Hi Neil,

(off the topic, but I just couldn't resist... One of my biggest problems.)

I know that when it comes to Israel vs. Palestine it's a neverending argument. I just figured from your previous posts that you're a reasonable and thoughtful person, and as such, you might agree that the fact that some people in Israel discuss the transfer policy towards the Palestinians is not enough to reach the conclusion about Israel being a racist country. Desperate - maybe. Out of options - possibly. Racist - never. This problem is very far from being black-and-white, and in my view should be treated as such.
