Jeroen--

Is this really the style of argument you want to adopt? That because 
you think an unfair and slanderous attack has been made against X, 
you are going to respond by making an unfair and slanderous attack 
against Y?

I haven't seen anything this stupid since 1991?was it?, when some 
boneheaded African-American sophomore responded to the guy from 
Alabama who had hung a Confederate flag in his window by hanging a 
Nazi flag in hers.

You know how to behave better than this.

P.S.: ""It was thus alarming to see [left-wing anti-McDonalds 
anti-globalization European 'activist' Jose] Bove... informing 
viewers of the TV channel Canal Plus that the attacks on French 
synagogues were being either arranged or fabricated by Mossad. 'Who 
profits from the crime?' Bove asked. 'The Israeli government and its 
secret services have an interest in creating a certain psychosis, in 
making believe that there is a climate of anti-Semitism in France, in 
order to distract attention from what they are doing.' ..."
