Gabe, I am shocked, SHOCKED, to learn that you would have an illegal satellite connection.

It doesn't happen......and why not? Because it's a sick sick society that revels in the death of innocents. Peter, still waiting for the French or English boot to kick you out?

Baker quotes large numbers of people who seemed to feel in these years that the entire German population, including women and children, were to blame for the Nazis and should be punished accordingly. For example, the writer Gerald Brenan: “Every German woman and child killed is a contribution to th...

I wonder what would have been the reaction of the audience if they had seen mangled bodies instead of mangled buildings? I am prepared to bet, even after the horrors of the blitz to many of Britain's cities, they would not have been rejoicing and definitely NOT handing out sweets in Holloway Road. ...

Did he have weapons of mass destruction?
Did the occupation forces find ONE piece of evidence? Perhaps, Rumsfeld was right and the weapons were shipped into Syria.

where the first words uttered by a child is often the code for 'take cover, missile approaching'? There they have fifteen seconds warning and a trip to the local shop/school/dentist/piano lesson etc is computed in terms of how many air raid shelters you will pass on the way in case of need. C'mon g...

"Sick Society" actually is a tame expression of the reality that people like yourself cover their eyes to. I remember that during THE war, we would loudly cheer the newsreels showing massive bombings of German cities. Were we part of a sick society. No! We were happy to have revenge. The ...

Derision poured on him from his own team's fans, Jose Mourinho's name ringing out and the Chelsea manager on the brink of a disaster of his own making. Hi Gerald! It was disgraceful for the fans to so insult their winning coach, Avram Grant. I think a lot of this fan derision of Grant is Jew hating...

If I'm wrong in interpreting you I'd be interested to know what you did mean. Hag sameach to you too, Margie. I am sorry that I was misunderstood. Shimon posted the articles, and basically invited us to call him a racist, so I did. I thoroughly condemn any rejoicing over the deaths of innocents, bu...

Why do you think it skipped the European holocaust generation so that they didn't fight back?

Hi Margie!

Sorry, but I don't understand what you are saying/

I agree! You are a racist.

Perhaps it is in our Semitic blood?
Could it be from The Book which prescribes some pretty bloodthirsty sentences for all types of "crimes"?

Peter, go and have a little rest. You have become quite paranoid, and irrational.

Did anyone see Spurs/Chelsea match?

It was a fantastic match. Really exciting!

It was almost a perfect example of the wonderful world of footie.

I am expecting a grateful phone call from my Gunner cousin.

I am totally against this, and most other boycotts.

There is now a growing chorus for a boycott of the Olympics, too.

Just plain dumb!

Bill 101 isn't a discriminatory law is it? It has withstood the tests of the Supreme Court and there is no "case" against Bill 101 before the UN Human Rights Commission is there? I didn't "release any details of my master plan to deport" anybody from Israel.......because I never...

Le Maudit Anglais, who may....if you ask him nicely, explain to you what his name means. I am not in favour of any country passing laws that discriminate against their minorities. I don’t like the Quebec language laws, and I think they mainly hurt the Quebecois. I don’t understand why you, living i...

[quote="peterWhy not?[/quote] To repeat what I wrote above..... Peter is quite keen for Israel to adopt language laws presently in place in Quebec. That would allow Arabs to have their own schools, but all the road signs throughout the land could only be in Hebrew and all exterior signs such as...

No I am not.

Are you in favour of Israel passing a law like Bill 101 or not? I find it quite arrogant for people living in one country to blithely pontificate about the fate of a large native born minority population living in another country. I suppose Chutzpah is an appropriate adjective. That is bad enough. ...

For example - Foootball.

Nah! Spurs are part of my heritage, even though I was born close to Highbury

You state that no language other than French can be displayed in public. You KNOW that this is false. It's true, and that is why you won't fine a single English road-sign in the province, and if you do by chance and report it, that sign will be changed right quick. Ah! You mean road signs.

The other North London team also embarrased itself.

Wales 29 - France 12 and we have won the Grand Slam.

I do enjoy my 'sport' on a Saturday, ask Margie and Peter

Congratulations!

Unfortunately, I do not watch or understand that sport.

Cheers!

The demogaphics of a country are what you make of it, the Arabs have an amazingly good situation in Israel when you compare it to English-speaking people in Quebec. Legislation was passed in Quebec in 1972 and then strengthened in 1976 that has totally changed the demographics of Quebec and we have...

But what part of the area do you define as being "occupied"? If there is to be a Palestinian state, what should its borders be?

'67 border, or lines, or something similar as mutually agreed.

Why did you ask such a question? As though I had never heard of '67 and other wars.

If a country has it's forces in another land, and has secured that land it could be called an occupation. No?

No, Margie! I thought it was by some sort of miracle

You and I know that LMA is a good friend of Israel and the Jews so lets not be too harsh with him. . You might be quite surprised if you knew what good friends our family has been to Israel.
