of their arguments and third, of course the foundation of Israel was accompanied by terrorism and ethnic cleansing. So was the foundatation of Ireland, India and Turkey, to take just three examples of many possible. In all three cases, the foundation of state was not the end of the subjugation of minorities, in the case of India and Turkey the subjugation has been and continues to be carried out by the use of organised violence on a very large scale and involving the killing of large numbers of civilians.
Somehow or other, the horrors accompanying the foundation of Israel and some of the conduct of its governments since seem to touch the heart of the new, environmentally sound, fairtrade antisemitites, in a way that similar or worse events in other countries never do.
