text: I admire your tenacity, but you do realize that attempting to engage Roskell, Dante or Justice in a rational dialogue regarding Israel is like trying to teach a cat to fetch. There's seldom an article on Israel printed here where you won't find them among the first and  most frequent to vilify the country and defend the vile behaviour of the Palis, irrespective of the content of the article. One wonders what deep rooted hatred of Israel (read Jews, it's always the real issue) drives the incessant, unrelenting dissemination of twisted truths, outright lies, misrepresentation, and falsities they spew at every opportunity.  Stealing land is a favourite - a bit of history would prove that such assertions are completely  without merit, but it's so much easier for haters to employ slogans and regularly repeated lies and talking points in support of their anti-semitic agenda. The best is that disagreeing with the govt of Israel doesn't make you an anti-semite. Sure, that's it!
