Statistics Lines: 14 Xref: watmath net.religion.jewish:1192 net.politics:6591 What Martillo immediately ascribes to anti-Semitism may simply be uninformedness on Tutu's part. Of course, it would be uncharacteristic of Martillo to entertain this possibility. Regarding nationalism, I suggest Martillo not limit his diatribes to Moslems. It seems almost all nationalistic movements, even if they begin constructively (preservation of culture, furthering of identity, advancement of education), assume malevolent form (supression of other nationalities). It is not something peculiar to Arabs or Islam, nor something from which Jews are themselves immune. Before flaming, check what I said, rather than what you think I said. David Rubin
