"...To wit, people wearing uniforms and carrying guns, but have little to none discipline, particularly fire discipline, and who rarely have a problem with harming civilians." . They sound like rent-a-cops. My wife and I live in Southern California. We were driving around Northridge one day, when Miki spotted one of those security company signs on someones front lawn, that read; "Armed Response". So she asks; "what does "Armed Response" mean?" I replied; Armed Response? That means men who are NOT police, will come to your house with guns." :-) @Yossi,

In Lebanon. Still waiting for a report on the killings in the occupied Golan on Nakba AND Naksa Day.

Arno Mayer is great: he brought physics law into history studies :) He also loves to provoke, and following any theory of history as The Truth is risible. .

And that would be by definition a country that can't be racist. All great achievements have been made by interaction with the other. I am not a jew, I have never been to Israel, or to Gaza. I just see suffering that is not necessary on the Palestinian side. Take the trip and see who they are, as Miko Peled did. It's scary at first, but then you see that they are human beings just as you are, with the same desire for love and security. And with no urge to kill anyone.

Ashkenaz are not even Semites and the Palestinians are. Zionists definitely live in an alternate universe where right is wrong and vice versa.
