After over a decade of EFL teaching, I have no doubt that people don't read all the words, so I need to warn them that I don't recognize a separate Arab nation here. Maybe I ought to write Pseudestinian aka "<i>Palestinians" sic</i>.<br /><br />Actually, when I saw there was a comment, I thought you would mention the news that Abbas may be using resignation as a bargaining chip.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-81764683252187579672009-11-09T23:17:33.070+02:002009-11-09T23:17:33.070+02:00FYI, the normal usage of sic is after the word bei...FYI, the normal usage of <i>sic</i> is <b>after</b> the word being quoted, not before. It is understandable but it does cause a pause as I am reading.

With a lack of healthy democracy (and the Yesha Arab society is not getting too much closer to it in the near future), you want a strong dictator who can control the factions but mainly, to give the US and us the feeling that he is cooperating. <br /><br />One can only pray that the powers that be do not ridicule the Israel legal system and demand us to free Barghouti (another mafia don).joshnoreply@blogger.com
