Well seeing as Hamas are an elected government I would think that this would give the USA more reason to talk to them than Sinn Fein.

Secondly you forget that Carter played the role of mediator in the negotations that brought about the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel. It was a great achievement. He was hoping to incorporate a deal…[Read more]

Ribery scored, Vieira scored, Zidane scored and Spain went home. I told you that you were writing off the French too soon.

If you try being serious for a second Tommy you’ll realize that there is a national security issue attached to this arab-israeli conflict. The clear injustice towards the palestinians is a source of resentment that is felt across the entire Islamic world and as a result it acts as a recruiting sergeant for extremists. They are able to convince…[Read more]

The Russians and other countries have carried out talks with Hamas and anyway we all know that this rhetoric about not talking to terrorists is all bullsh1t because the British government talked to the IRA before they called a ceasefire. Plus we all remember the americans rolling the red carpet out for Gerry Adams year after year after year.

Well if you look carefully, you’ll see that it was bassingbourne who brought the topic of slavery up. I was just commenting on what he said.

Well as far as I’m aware, the internal slave trade was not as brutal as the transatlantic system. In some instances temporary periods of slavery were used in place of prisons (which didn’t always exist). After the guilty party had served his punishment he would return home. Of course there were more sinister forms of slavery but when you think of…[Read more]

The military wing of Hamas claimed involvement in the raid but the political wing says that it doesn’t know the whereabouts of the prisoner. The people holding the prisoner now say that they want to exchange him for women and children held in Israeli jails. Whether you think the raid was the right thing to do in the big scheme of things, the fact…[Read more]

France have extremely good players in their side so I’m predicting a French victory against Spain. You people are dismissing the French too quickly. Any team with Henry, Trezeguet, Zidane, Ribery and Vieira in it is capable of beating any team in the world.

Trust me, no Black American will say that they are glad the slave trade happened. Also whatever internal forms of slavery that existed within Africa they were not as bad as the transatlantic trade that killed around 20 million people.

When you consider that the USA holds the global purse strings, it imposes policies on poor countries and gets…[Read more]

I still say that if you go abroad you should behave yourself and not needlessly offend your hosts. Some people don’t think they have to do that and they behave in the same loutish manner as they do at home. For the minority who behave like that they should have their passports taken away from them for 10 years or so to prevent them embarrassing…[Read more]

Again PB you’re being irrational. How is an attack by one group of combatants on another bunch of combatants an act of terrorism? You’re saying all soldiers are terrorists.

You really need to stop and reflect for a second on the nonsense that you’re spewing out. As I said before, you defeated your own argument. You sit there moaning about…[Read more]

PB you’re condoning these violations of international law and human rights and as I said before that kind of mindset is completely irrational. How can you condemn the terrorists for mudering women and children when you’re effectively saying that human rights and international law don’t matter. There is no logic in your argument. You dismiss the…[Read more]

Sorry PB but your analysis defies logic. You’re basically saying that international law and human rights don’t matter. If you follow that argument to its logical conclusion then the genocide that Milosevic tried to carry out in Kosovo was ok, Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait was justified and Bin laden’s attack on sept 11 was ok too. You can’t have a…[Read more]

I just think some people don’t know how to behave in public especially when they go abroad. I mean if you go to Germany, get drunk and rowdy and then start insulting the Germans well that’s just asking for trouble.

I think hooligans and other anti-social types will get a big wake-up call when the world cup is held in South Africa. They won’t…[Read more]

Well Israel eventually got a legal mandate to establish the state of Israel. There can never be a legal mandate for Israel to illegally annex palestinian land without the agreement of the Palestinians. This is because the occupation violates the UN charter, UN security council resolutions and the 4th geneva convention. Palestinians have the law on…[Read more]

I agree with Emma, let’s not waste our taxes on prosecuting these nazis. Just crucify them upside-down and then set the crosses on fire (poetic justice). Glad we finally see eye-to-eye Emma.

Proves my point though. You denounce the Palestinians but history will vindicate them just like Mandela, Ben Gurion, Kenyatta, etc.

I’m trying to work out whether PB is a screw or a an oink oink. It would explain a lot about what goes on around here.

This thread is such bullsh1t but then again it was started by Ugo. I guess the people he met on the train were on their way to the jobcentre to pretend they couldn’t speak english.

Think about it? Ugo a football fan upset about people talking loudly and swearing? Do me a favour. I’ve seen people fight in front of their children outside football…[Read more]
