Something which had absolutely no impact on them. I can certainly understand why someone who was directly affected would. It was a very apt comparison. Do Catholics attack Protestants in France or the USA because of the situation in Northern Ireland? Because Marvin (a poster I have huge respect for by the way) suggested that Arabs might be entitled to do the same to Jews because of Israel.levets said:Agree... seems even PB is capable of a stupid brainless comment now and then....
Get all that PB. It was the the sentence I emboldened in your original post that caused me a problem:
" it was plain-old fashioned European/Christian Jew hatred"
I hope you can understand why.
Not really: I don't think PB was making a sweeping generalisation.
