Re: Anti-Semitism

[Lionel Mrocki <amrocks...>]

Please folks, lets be very careful about political comment on this list.  I
understand how Judith's experiences have triggered this response, but I can see
that its very possible that the next reply to Fred's, may end up departing from
the Jewish-music theme of this list.

Personally, I note that when discourse goes off-course, some get quite coarse as
they take re-course, and things can get nasty, and Ari has to intervene, of
course!
