Hmmm.... I support Israel, yet I've never called you an anti-semite, a
nazi, or a jew-hater.  You're overgeneralizing, Jeroen.  Please stop -
it's terribly boorish to do so.  I'm not going to further waste my
time engaging in this flamewar, though - the old warning against
trying to teach a pig to sing comes to mind.*
