Is this really true? Seems a very severe charge.

>But I shall so that it doesn't come up again. No, I don't regard Israelis
as "them." Israelis are people too.

Oh well that is something. People no less. Just when I had them down as

mean that I have to overlook the illegitimate

Justified.

Suppressive, terror suppressive.

There is and never has been a genocide in Israel. As Pascal Bruckner points
