When an ordinary Palestinian (for instance) says that they "don't like Jews," I would call his statement "unsophisticated." It's rather forgivable given that the only times he sees "Jews" is with their guns pointed at him, or driving between settlements on a road they aren't allowed to use. That has nothing to do with antisemitism and can be excused as an "unsophisticated" statement by an unsophisticated individual in an intolerable circumstance. By all accounts Mark Richey has been around for decades and is surely sophisticated. He surely knows exactly what he's saying and the entire historical context within which his remarks will be interpreted. His statements are inexcusable. I don't call for or expect an apology from him because I'm sure he knows exactly what he is doing. The rest of us can only speculate. - Jeff _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
