"Melian dialogue", And reading it in the original Greek, I am sure. You could discuss it with VD Hanson, but it's a little wonky here.

Actually, I used Nadine as someone whom I find to be consistently honest & accurate when discussing Palestinian/Arab/Israeli conflict. Is she biased? Absolutely. Everyone is biased. That's easy enough to filter through once you accept this reality. I have found that when the Palestinian/Arab/Israeli debate heats up that Nadine can cite historically accurate incidents, both past & present, that establish the history of this problem & why it is unlikely to be resolved easily. Nadine does not frame her discussions using inflammatory & derrogatory terms, nor does she employ gross exaggeration, blatant distortions, intentional deceit & hate language toward or about those who she disagrees with. Instead she attacks the message factually & accurately with credible evidence. And on the rare occasion that Nadine is found to be wrong or inaccurate about an assertion, she does not deny, obfuscate or ignore it. She does not respond with vicious personal attacks. She admits to the error & moves on. And that is precisely why I do not trust anything you post. IMO, you are the polar opposite & have earned my complete distrust. Your posting history is clear evidence why. "I'm guessing that you view Nadine as the resident attack dog and so you've decided to get in on the latest "Hate all the Arabs fest" with a little nip of your own. And for this you interrupt all that meaningful agreeing with yourself over on your vanity thread?"
