Dave Rich: JEWISH WORLD / What's in a hyphen? How an innocuous mark justifies antisemitism
Talkback
Title:A very poor analysis

This is a very poor attempt at linguistic analysis. I fail to see how the hyphen gives `legitimacy` to an oppressive ideology. The author merely asserts this argument and seems to make this assessment with a strange somrsaulting of language that doesn`t achieve very much. What about his capitalisation of `Holocaust Denial`? Please, focus on the more important issue of oppression - of Jews, Arabs, Palestinians and all people - and its operation, rather than its idiosyncratic hyphenation.
