While my presence there wasn't exactly celebrated, they gave me freedom to say what I wanted and on one occasion I was even allowed to publish a guest post.<br /><br />Then, all of a sudden, my comments were blocked. When I tried to contact David T, he didn't answer my e-mails or chat requests. I believe the decision may have been taken by one of his co-bloggers and he thought overruling him was not worth it.<br /><br />Nevertheless, I like David T, and I like how his blog refuses to engage in the denigration of Arabs and blind defense of Israel.

Why, I ...I never thought policed you, Fake-Ibrahim. Why, I haven't even alerted our Rossario branch of the Elders of Zion to your case. True, I once shut down a blog you and I had set up, when it became clear you'd done so dishonestly, but then you started another one which I even linked to. Hardly convincing as a form of muzzling.<br /><br />No, you mistake justified criticism for an attempt to silence you. I'm of the persuasion that people's decisions have significance. When a far-away fellow with very little relevant education gets the notion he should dedicate a sizable chunk of his time, under a false identity, to disseminating lies, half lies and distortions about the Jews, I allow myself to name him for what he is.Yaacovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835192312242961481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-26723137550095765352009-08-11T20:52:25.055+03:002009-08-11T20:52:25.055+03:00For the record, I never said I'm an instructor...For the record, I never said I'm an instructor in Catalan in Rosario, and I'm not one.<br /><br />Keep on thought-policing people, and disseminating the freedom-hating notion that the place where someone is born determines the topics he should be allowed to write about.

An instructor in Catalan in far-away Rossario who's blog obsesses with the Jewish State. How odd. Moreover, as this comment of yours demonstrates, you do so with no more than an extremely superficial understanding of your topic - which is to be expected, given your distance (geographic but mostly epistimologial), lack of relevant languages, and paucity of sources.<br /><br />As for that tragic murder, it fits into no obvious pattern, so I've decided to wait till they catch the murderer before pontificating. Since I haven't the faintest idea who he is, I don't see how drawing lessons from it might be helpful.Yaacovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835192312242961481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-58917502496443774522009-08-11T18:29:49.052+03:002009-08-11T18:29:49.052+03:00Honestly, when I read the title of this post I tho...Honestly, when I read the title of this post I thought you had finally brought yourself to do a post about former MK Shlomo Benizri, who <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/956334.html" rel="nofollow">stated</a> in the Knesset: "A cost-effective way of averting earthquake damage ... would be to stop passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the State of Israel, which anyways causes earthquakes."<br /><br />Or about Interior Minister Eli Yishai, of <a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3219924,00.html" rel="nofollow">"gays are sick people"</a> fame. <br /><br />Instead, you chose to focus on a thoroughly unknown and irrelevant Dutch journalist, whose only mentions on the Internet are to report her antisemitic remarks.<br /><br />There's a clear difference between the Dutch journalist and the Israeli politicians. The Dutch journalist represents no one but herself and her words have had no practical consequences. On the other hand, both gay-hating politicians were elected by the people of Israel. No legal actions have been started against them; therefore, their hate is the responsibility of the whole Israeli society.<br /><br />And their words have had a practical consequence: two people were savagely mowed down at a gay center in Tel Aviv.
