Yes Mr. Sword, the books I mentioned are indeed in my library and I'm looking at them as I type this letter. If it pleases you to assume and accuse me of not reading them and that I purchased them just to provoke you, so be it. Actually, I chose those books as well as others because I'm keenly interested in Jewish and Muslim history and I did not read them to challenge you or to refute your experts, Wikipedia. Just in case I had read those books don't you think it may be some what foolish based on your knowledge from Wikipedia to reiterate your understanding of Israeli history presumptuously?

Here's another point that may upset you, Balfour was a Scottish Jew and not British although he was a member of the British Parliament. Furthermore, the Balfour Declaration was not on behalf of Britain but rather on behalf of the League of Nations who alloted the mandate for Britain's administration. I forward this tidbit of information to you in order to infuriate you, knowing that once again I present some information that you did not have or shall I say Wikipedia did not have.

My last point which clearly demonstrates your misunderstanding my comments is that I've always and to this day considered Winston Churchill as one of the greatest statesmen who ever lived. And further more, I believe that Britain was one of the greatest nations of the last 150 years. Always be careful when spilling your bile frivolously, as some of it may fall on you and make you appear rather foolish.
