Yuval-

I stopped short of  calling YOU  an anti-semite. Instead, I posed
a  question concerning "tone and content", to focus on the tragic
similarities between your crude,   hateful  attacks  on   certain
Jews  and  those of antisemites.  The choice of words is required
to illustrate that  valid, ironic, similarity.

Unfortunately the  wording gave you an excuse to dodge the thrust
of that question.

I will rephrase it:  "Does  being  Jewish  give  you  license  to
attack  other  Jews  in  the  low, hateful manner that  virtually
characterizes the (non-Jewish) antisemite?"

Why do you stoop to their means and mentality?
