Hi Mark, you are of course free to do what you feel is best but it seems a shame not to talk of Israel or Zionism given their influence and role in many of the subjects discussed here. It is hard to talk any kind of western politics or history with out it coming up sooner or later at least to some degree. And your signature is fine. I remember my Zionist relatives all loved Golda M. Some used to say that the Palestinians already had their own home land and it was called Jordan. Mmmm...
Anyway, I suppose just keeping it political and not personal will help. People can't help what race they are or where they are born. Even though John Howard did appalling things in our name doesn't mean we support him any more than it make every Jewish person a Zionist because of what is done by some in their name.
