Very gutsy question
Body Parts asks a very gutsy question: is Condi Rice anti-Israelist or anti-Semitic? With the way that she demanded that Israel make more concessions to the PLO, this prompted the very biting question.
I'm just going to have to point out that "palestine", of course, is a Roman name for Israel, that the emperor Hadrian and his gang came up with political purposes, and it's very off-base to be using something like that when it's the PLO, if anything, that should be used as a descriptive term.
Other than that, this is bullseye arguing at its best, and I'd very much recommend reading it.
