Reply #23: Way to go not bothering to read a single word I said...

I do recall mentioning more than once the xenophobia and bigotry of my own country as well as the US, but you must be reading the version of DU where everything's the opposite of what was actually said...

Ah, yes. Here's what I said: 'Like I said, it's no different than the xenophobia that drives the hysteria and opposition to asylum seekers here. The same people who suffer from head explosions over a few hundred Sri Lankan refugees turn a blind eye to all those European backpackers overstaying their visas and in some cases making lives here.' Obviously I was being very tricky and only really clever folk were able to read it as: 'Only Israel is bigoted/xenophobic when people/families with expired work visas are deported blahblahblah'
