No, it's not.  :huh: The title is: "Anti-Semitic BBC Strikes Again?  Or just incompetence?"  I'm sure that's what grumbler's issue was. :unsure:

Grumbler, read the title of the thread.

I can now understand your confusion.  You are not even sure what you are saying.
Ah.  You don't understand the meaning of "allegation."  In understand why you don't know what I am saying, and think it something else entirely.

That the BBC has been widely criticized for being anti-Semitic is hardly news - nor that the BBC has spent hundreds of thousands of pounds trying to prevent the release to the public, under the FOIA, of its own investigation into the matter (the Balen Report).  I ask a question, which is not the same as making an allegation.  Find a good lawyer and he can explain the difference to you (hint:  don't trust "internet chat board lawyers" who are as likely to be frauds as "Internet former SEALs").

:huh:  Okay. If that's all you can see, then there is no communicating with you.  Our conversation is perforce over.

And you dont understand that stating a reason for a course of conduct is antisemtism is in fact an allegation.

What's wrong with my statement?  I think our conversation is over because you just made a fool of yourself.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I don't know.  I can see how that is a pretty misleading title.  You would have to read the article a bit with the title in mind to realize Israel was not actually spying on the US and that was just the cover of the FBI agent.

And you don't understand that a question isn't a statement.  You don't need a lawyer to correct that misapprehension; any handy fourth grader should be able to set you straight.

I agree the title of the story is misleading.  I did argue that mentioning Israel in the story is legitimate since it's reasonable to ask who he thought he was selling secrets to.  Since Grumbler is arguing with me, I take it that he disagrees.
