Ted, Quite frankly, this is a very sore spot with many here in US. The government sends Isreal $3 Billion every year, while our schools are in disrepair, environmental problems are left unsolved and more. Enormous power, far beyond numbers, and very self serving. It is not a neo nazi attitude. It is probably similar to how the Quebecquois (did I spell that right?) feel about "English" rule. Most of the arguments are that we need to get on with things and leave Leica alone, not saddle them with long gone history--or take on every unfair historical event and try to rectify. In this case it is just too self serving. BTW, its been around a hundred here and humid, so you have my sympathy. donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego www.donalphilby.com
