But what you won't find with the instances in the Congo, or Myanmar etc is a sickening level of public support for the aggressors akin to what we've seen here. Exactly. The primary difference being the aggressors were killing Jews in this case. When the apologists claim I am dehuminizing .....I sim...

Farva

Sorry, to clarify, who is supporting the aggressor? Who is supporting Hamas?
No-one on this thread has?
I made this point before. Hamas and the Palestinian people are not interchangeable. They are different.

I do find this poll quite interesting. Prior to the Oct 7 attacks there was support in Gaza for a peaceful solution. Unsurprisingly as the Israeli response intensified, support for the Oct 7 attacks has increased. Did we doubt that? Around 50% of Gazians have experienced damage to their home. 10% h...

I think it's more the fact that even now so many people still deny the severity of cruelty and violence used in the attacks, or in some cases that they even happened at all. Bollocks , who here deny anything such thing . Let alone that they didn’t happen ? @ Jackal, He has a point. They don't deny ...

Did the other thread get nuked? Ill say here what I said there. Rassie and Henry have a lot to answer for. Head coaches of tier one nations should not be empowering the abuse of refs. Those two did. That filters down to community games. I expect leadership from two of the most powerful men in rugby....

Don’t forget about health insurance wherever you go, you won’t be covered by the local insurances if they exist and not sure if your own personal circumstances but likely not covered by your home system. That can rack up a bit of cost but the other option (and it does happen) is you get sick / injur...

What is with the accusations of anti semitism thrown out here?

That’s pretty extreme accusations and I hope backed by more than just “they disagree with me” but I am concerned they don’t.

I was talking with a guy about cellphone plans having free nights and weekends and he reminded me that the late 1900s was actually the time of beepers. Nah, we were using them in the mid 1980s and they were quite common then I got my first mobile in 2000 (Nokia 5110) but that was unusual. The 1990s...

I still think your words are suggestive of the argument that hamas had a right to do this,that it is the fault of israel that hamas did this? if only israel did this or that,caved in here or there, hamas would be happy.

The term "islamophobia" was invented by Iranian clerics in the 70s and 80s in order to try and equate criticism of Islam - a set of ideas held by millions of different people of different genders and races all over the world - with bigotry.

From Facebook Some perspectives. When the Boks kick England whines it as an 'ugly type of rugby'. When England kicks 41 times in a game and never looked like scoring, England was the much better team playing the greatest rugby but lost to refs and racism. When the Boks do a 7-1 split, English comme...

So every pub in Adelaide has pints.

The problem is a pint in Adelaide is actually a schooner.

If you want a pint you need to order an imperial pint.

Its like asking for a metre and getting 60cm. And then needing to ask for an imperial metre.
