Nice of you to ask. I mentioned my Jewish ancestry on this thread long before you showed up. I find SI to be a fun distraction when I am bogged down in engineering work, and between the World Cup and the restart of the Premiership League in mid-August. I doubt that I even logged on to SI during June, and have never communicated with anyone in Israel other than I once considered taking an engineering position there 4 years ago. Hope this helps.

Seeing as you deny the fact that you are an antisemite I find your comment about deception here at SI curious.

emile. You said....." Every reader should questions the writers as to their background. Just as no one would trust and author without first understanding his background and point of view, readers should not blindly trust those who refuse to clearly identify themselves and their background. Those with something to hide will immediately find excuses to continue their deception. "..... OK.....But only so we can understand why you may say the things you say. Got to admit, you do use your own name. Are you now or have you ever been a member of the KKK? Do you now belong to or have you ever belonged to the david duke organization? Do you believe that all races of people are created equal? Do you still live in Louisiana? Do you play the harp? :-)

Re: Every reader should questions the writers as to their background.

Rather than asking for the posters' true backgrounds/identities I find it safer and more sensible to analyze their comments and their favorite sources/links. I, for one, find it ironic that the most detrimental articles/reports on Israel/Zionism are to be found in... the Israeli newspapers! Of course, our Zionist crowd will hail it as a blatant evidence to brand Israel as a freedom/free-speech haven amidst state-controlled Arab media... As if the mere acknowledgement of a crime, somehow, offsets the crime itself. Anyway, one of the Internet's key features is that no one can claim the "last word" --authoritatively, that is. It's up to everybody to challenge any opinion/statement with his/her own viewpoint. Then again, don't you find it troublesome that the most rabid supporters of (cyber-)censorship are Zionists the world over? Oh, sure enough, their first target was quite "PC": neo-Nazi and KKK websites. Last year, Jewish activists made a fuss about Yahoo!'s auction site because it auctioned Nazi/WWII memorabilia.... Well, let's not be fooled by their censorship tactics: first the far-right, next, the far-left, and eventually, just everybody who's failed the Zionist agenda. Gus
