Stathis, was this really necessary?  Are you telling me you don't get the
difference between a condemned murderer and Jewish citizens?  Or was this a
joke that fell flat, some kind of parody or something?

I haven't read the responses yet, but I fear I shall hafta do some
moderating to quiet the outrage, perhaps kill this thread.  We haven't had
to do that for a long time here.  Do read over what you posted, think about
it and offer a commentary if you wish.
