Nils, you should really be informed before you spout off.

You are joking aren't you? Putting aside the consistent unreliability of the source, you're going to have to much better than that to demonsrate an upsurge in anti-semitism. All you've shown is that Spain's PM sympathises with the plight of the Palestinians. Big deal. There are lots of jews who share the same views. Are they rabid anti-semites as well?

Pure conjecture and a large helping of hysteria. If you're critical of Israel or Zionism you're an anti-semite? Now where have i heard that one before? Oh yes, if you criticise the US government you're anti-american. Is it a coincidence that idiots who use one of these arguments are apt to use the other? I think not.

Spain pulled out of Iraq due to a manifesto commitment made by thge PSOE before the Madrid bombing. Moreover, since we know that invading Iraq had nothing to do with Al Qaeda; how can a withdrawal be interpreted as caving to Al Qaeda? And even assuming for one second that you're right about Spain, what do you call the subsequent withdrawal of US forces from Saudia Arabia, the nerve centre of Radical Islam, if not a huge act of appeasement in its own right?

C'mon Excel, you should know by now that:

- not kissing the arse of the USA for everything they do (from trying to find imaginary WMDs under Iraq's oil fields to having the best CO-producing industry)= anti-american
- suggesting that Israel won't bring peace in the ME by bombing civilans of neighbour countries= antisemite
- requesting trials for terrorists instead of hammering at a keyboard while foaming at the mouth that they should all be skinned with a rusted butter-knife= terrorist lover

You are probably right. But doormats get pissed on by the neighbourhood poodles. Somehow I can't see the US ever being in that position regardless of who runs the show- republican, democrat, neocon, conservative, liberal or whatever.

Yeah, but I'm guessing our interpretation of parts of it it might be a bit different.

deSelys,

I believe this board is not a true reflection on the real world. It can't be. If it was then we are all screwed, and that’s taking into account that the real bad guys in the world don't even post here.

Appreciate that there is an open forum of discussion rather than not.
If you have a good idea, all you need is to sufficiently articulate it.

until Islam reigns from Spain to Iraq .......

The first and most convenient argument for thosed without a counterpoint:  The source is unreliable (whine whine whine)..., blah blah blah.

you're going to have to much better than that to demonsrate an upsurge in anti-semitism.

Says who?  you? What makes you think I consider you to be an authority on anything?  I don't give a rat's arse that you don't like the article and what it could portend.  Beyond what I've quoted, I didn't read the rest of your post since your posts are usually full of non-sensical Euro blather.

Agreed, free speech to the point of moderator melt down. And I was kidding... well, sort off
