invinciblemuse: It´s getting a bit annoying that you all seem to know each other´s opinions so well, that some of you just post references to whatever was said before, instead of just stating clearly what you mean.
It´s not exactly welcoming to someone like me, who is new to these threads and would like to participate, but doesn´t understand what on earth those hints and clues are supposed to mean!
It's the secret lingo of the overly involved... what, so you don't want to take a crash course on Israeli affairs? Sometimes it's just best to step away from the thread.. I do.

Don't fret too much. Silverbirch will start another thread soon enough about Israel, Zionism, etc., and once you are in at the beginning you will be able to get a good gist of it all. There are some extremely well-informed posters on here, and there are posters who don't answer questions posed to them, and then we get people just coming along for a ride. It's cool. See you on the next thread - and ask away.

It feels like some kind of code, and I´m the only one who´s not been told how to use it.
It´s damn hard to participate in a debate when the replies of others are nothing but vague hints to previous posts that have nothing to do with the ongoing discussion.

You have to catch one at the beginning or it gets too involved to be catch-up-able kiddo... . Because they keep bringing up points and complaints from page 15 all the way to page 49... at 50 they shut them down... and they'll start a new one on the same subject with a different name . So you could be behind 150 pages and never understand innuendos of what they're on about.
