    I think the proper term is 'hissy fit'. I like 'wee spasm' though.

    The tsarist police, in alliance with the landowners and the capitalists, organised pogroms against the Jews. The landowners and capitalists tried to divert the hatred of the workers and peasants who were tortured by want against the Jews. ... It is not the Jews who are the enemies of the working people. The enemies of the workers are the capitalists of all countries. Among the Jews there are working people, and they form the majority. They are our brothers, who, like us, are oppressed by capital; they are our comrades in the struggle for socialism. ... The capitalists strive to sow and foment hatred between workers of different faiths, different nations and different races. ... Rich Jews, like rich Russians, and the rich in all countries, are in alliance to oppress, crush, rob, and disunite the workers. ... Shame on those who foment hatred towards the Jews, who foment hatred towards other nations.

    Tbh, the IPSC went a bit overboard here, it would be fair enough to contact the band and ask them not to perform because of the 'cultural boycott' (much good it'll do...) but after that the decision to go ahead or not is up to the band and nobody should feel the need to criticise them either way. It all sounds a little hysterical and does nothing to help the situation.

    Some sects have perpetrted most of the violence against members of their own sect and then scapegoat weaker smaller sects and then get into a hissy fit when they fight back.

    You see, in this Universe, "liberal democratic countries" who wish to be appreciated by the "trendy lefty" people have to avoid setting up colonies in areas outside their legally recognised borders and running those same areas like apartheid statelets. Yes, we are a fussy bunch, but there ye go.

    Any chance of you getting back to me on that 1st post of yours?

    Why is it that people insist on discrediting a valid argument as 'all liberal and trendy lefty'? It's more than a little short sighted.

    Jordan started a war with all its neighbours? No, you'd be wrong. Egypt, Jordan and Syria did attack Israel in 1948, if thats what you mean.

    Was there some point you were trying to make there...? Are you going to explain that 1st post of yours on this thread?

    The main issue today is regarding later developments. There are a number of territories that were seized in 1967 which are still under Israeli control. Since WWII, the acquisition of territory by main force is disallowed/illegal. Furthermore a state moving or facilitating the movement of it's citizens into an area outside its borders in the manner Israel has is also disallowed/illegal. Likewise the treatment of the Palestinian population by the occupying forces and settlers, allocation of resources and so on.

    Very fair as usual, Nodin. I like the way you put the weight of all the problems on one side of the ramp. "Just like in the real world".

    I'm sure the this cultural boycott is helping a lot to both sides. Especially to the Palestinian one. Now the Israelis and the Palestinians enjoy of some of the good Irish culture.. and the "message" that the IPSC is sending to the world is a message that is contributing to the Palestinians, and isn't showing Ireland's irrelevancy as a stabilizing factor in the Middle East. Ahhha

    The day Syria or Egypt - or even some future Palestinian state - are putting settlers into colonies outside and in Tel Aviv, call me. Till then its fairly clear who the F-16 flying nuclear powered aggressors are, and it sure as fuck isn't some shower of olive farmers in the West Bank.

    The day there will be no Palestinian terror and no threats for extermination, epically during peace talks, call me.

    Are you talking about Israel?

    The state that refuses to allow people who lived there, before they were ethnicly cleansed by Israeli terrorists, to return home to reclaim their propety.

    Yet Israel allows people of a certain religion from anywhere in the world to live in there.

    Not exactly democratic, is it? How liberal is their siege of Gaza? :rolleyes:

    ...so you support the settlements then. Good man, honesty is always the best policy. That "I don't support them but..." act was wearing thin, lets face it.

    "terror"? It's armed resistance to colonisation. Seeing as the peaceful route of the UN and sanctions have been blocked, its unfortunately the only avenue open to them. Bit much to be complaining about the end result of your states Foreign policy, tbh.

    When you say that, you probably also mean to the pre 1948 pogroms, and the 48 independence war.
    Also, you probably mean to the preaches at mosques that preach for Jews killing, and establishing Palestine from the Jordan river to the sea.
