Fahel,

I think you have clarified part of the Middle East problems.

You can see why some are attempting to close the thread.

My response to your "quip" was at the level you define.

Unlike yourself Fred who from the moment you started posting on here resorted to personal abuse whenever somebody disagreed with you. Have a look in the mirror.

Isaacs,

Check back to the beginning and review the "tone" of remarks referring to me.


PS. Do read them all!

If there's any from me suggesting you're a twat, Fred, then I stand by them.

Too busy Fred. Where have I heard that before?

Gausie, will you put the answers to your questions.

Methinks this thread will get the chop afore long.

Indeed, DelBoy. The resident board loonie isn't exactly the best of adverts for am.

Isaacs,

Well, if you ever do find time to look at this at this, or other threads, you will find that I have in general responded courteously to those who have be courteous to me, while agreeing or disagreeing with their arguments or propositions which they advanced.

Sometimes, the arguments presented by others advance my knowledge, sometimes modifying my opinion or position.

Again, while I have no objection to banter in general, there are limits, and when it is personally abusive and does not relate to the subject under consideration, I think retaliation in the same vein is justifiable.

However, generally, I see little point in attempting to debate with those who preferred method of discussion is one of abuse and personal denigration.

I respect the right of another individual to advance, hold, or believe different opinions to myself, or any of any other person.

I may think that they hold false positions, but consider they have a right to hold them, and also a right to question my opinions or arguments.

But, I am entitled to hold a contrary opinions and the right to persist in holding them.

On this thread and others, there often appears to be a concerted effort by a small group of individuals to suffocate any who dissent with the views held by them.

I accept that my humour may not to the liking of some, but within humour there is usually an element of pain.

Fred Please, I'M Filling Up Here!

Perhaps Mossad will intervene.

.CC. I tend to think you are already full up.

Isaacs,

Are Mossad friends of yours?

>>fail

It's not a quiz. Answers are self evident.

Joe Biden delivers 'hardest truth' in Israel

The Israeli press has been extremely critical of the Netanyahu government for causing consternation to the American vice president by announcing, less than 24 hours after his arrival, a plan to approve construction of 1,600 new Jewish homes in contested East Jerusalem. But observers say its too soon to tell if the episode will result in Netanyahus being any more willing to reduce provocative actions in East Jerusalem that are widely condemned by the U.S. and the rest of the world but that are supported by much of the Israeli public and Netanyahus political constituency.

In what was designed as the public capstone of his visit, a speech at Tel Aviv University Thursday, Biden reiterated his criticism of the governments action, which, he said, undermined the trust required for productive negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
