I find this an entirely unnacceptable, and wholly racist thing to say.

The neighbouring states may be hostile, and there is the whole "Palestine
Issue", but you've just called an entire race of people barbarians.

I am, quite frankly, appalled.

I am sick and tired of seeing anyone who voices any opinion against the state
of Israel being called anti-semetic.  I didn't mention religion, in fact I
went out of my way to say that I regard state and religion as seperate.

The posts will go where I want them to go, quite aside from the fact that
I will not tolerate something verging on libel in a post that is itself
racist to the gunnels.

I realise that I'm probably about to get piled upon by the list
but I quite frankly don't care.

You are hypocritical.  It makes me feel sick.

I should hope not.  I feel appalled to see this kind of thing on any list I
reside upon.
