Comments on: Who’s To Blame For The Price Of Oil? Speculators, not Saudis http://peoplesgeography.com/2008/06/28/the-price-of-oil-speculators-not-saudis/ Creating people's geographies Mon, 19 Dec 2011 19:27:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: peoplesgeography http://peoplesgeography.com/2008/06/28/the-price-of-oil-speculators-not-saudis/#comment-44645 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 13:10:03 +0000 http://peoplesgeography.wordpress.com/?p=4773#comment-44645 Yes I did replace it and I inserted a comment thanking you for prompting the clarification, in which I also inserted your comment. Unfortunately I was revising it in two windows and closed the tab in which I had done so when I revised the comment. I’ll reproduce it as best as I can:

Emmanuel has just written:

I’m curious – why is it Anglo-American Judean and not Anglo-American Israeli or Zionist? Judean sounds connected to ancient Judea (if it were a reference to the religion it would be Jewish, not Judean), as if you suddenly accept the historical connection of the Jewish people to the land.

Simple slip of the tongue, no special reason. Its not even because that’s how some Israelis would wish to be seen. I’ve replaced it with Israeli.

I’m still curious why you originally chose the word Judean (I’m not accusing you of anti-Semitism or Judeophobia – I’m just plane curious).

As I said before, USrael or Bushmert are much more catchy than Anglo-American Israeli axis of terror. It’s too long. Maybe you should use an acronym like AAIAT?

We should be squarely blaming the western war criminals (the Anglo-American Israeli regime axis of terror), then. Well described, thanks for that.
