As I enjoy Yaacov's blog, I tend to follow every comment thread, usually peppered with what have become familiar commentators, including you. Your comments consistently add good points I had not considered, thereby my enthusiasm at urging you to publish them independently. I'm sorry if I offended you; that was not the intent.Avigdorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008730229882004376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-41068382213144313752010-02-16T11:26:58.717+02:002010-02-16T11:26:58.717+02:00Victor thanks for the advice

How would you characterize the beliefs you represent through comments on Yaakov's blog?

There seem to be some writers getting uppity about the excesses of PC these organisations amongst others are demanding of them. The tipping point will hopefully turn out to be that the police finally managed to nail and send to jail their No.1 complainer of racism thuggish policeman. <br />SilkeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-48525961543976462242010-02-14T18:52:49.785+02:002010-02-14T18:52:49.785+02:00Yaacov, did you catch this?Yaacov, did you catch <a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3848050,00.html" rel="nofollow">this</a>?Avigdorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008730229882004376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-34392439036311624442010-02-14T17:35:25.756+02:002010-02-14T17:35:25.756+02:00Or HRW could simply ignore IDF participation claim...Or HRW could simply ignore IDF participation claim they were lied to and strong armed and generally do what those racist morons do.Empress Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073538968722986065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-21019770048071537002010-02-14T16:15:18.824+02:002010-02-14T16:15:18.824+02:00brought to justice yes, publicly bashed no (no pil...brought to justice yes, publicly bashed no (no pillory) <br />- remember how distorted and gleefull the writing was on the two slapped on the wrist IDF soldiers recently?<br />SilkeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
