Ken,
While I am an avid follower of international news particularly in the
Middle East, I don't think your threads are on-topic. I already get
most of your news from other newsgroups I subscribe to as well as the
news websites I visit. I don't think another newsgroup torn apart by
Israel vs. Palestine or Americans vs. Rest of the world is a good
thing.
Cheers
PS. I am not trying to muzzle your right to post whatever you want, I
am just giving you feedback.
