Maybe not a sailor but when they ship you off to a concentration camp via a ocean
vessel, you better have your limes handy, Tanny

I've never found the term limey offensive. I remember working out in Canada and an American friend said something like "Hey limey pour me a beer would ya" to which my response was "We didn't build an Empire by giving things away for free colonist" was a good chuckle at any rate!
A very close friend of mine is Jewish and he comes out with some of the most appauling jokes I've heard, I'd certainly not repeat them at any rate.
I think the thing that's important to remember is the company and context comments are made in!

Imperium

I didn`t get that for jew and I google the word very often.

Me too and the ones who are making these hate laws are the very same people who kill Palestinian children in their own land and encourage westerners to fight their nasty wars of aggression against muslim countries.
We only have to think of George Orwell and 1984 and realise that if you want to control a man`s actions you must control his thoughts and to control his thoughts you must first control his words.
I call this form of political correctness word fascism.

Maybe if the so called Palestinians didn’t put their kids in the firing line and even use them as weapons and maybe if the terrorists didn’t hide behind their women and drag them into the firing line when retaliation took place fewer kids would be killed.

Maybe also if the Israelis deliberately as a government policy attacked civilians there would be room for condemnation, but they don’t.

On the other hand the so called Palestinians do just that with their random rocket attacks, homicide bombers, and all the rest of the cowardly attacks they make of the ordinary Israeli citizens whenever they get the opportunity.

Is that some sort of obsession you have?

So let's get this straight: the ones making 'hate laws' in this country are the very same people as the Israelis that you describe (wrongly) with such vitriol above? You can only mean Jews.

Couple these posts above with your posts supporting the idea that Hitler should have been given a free hand in Europe in the 1940s, your very clear equivocation on Holocaust denial and your obsession with the Aryan 'race' (the term you use), one could only conclude that you support the Nazi cause and its antisemitic tenets.

If I am wrong, would you please explain how anyone is supposed to interpret your posts any differently?

The Bear,

You are completely and utterly wrong about the Israelis attacking children, or not.

When I was in Israel/Palestine the Israelis had recently sacked and looted the schools in the refugee camps and they prevented students crossing checkpoints to get to their examinations. The IDF admitted to dropping 24 x 1000lb bombs in 'surgical' strikes after they destroyed a family home in Gaza killing women and children and a baby -yes they got the old man who was a wanted 'terrorist' but they dropped a 1000lb bomb to do it. The Palestinian 'terrorists', some are killers, some are just politicians, are entitled to have families and to live with them, or do you advocate people in a 60 year old struggle to regain the homes stolen at gunpoint should not live with their families for the period of the struggle.

The IDF have admitted to bulldozing over 1500 homes (making 15000 men, women and children homeless) because they 'might' be used for targetting IDF gun emplacements. They ransack people's homes at random, touch up the women to check for 'guns' (they don't always have female soldiers on patrol), they kill unarmed people who try to walk around their checkpoints within the illegally occupied territories (they actually killed a 19 year old Palestinian policeman who worked at the same location as I was working) and commit a thousand and one other abuses.

I have passed through IDF checkpoints and been f@cked around by the pathetic waste's of space that constitute the present day IDF. I have guns pointed at me by IDF 'soldiers' when I was in vehicles bearing US or UK diplomatic plates. The IDF target the elderly, the unarmed, women and children, most of them aren't big enough to target armed men!!!!!!!!!!!! Been there, seen it, done it, got the T-shirt!

Few who live and work in the West Bank for any period of time come back with a high opinion of the Israeli occupation. There is no justification, other than Biblical, for the illegal settlements in the West Bank, contrary to the 4th Protocol to the Geneva Convention. There is no justification for the Israeli law that allows the torture of prisoners, hundreds of whom are under 18 and are children/minors under our law.

Maybe I am, maybe I am not.

The question must be asked why.

He should not have surrounded himself with his family.

If you engage in war and stay with your family then you take your family onto the battlefield with you.

From what I have learned from a number of sources they do so with good reason. If you are on a street that has a house being used as a firing point or a spotting point then you have two options. Option one, prevent a civilian area being used as part of an armed campaign, option two, move.

I have no doubt that some individuals behave in an appalling manner but then, considering the appalling things that have been done to the Israeli’s and their families who can blame them? Not I.

If you mix amongst dogs don’t ***** if you get treated as if you might have contracted fleas.

I do wonder what your views might be had you been on the Isralei side and seen the effects of the Palestinian random attacks against civilians.

Actually the West Bank and a whole lot more besides could be said to all comprise of Israel, as the Palestinian state has been in existence since before the recognition of Israel. It is called Jordan.

The justification for Israel occupying the land that they do? The Balfour declaration and what followed by the League of Nations and the Sykes something declaration /agreement.

Personally I think the whole thing is a mess and that much of the trouble there and elsewhere is a hangover that won’t go away following what happened at the end of WW1.

Nevertheless there is a solution. For the so called Palestinians to recognise the legitimacy and right to exist of the state of Israel, for the attacks being conducted by both sides to stop, and for time to be allowed to let wounds heal and trust be built up.

It won’t happen of course. The Arabs will never cease until they have destroyed Israel completely.

Then, encouraged by that success they will target their next country to return to Islam.

Any bets which? I say probably Spain.
