I give it a decade. Then it’ll either be a Palestine for one and all, or a nuclear wasteland. Depending on what the lunatics decide.

John, you don't know me or my family history any more than I know yours.  Although it doesn't have any bearing on the validity of my comments, I can asure you that I have never set foot in Ireland but I have lived in Israel.  If you have nothing to bring to this forum other than dreary personal attacks, please save Antony the effort of deleting your comments and just don't bother. Now we'll wait to see if Antony is a man of his word or if he can only delete comments from people who disagree with him.
