You on the sherry?

Re: Palestine: Demolishing Khan al-Ahmar

Did I call you a keyboard warrior?
No .. I did not. Don't be so sensitive. I was not abusing you.

I meant a historical figure having to compete against the viewpoints of a modern armchair warrior at a keyboard .. whether that view agreed with his or not.
You usually like a witty turn of phrase, indeed often deliver one or two crackers here and there yourself.

Re: Palestine: Demolishing Khan al-Ahmar

It was a witty turn of phrase? Really?

Re: Palestine: Demolishing Khan al-Ahmar

No .. I only suck wine gums and then only for a treat instead of sucking my own toothless gums.

Strangely, I have an inkling that you're not really interested in a serious debate about Bedouins at all.

Re: Palestine: Demolishing Khan al-Ahmar

I will acknowledge that there is a world of difference between your level and mine.

Re: Palestine: Demolishing Khan al-Ahmar

You got that right, there is a Blue Peter Badge in the post, now if you want to talk about Israelis building on their own land then ok, I am assuming of course that they have planning permission?

Re: Palestine: Demolishing Khan al-Ahmar

Rehab ... I'm not bothering with you.
You like to joke on serious discussion threads which can be fun and a bit of a laugh, in small doses, but some of your posts rather give away the fact that you're really only intent on baiting and having a chuckle.

You continue to discuss Bedouins and Israelis.
I'll go read the jokes section instead where I know I'm supposed to laugh and it's supposed to be funny.

Re: Palestine: Demolishing Khan al-Ahmar

That’s a bit of cop out, attack the poster instead of attacking his posts.
I support the right of Israel to protect itself, it’s country and it’s citizens against countries whose sworn duty is the destruction of the Jewish State..the only Jewish State on the planet.

I support their right to exist..you support what? Their destruction? I remember an Austrian house painter tried that too.

Re: Palestine: Demolishing Khan al-Ahmar

Where was I attacking you? That's twice you've accused me now. You accused me of been at the sherry and I didn't take it as a personal attack. Just you been your usual jocular self.
You seem to have a problem with this and it seems to be your immediate knee jerk comeback.

To be precise I was pointing out I prefer serious discussion in serious discussion ... nothing more.
If I had meant to attack you personally there would be no doubt about it.

A genuine opinion ... at last. I agree with you. I too support Israels right to protect and defend itself against its enemies.
With one proviso ...
When Israel take any preemptive, aggressive or illegal action .. who protects those it is unfairly attacking or hounding off their land? They are not exempt from criticism.
Or is it simply a case of who strikes first wins ?

Now you're been silly. So I support their destruction do I?
Read what I post for a change instead of making incorrect assumptions and daft allegations.
I've heard of an Austrian house painter too ... he saw some land, fancied it as his own and sent his armies in to claim it.
If he's the same one you mean he was internationally reviled and a coalition of countries went to war with him
His name was not Netanyahu ... was it?
You picked a very poor example there in choosing a tyrant who was a law unto himself, who believed he was bettering his own country at cost to innocents who stood in his way.

Is what Israel doing now really that dissimilar to what the Austrian house painter wanted to achieve?

Re: Palestine: Demolishing Khan al-Ahmar

I won’t bother ripping apart bits of your response, I don’t have the time or inclination,

But I did read about the illegal occupation of Israeli land by your Beddo and also that they were living on a land fill and they had been offered a new and better location on which to live, but we mustn’t allow the facts to get in the way of a biased post.
