Ubuntu 11.10 makes Unity compulsory

I always think it's amusing that people fail to realise that the Arab
nations are also full of Semitic people, so it would be bizarre for
them to be anti-Semitic. The modern use of the term "Anti-Semitism" is
based on a very narrow field of ideas from Germany in the 19th
century, so to apply it to anyone apart from the Nazis and their
direct modern equivalents is just plain wrong. No matter how much one
dislikes Hezbollah or Hamas they certainly can't be described as
Nazis.

To get on to the off-topic topic, I give up talking to people about
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for that very reason. There's so much
angry bile that it's almost impossible to complain about Israel's
actions without being dubbed an anti-Semite. I'm not prepared to talk
to people who are that wilfully idiotic.

Now back to flaming Unity!
