I think SIS must be Senior Intelligence Service?
that may have been me that said that but it wasn't a statement of what I think is fact, it was a musing.
TBH I ignored Israel for years because, frankly, I view them as a barbaric religion addled country akin to any in the middle east.
I thought, "these fucking lunatics will never stop fighting the arabs, ever, and I don't give a fuck what they do."
I thought (stupidly) that the Jews living abroad lived abroad because they didn't want to be caught up in the idiocy of the country that was 'made for them.'
But there is no denying the evil of Israel just as there is no denying the evil of most countries during my lifetime.
I hope that goes a ways to explaining my earlier comment.
