Incongruity time:
The Jewish members of this web site never fail to mention the second world war and the dreadful actions taken against Jewish people at that time.
These same people forget to mention the Jewish terrorist groups that killed British and French troops during the birth of Israel. Terrorism was heroic at this time.
They also ignore history whenever they use massive force to destroy a palestinian village in response to the death of one or two Israelis. History shows that this will merely breed resentment and anger, just as it did to the members of Likud when they were the terrorists.
The deliberate provocation of the settlement programmes is stupidly arrogant.
If Jewish people feel the world is turning against them they should ask themselves why. My view has certainly changed in the course of the last ten years.
On television a leading editor of a British newspaper called a member of the audience of question time Stupid and ignorant simply because he had an opinion opposite to hers. Her attack on him was uneccessarily strident and probably did more to harm the Jewish cause by demonstrating an elitist attitude.
I am fed up with situation in the Middle East destabilising the world and would welcome a return to the days of real statesmen like Anwar Saddat and the ex terrorist Begin who realised that only by co-operating and tolerating different views would the situation improve.
Don't live in your history, move forward and stop seeing anti-semetics at every dissenting voice.
The Alitalia pilot was unwise in his comments but didn't deserve the over reaction he received.
