Eyeless in Gaza at the mills with slaves
( a quote from a blind English middle-class woman-despising 17th
century republican moralising prig whose intellectual world was based
on the book of lies that is the Bible, plus the despicable Classics.

fictions that underlie the State of Israel and the manipulation of
minds that constitutes Islam)
