Well said Watso and totally true, yes everyone I speak with has a real distain for the Israelis. The word evokes images of starvation and cruelty on a mass scale, not seen since the concentration camps of WW2 which also were honendous. For younger people who have not seen these WW2 atrocities unfortunately there is little to compare, however Israel now has to accept the similarity whether they like it or not - that is now the real world out there and a fact. But of course they won't own it and continue to convince people otherwise. History will decide and they won't be writing it, no matter how they try.
