Re: Israel and the US War on Iraq: A Lethal Warning

re:
"The opening statement in the "Israel and the US War on Iraq" story
is hardly inspiring, and gets the response...

"Except on the internet, where the anti-Zionist's seem to be ready
to reopen Auschwitz.""

"M. Junaid Alam" <redjaguar@xxxxxxxxx> replied:
I do not see how the author's opening statement, which reads,

"It's remarkable how rarely Israel is mentioned in regard to the
American plans to attack Iraq"

indicates even remotely that the author is interested in "reopening
Auschwitz."

What sort of nonsensical statement are you uttering?

You cannot invoke the name of Auschwitz, as if the man is a Holocaust
denier, based on anything he said in the entire article...

Apologies for not responding sooner, I've been away.
Aplogies also to M. Junaid Alam if gave offence.

I did not intend my comments to indicate that the writer was
in any way condoning such at all. I certainly don't think that
my point was "nonsensical", but obviously it was ill-expressed.

The piece had a number of interesting points, and I did read it [:)],
but my argument was solely with his opening gambit.

I may be alone  on this list in recieving copious rightwing
libertarian nonsense spam all day every day, but my experience
simply makes a nonsense of his opening statement. This would not
merit attention were it not for the fact the I am very uncomfortable
when I find that the situation in Iraq lands with side by side with
a number of anti-Zionists. I was not suggesting the author was one,
and if he saw my comment and construed it that way I would fall
over myself so reassure him that I meant nothing of the sort.

I do, of course, stand by invoking Auschwitz vis anti-Semites.

Paul
