Guys, I'm glad that my blog encourages a vigorous debate, but must you express yourself so rudely? You're not being rude to me, but you're being stunningly rude to each other. As people who are presumably adults, is it really necessary to address each other as "ridiculous fool" and invite each other to have a PET scan?

Surely, if you have passed your fourteenth birthdays, it is possible to disagree with each other without expressing yourselves with so much spite? Jonathan Hoffman, you off all people should appreciate this piece by Keith Kahn Harris, given that you've been to one of his dinners: http://www.thejc.com/lifestyle/lifestyle-features/42738/how-ease-divisio...

And of course antisemitism is a live issue in Britain today. I recommend you all to read Anthony Julius' "Trials of the Diaspora". Of course we are not facing imminent pogroms and deportations from the UK - but there's more to antisemitism than that.
