You are mixing tone and content. In any event, I was happy to have my tone
called "polemic":

That is because I am talking about now. You are talking about the past. The
UK's colonial past does not make it ok for Israelto torture now... at least
in my opinion. As I have said before many times, the UK has a suspect past
as a colonial power... but I think it better than some.
...and, for the record, I am no friend of the PLO either. But I certainly
blame them no more than I do Israel. The problem with the PLO is that they
have too little lobbying power ;-)
