Grasso's goal, for what ever his reasons, seem to be an Islamic, Palestinian state in all the land west of the Jordan. In the same vein as the hysterical European anti Israel sentiment, I think his anti-Zionism is is just another expression of antisemtism. BWTFDIK?

Hate literature?

What is the next step, labeling me a terrorist?

Always the knee-jerk reaction, Zeev?

It might be, but as long as Grasso does not get involved in personal attacks, but just quoting one sided hate literature, I will respond to the extent I can. Nothing wrong with finding out the origins of the Israeli flag. len may think that there is something wrong with some of the symbols having past religious meanings, but he can go and address that concern to at least another 50 other nations.

Zeev, you give len too much credit here. He knows the stripes on the Israeli flag come from the tallit. This has been exhaustively discussed on this and other threads already. He just chooses to go on 'questioning' it. He is just sidling coyly up to the old carnard that the stripes represent the Nile and the Euphrates and thus are code for Israel's territorial aspirations.
