I agree with some of Sharon's actions, some of Bush's actions, even some of Clinton's actions. arthur -----Original Message----- From: William B Ward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 11, 2003 10:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Futurework] Picture juxtaposing tradition, advanced technolo gy, and [benign] law enforcement Arthur, I have to jump in on that one. There are a lot of Jews who are against Israeli policies in Palestine. Also, Palestinians are Semitic. Since it is a free world, people can be called anti-Semitic if they challenge Israeli policies. To call such individuals, however, anti-Semitic is not, IMHO, even in the long-term interests of Israel. Do you identify with the actions of Ariel Sharon?
