Ford, old fruit...to be honest, I have yet to visit Israel, though I do plan to as soon as things quiet down. I have huge admiration for a country which survives surrounded by the dark forces of Islamic non democracy and dynastic despotism. If I was born again it would a great advantage to be born Jewish. For your education, dear fella, I will leave you with this before I shoot off to the gym. That great empire builder, Lord Palmerson, was at a Paris Peace conference when the French prime minister scuttled over and, in an obsequious way, said, "My dear Lord Palmerston, had I not been born a Frenchman I could only wish to be born an Englishman". Lord P looked at him with astonishment,"My dear sir, had I not been born an Englishmen I would prefer not to have been born at all"
