33. This will be my last response
Edited on Fri Nov-28-03 07:54 PM by tinnypriv

1. There was a question in each of your posts. Not questions. I responded to each.

2. You ignored points (1) and (2) which I provided. Unsuprisingly, given that (2) easily reveals that you lack the minimal competence to even attempt commentating on these matters.

3. You do not appear to know what citation is. I suggest you pursue the matter.

4. I did not quote from an article, I quoted from a speech and an interview. I gave the source where I first discovered them: Fateful Triangle, page 69. I used the abbreviation "FT" when citing it as I always do in this forum, assuming that anybody serious would know what I was referring to. It seems I was mistaken, but that says more about you than it does about me.

5. Before you google for counter-discussion of Fateful Triangle, I suggest you ask the moderator of this forum what 3 books would be a useful recommendation as background to the conflict. The third item will be illuminating.

6. There were proposals and demands for the PLO to change the charter before the 80's (and innumerous times since). Again, common knowledge. Now, if the only case against your argument was that you were unaware of this it would be illustrative. The fact that you not only do not know this but think you can simply invent the ridiculous statement that nobody proposed changing the charter until the 90's simply serves to remove any lingering doubt that you can claim any pretence of rationality.

7. You say "20 and 23 years ago", and yet two sentences later say "15 years ago". It seems internal contradiction is yet another thing you are unaware of.

8. Considering (3), this may not be all that shocking, but nowhere did I say the words "everybody knows". I find this amusing, considering your feeble attempts to berate my supposed lack of citations. Maybe I'm easily amused. :D

Now, as I said in the title, don't expect another response on this topic.

I don't say that often, but in this case I think it is more than warranted, given the time I've already wasted on these two posts which could have been better spent on more productive endeavours.
