Well, it HAS been a year; had I not promised, I would not have responded at all after that long Joel Send a noteboard - 14/06/2015 03:02:58 AM

Heaven knows I was tempted to respond to others I left hanging (but then, most of those comments were moondogs, and he has probably had enough protracted political responses from me lately.) Unfortunately, real life delaying my response through a years percolation turned it into... THAT....

The irony is that before digging for the Guardian article I meant to post last year I was wholly unaware of Europes recent surge in anti-Semitic violence. On the plus side, my daughter can walk now (I just wish she were better at staying on her feet and sleeping past 4AM.)

If by awesome you mean execrable, then yes, you're right. Legolas - 18/07/2014 11:45:53 PM 819 Views
Sounds like someone doesn't like jews! Anonymous2000 - 19/07/2014 04:24:41 AM 765 Views
It's funny you should say that. Legolas - 19/07/2014 09:36:57 AM 841 Views
your criticism would be better applied to Palestine supporters random thoughts - 19/07/2014 11:50:37 AM 720 Views
+1 - Besides muslim countries, Europe in general is the last bastion of anti-semitism Anonymous2000 - 19/07/2014 01:12:36 PM 897 Views
Except for the US. And Russia. So pretty much every place that HAS a Jewish population. Joel - 23/07/2014 02:35:18 AM 751 Views
My criticism IS also applied to Palestine supporters. It's not an either/or deal. Legolas - 19/07/2014 09:03:51 PM 789 Views
Agreed on that much, certainly. Joel - 23/07/2014 03:05:22 AM 897 Views
Well, look who's back in the game! Legolas - 23/07/2014 07:44:45 PM 1035 Views

The only good thing about ancient interminable wars is that--more-- Joel - 13/06/2015 11:40:48 PM 697 Views
Only one necro post. What have you done with the real Joel? random thoughts - 14/06/2015 02:36:57 AM 751 Views

"'Dialing for Dollars' is looking for me" Joel - 24/06/2015 04:48:51 AM 837 Views
At the risk of prompting another long ramble, I've no idea what that reference is to. Legolas - 24/06/2015 10:39:42 PM 700 Views
"Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?!" Joel - 26/06/2015 12:41:48 PM 699 Views
I'm going to try to shorten and summarize this a bit... Legolas - 28/06/2015 11:21:28 PM 1040 Views
It sounds like our only practical point of disagreement is Gazas status Joel - 29/06/2015 12:31:11 AM 740 Views
Pretty much, though I have a few factual quibbles with this post again. So much for shortening. Legolas - 29/06/2015 08:46:35 PM 764 Views
Shortening is for bakers Joel - 30/06/2015 10:59:59 AM 854 Views
I couldn't help but overhear... AgentApple - 19/07/2014 01:13:01 PM 786 Views
Good, I was hoping you'd drop by! Legolas - 19/07/2014 08:33:44 PM 948 Views
I strongly beg to differ with your position re: Hamas Tom - 26/07/2014 04:25:54 PM 696 Views
Sorry, I don't see that. Legolas - 26/07/2014 08:57:08 PM 810 Views
I guess if you believe the lies of Hamas your position makes sense. Tom - 27/07/2014 03:20:03 PM 748 Views

I certainly don't believe everything they say, no. Legolas - 27/07/2014 06:43:51 PM 820 Views
As so often the Economist is the voice of common sense: Legolas - 29/07/2014 05:44:59 PM 868 Views
The Economist is the voice of London finance. Tom - 03/08/2014 03:22:47 AM 658 Views
That bias works out well for the purpose of finding pragmatic solutions for conflicts, though. Legolas - 03/08/2014 05:51:39 PM 847 Views
Or for creating casuist arguments in order to take a side based on self-interest... Tom - 05/08/2014 09:55:58 PM 742 Views
Honestly? Do you seriously believe that is the real reason why they wrote that? *NM* Legolas - 06/08/2014 09:17:17 PM 339 Views
the carrot and stick is somewhat apt, although israel should have given way more carrots to date moondog - 22/07/2014 08:57:13 PM 829 Views
So Israel should back the least radical Palestinian faction & construct Palestinian infrastructure? Joel - 23/07/2014 04:51:19 AM 802 Views
yes moondog - 23/07/2014 05:04:58 PM 941 Views
I pretty much agree with everything you said. AgentApple - 24/07/2014 09:46:22 AM 916 Views
Israel is 100% right to kill children playing soccer on the beach? you have reached a new low... *NM* moondog - 22/07/2014 08:59:50 PM 366 Views
No less than Hamas is 100% right to GET them killed hiding behind them Joel - 23/07/2014 04:38:55 AM 831 Views
these kids were playing soccer with *JOURNALISTS* they were not being used as human shields moondog - 23/07/2014 04:59:05 PM 802 Views
Why do you hate America? Joel - 23/07/2014 02:29:24 AM 789 Views
Bottom line - stop lobbing missles into Israel and the problem is solved. Anonymous2000 - 28/07/2014 03:35:46 AM 720 Views
It's a circle of violence. Both sides are the villian. MrFarstrider - 31/07/2014 03:50:52 AM 832 Views
