    • I am sorry for the OP that someone has insulted his/her country. Taking a wider view every country no doubt does have its 'shitholes' sadly the world is not perfect.

      As for the accusation of supporting Hamas whilst that does not really have a place on this forum, from someone old enough to remember the 1967 war, given the consistent attitudes of successive Israeli governments to Palestinians, I am not sure there is any need to excuse anybody from supporting who they want. Human beings can only take oppression for so long. The current residents of Gaza have shown immense fortitude under the most terrible of suffering.

      I agree with this
      My favorite saying is this one quote that I heard one day.
      All good things must come to an end
      That doesn’t mean all bad things must continue though

      Have a nice day!

      I made a comment saying I like war bonds and then someone else comes and says they make gold use more often. Then they called my country, Jordan, a shithole and accused me of supporting hamas.
      THEY SAID WHAT ABOUT MY HOMELAND? I know it’s not wise but I must know who it was…

      I support naming and shaming is some instances.

    • So you think it is ok to slag someone's country off or accuse them of belonging to a terrorist organisation (freedom fighter organisation). Well I dont. Perhaps you'd like to live in Gaza for a month then come back and tell us all about it eh?

      I dont know the OP from Adam but I suspect there are more arsehole Yanks on here than Jordanians. Give the guy some respect.

      So supporting terrorist groups is okay as long as they’re fighting against “oppression”. Okay.

      Lets not get political. This thread (Better say the entire site) isn't meant for hamas-israel debate. The behavior which the OP faced isn't appropriate.

    • FAO Mr Bosley. Not sure how good you are at history but just about everyone 'representing' so called oppressed people who take up arms is either a terrorist or freedom fighter.

      Menachim Begin was part of a terrorist group in Israel that killed British servicemen, went on to be an Israeli PM
      Nelson Mandela was leader of a terrorist group that murdered civilians in South Africa, went on to be President
      Martin McGuinness was an IRA terrorist that killed civilians in Northern Ireland, went on to be Deputy First Minister.

      Yet history might/did see these people as 'freedom fighters'.

      Perhaps we could include Mr Sanwar of Hamas. Who knows.

      Just depends upon whose glasses you are seeing through, not really an Israel-Hamas thing just facts.

      At the moment in Gaza the kill rate is about 40:1 Exceeding Waffen SS proportions who usually left it at 10:1 Oh the irony.
    • This is a place to come, have fun and forget about life for a while.

      If you want to hate, be hateful or fight war for real...there are a number of places in the world where you can go do that. Please, pack a bag and be on your way to the one of your choosing.

      Have a nice day.

    • Why is it that it is generally germans (or related people) who turn out to be xenophobic? First TMC and now Eich Pfennig..... "Once a Nazi always a Nazi", is that actually true??

      Freedom fighters are groups that use ethical means (ex. peaceful protest, civil disobedience, non-aggressive conflict) to achieve their goals. I highly doubt that Hamas and its affiliates fall into that category.

      About that causality ratio you posted... I wonder how many of those Palestinians died because of Hamas-initiated policy?
