Whoops,

Yes, ok the thread was a bit provocative ("Yes, anti-Semitic, but unintended, and harmless"). I meant that *in this case* (i.e. the Scottish Pastor's use of biblical imagery in discussing the current ME conflict) his picture was open to an interpretation that was anti-Semitic, but that it was unintentional, and harmless, not that anti-Semitism per se is unintentional and harmless. On the contrary, it can be very harmful, to understate the case. -- James Heartfield The 'Death of the Subject' Explained is available at GBP11.00, plus GBP1.00 p&p from Publications, audacity.org, 8 College Close, Hackney, London, E9 6ER.
