     I did not really intend this to be a Palestinian V Israeli debate, that always ends in looking levels of wrongness.

      I won't reply to all this because Me-2'ing Larry is just not something I like to do ;-)... and I really agree with pretty much everything he says. Just wanted to add some small things.
