This is typical of all your false statements, misreadings, and
hallucinations. I have taken nothing out of context, distorted
nothing, and made careful discriminations throughout as any
careful reader of my messages, regardless of his or her politics,
will readily recognize.

The clips about Netanyahu I posted were quite explicit about the
scope of deportation he had in mind--many hundreds. The
Palestinians he wants to deport are not "terrorists" or
"criminals" but, in your very word, "AGITATORS." Netanyahu's
scheme to accomplish this dirty work under the cover of China's
crimes was particularly sleazy, as were his subsequent lies about
what he really said.

It is remarkable that the American media haven't grilled
Netanyahu on the subject of his views about deportation with the
same intensity they interrogate other racists around the world.
On the contrary, folks like Larry King and Ted Koppel treat him
with fawning respect. The ridiculous double standards will not be
lost on those who follow world politics, with the exception of
those who share Netanyahu's views about how to handle
"agitators."

And let me anticipate you: if Netanyahu is not a racist, then
kindly explain why he doesn't advocate deporting Jewish
"agitators" from Israel. There are certainly plenty of those.

Let's not kid ourselves. If people like Netanyahu started
deporting hundreds of Palestinians, it wouldn't stop there. It
would set in motion a conflict much bloodier than we have already
seen which wouldn't end until all Palestinians were deported from
their homeland. I suspect that is precisely the effect which
militant Jewish nationalists like Netanyahu have in mind. The
Zionist movement from an early stage, as the writings of David
Ben-Gurion clearly reveal, dreamed of creating an ethnically
Jewish state free of the irksome Arabs who already resided on the
land which Zionists coveted.

I see you have no reply to Robert Friedman's well-grounded charge
that Jonathan Pollard is a supporter of the most repulsive forms
of Jewish terrorism. Friedman is not a liar. Anyone who denies
that Pollard made these statements cheering on the bombings of
innocent Arab civilians is either ignorant of the facts or a
liar. Which category applies in your case I wouldn't presume to
judge.

You should take the trouble to read some of the useful guidelines
that are available concerning netiquette on computer networks
like the Internet. In your habitual reliance on personal abuse
you are violating one of the most sacred rules about how to
conduct oneself in this medium. On many nets you would have been
history long ago. One finds that this style of verbal violence is
all too common among many militant pro-Israelists in the U.S. and
around the world--and especially in the Knesset. Among groups
with decidedly different cultural styles, that kind of verbal
violence is going to backfire bigtime. Basically Americans don't
have to listen to this garbage from foreign fanatics,
particularly fanatics who are so dependent on our generosity and
good will. At some point if the verbal assaults continue, the
fanatics will be informed that they are on their own and told to
take a hike. Don't bother us. We certainly don't need you, and in
fact can get along quite well without you. Take your rage and
hysteria elsewhere; it doesn't concern us. You are rudely
imposing on us. Get the picture?

I wonder how long the pro-Israel community would put up with the
rantings of Irish or Serbian nationalists. Not long, and I doubt
it would contribute a cent to their causes.
