I read your comment three times, trying to...David,<br /><br />I read your comment three times, trying to understand what is it precisely you are trying to say.<br /><br />Sentence 1: "How many European nations will end up on Israel's blacklist this week?" Whom is Israel blacklisting in this case? Or what was the other one?<br /><br />Sentence 2: "No, this is not a game show." What precisely is not a game show?<br /><br />Sentence 3: "This is either the reality of a rogue state that doesn't seem to play nice with others, or the handiwork of a former bar-room bouncer from Moldavia." Again the use of "this", I guess you suppose that that bar-room bouncer issues press-releases on IDF site too. Oy vey...<br /><br />Sentence 4: "Either way, Israel needs to learn to conduct its diplomacy behind mahogany panels, over cognac and cigars, and not in its right-wing press." What does diplomacy have to do with a poor underpaid IDF press-officer with poor underpaid knowledge of geography and/or regional realpolitik?<br /><br />David, I cannot help to notice your overflow of bile when you write about Israel. This is a personal and fully legitimate allergy and I wish you all the luck with it. <br /><br />However, it is as legitimate for me to point out that your state of generic irritation when writing about Israel tends to interfere with your logical thinking. Four sentences totally missing the point(s) of what has happened and as a result, some generic rumbling about something you dislike.<br /><br />For a professor of computer science and a software developer it's a poor show.<br /><br />(Apologies to Philosemite for responding to other commenter, usually I don't do it, but this is a bit too much too miss).SnoopyTheGoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920565522498918323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196447065691555971.post-83680757957493255202009-08-24T12:15:43.568-07:002009-08-24T12:15:43.568-07:00How many European nations will end up on Israel...How many European nations will end up on Israel's blacklist <b>this</b> week? No, this is not a game show. This is either the reality of a rogue state that doesn't seem to play nice with others, or the handiwork of a former bar-room bouncer from Moldavia.
