No, it was pretty obvious what you were attempting to do.

Show a little intellectual honesty and admit it.

Anyway, as I said before, if you really want to continue this discussion it should be taken to the pit.

If that’s all you can see in a discussion about peace and how to obtain it, and what attitudes and types of ignorance are obstacles to it, that’s a real pity.

I don’t think I was displaying any kind of ignorant attitude. I think my understanding of the Israeli parliamentary system (relative to being an outsider, that is) and military history helps to deflect the potential ignorance you speak of.

That being said, I won’t compare Begin to Netanyahu because comparing any two politicians with an incredible career span is apples to oranges.

As far as a leader in the peace process, we’ll see. I’m rather sad Kadima couldn’t get its shit in order. They would have a different PM.

**Damuri Ajashi** , I am not making any comparison of the “quality” of the sniping; I am simply telling you both to stop it since even “mild” rejoinders are keeping the personal feud going at the expense of a genuine discussion.

**ElvisL1ves** , go back and read your last exchange with CitizenPained. Aside from snide remarks about your opponent’s “ignorance,” you have posted little pertinent to the discussion.

EVERYONE, address your posts to the topic and away from other posters. We have a perfectly functional BBQ Pit to express your personal displeasure with posters with whom you disagree.

Again, it’s a pity that’s all you can see here.

I know that this thread is long since dead, and I’m sorry to necro it, but I this is wildly false. [This is what actually happened.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13620432&postcount=668) And [I went to some great lengths to clarify the issue for him.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13641370&postcount=723)

Please do not be fooled by Damuri’s claims.

Thanks.

Finn, given that you two have quarreled over this in the past, I am pretty sure that you will get to quarrel over it in the future. This thread was not quite old enough to be a zombie, but next time, just wait until the topic comes up for its four thousandth iteration rather than bumping a dormant (and hostile) thread.

Can I point out that his posts pretty much confirm what I said?

It would have been wiser not to. Now leave this thread alone and find an active one to participate in.
