And they have support from the AntiZionists (who too are thus to some

many people).


I'm not 'up' on the term 'antizionist' but will assume your average
'lefty-do-good' is the same critter, albeit with a heart that bleeds like
no other, & indeed, I believe they are responsible to quite some degree.
Sadly, they seem incapable of apology.


"The incapacity of the United States to see Arabs as other human beings
is consistent with the ebbing of universalism within American society."
--Emmanuel Todd (After the Empire, p. 118)

Evidently, that incapacity may extend well beyond the United States.

Now the so-called militants and martyrs are murderers always ready to
murder people, including children, in kindergartens, synagogs, restarants,
public transportation buses, supermarkets.
Just give them a chance and they will murder.


So would Wlodzimierz Holsztynski believe that the Palestinians have an
inevitable natural predisposition to murder because they enjoy it?

(Yitzhak Frankenthal's eloquent response to Wlodzimierz Holsztynski's
rhetoric about the Palestinians was snipped by Wlodzimierz Holsztynski.)


Phoney coward anonimous "Nick Bourbaki", listen carefully.


Wlodzimierz Holsztynski seems even more disturbed now than usual for him.

A few of us are considering a class suit against you for your
lies, distortions, smearing other people real name etc.


Making accusations without providing evidence does not impress me.

You think that people are idiots like you, and some are (unless you faked
some of the idiotic support which you got, when writing in a dishonest way
about me). You will find that a judge and jury will read your harmful
falsifications carefully.


And they may find what Wlodzimierz Holsztynski has written on many occasions
in the chess newsgroups to be ...

I don't think that you have any money to pay for your deeds, so I
think that you eill do time. That will teach you responsibility.


"Anatoly Karpov is the SHAME of world chess."
--Wlodzimierz Holsztynski (4 December 2003)

"I have never insulted anyone, and certainly it is hardly possible
to insult Karpov."
--Wlodzimierz Holsztynski (5 December 2003)

"Yes, Karpov is a very strong player, while he is a very low creature,
a poor excuse for a human being."
--Wlodzimierz Holsztynski (6 December 2003)

I suggest for your own good never call me "racist".
You will not get away with your lies and dishonesty.
You better stop smearing my name now.


"So I am virtually spitting in his (my) face. It is as good as for real,
and even better. I don't need any violence. Spitting virtually in his
(my) cowardish face is good enough."

Complete the following sentence in ten words or less
Being proud of your country is like being proud of ...

I once heard the idea that a flag should be replaced by a picture of
your mum and dad having sex. This seems to sum it up nicely.


Speaking of national pride and sex:

"Augustus the Strong of Saxony was chosen king of Poland in 1697 and suddenly
found himself ruling two nations. He had a mistress of nine years' standing
in Saxony, and his minister advised him to choose a Polish woman for the same
honour in Warsaw. According to Count von Poellnitz, the king was advised as
follows: 'For, as your Majesty has two Courts, one in Saxony, and the other at
Warsaw, you ought to be a complete monarch, and in justice, keep a mistress at
each Court. This will conduce undoubtedly to the satisfaction of both nations.
At present the Polanders except against your keeping a Saxon mistress. If you
forsake her, to be enamored with a Polish lady, the Saxons will find equal
reason to complain. Whereas by being amorous six months in Poland, and the
other six months in Saxony, both nations will be satisfied.'"
--Eleanor Herman (Sex with Kings, p. 7)

(Perhaps some of the ardent male Polish nationalists who write in the chess
newsgroups would insist that any Polish mistress must be beyond comparison.
Not having had a Polish mistress, however, I cannot comment on that point.)

The most famous Polish mistress in history was Maria Walewska,
who became one of Napoleon's prize conquests.

"Indeed, it seemed that everyone (in Poland) wanted Maria to sleep with
Napoleon except Maria."
--Eleanor Herman (Sex with Kings, p. 87)

Proud Polish nationalists succeeded in persuading Maria Walewska that it was
her patriotic duty to surrender herself to Napoleon in the bedroom, an act that
they even compared to a Polish soldier sacrificing his life on the battlefield.

"Maria's sacrifice on behalf of her beloved nation was as doomed as
her love affair with the emperor (Napoleon) had been."
--Eleanor Herman (Sex with Kings, p. 87)
