davidylan: Major League slowpoke, what did they teach you in your stupid school? They didn't teach you to back your arguments? If it was on youtube why can't you post the link here? Can you see how low your IQ is? davidylan: Major League slowpoke, is Hamas recognised as a legitimate organisation by the UN, member of the UN or an organisation that should abide by the UN rules? So how can they be breaking UN conventions when they are not signatories of anything? Can you see how low your IQ is? davidylan: Major League slowpoke, every statement I have made (despite being an Israel supporter) has been subsequently made by highly reputable international organisations e.g. UN, Red Cross, Vatican, EU etc. Can you see how low your IQ is? davidylan: Major League slowpoke, how can you be comparing what people want to what they don't want when they have a right to reject it? Can you see how low your IQ is? davidylan: Major League slowpoke, these fools are just like you but on different sides of the fence. They morons who's minds are full of hate and their mouths full of conjecture. |

davidylan: Professional dimwit, so it is "irrelevant quote from the UN"? So you know better than the UN staff doing analysis and devising solutions in the region for decades? This is how someone can spot the assured confidence of ill-educated individual's bravado. You are right on one thing though: "No sane person on earth will challenge my claim". Yeah, instead of challenging you, they should get a stray-jacket and lock you up. 80% of Gazans live on FOOD aid and are below poverty line, and your daft self says "Gazans enjoy a living standard that is better than most Africans including Nigeria". What proportion of Nigerians live on food aid and what proportion are below the poverty line? Yeah, poverty is relative to each society, but the relativeness also measures the income-generation potential and basic needs. So if 80% are generating less than the minimum potential and can't meet their basic needs in life and have to depend on hands out, you think they have a fantastic life? Someone please get the stray-jacket for this cretin. davidylan: Professional dimwit, this is equivalent as saying someone earning £20K in London is better off than someone earning £12K in Sokoto. Moronic as you are not comparing cost of living (transport, gas/heating, labour, transport etc) for the respective region. More moronic when the head of UNRWA is saying living there is tough. Someone please get the stray-jacket for this cretin. davidylan: Professional dimwit, the UN has already confirmed that 257 children were among the 758 killed. I guess to you the UN are Arab slaves? Someone please get the stray-jacket for this cretin. davidylan: Professional dimwit, did your deceivers not say they have evidence of Hamas sending bomb from the UN compound, how come they have not released their evidence? When the spokesman for the Israeli President was grilled on channel 4, he could not confirm where they say the bomb coming from. He said it could have been inside the compound or somewhere in the vicinity of the compound (North, East, South or West). This is the same people that said they had evidence? Someone please get the stray-jacket for this cretin. davidylan: Professional dimwit, and your dimwitted self is the one that is objective? Someone please get the stray-jacket for this cretin. davidylan: Professional dimwit, how generous of the Israelis. I rob a bank of £20m and give £500K back, I guess I deserve a knighthood. Someone please get the stray-jacket for this cretin. |

kadman: Hi Kadman, I will be glad to help. Why don't you open a thread and notify me so I can respond? I think it will be better I respond for a wider audience (on a thread rather than personal email) as 1) You might get challenges to my statements that might be useful and 2) It saves me time as I don't have to repeat the same thing individually to someone else seeking similar info. Looking forward to your questions. |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by Nobody: 10:55pm On Jan 10, 2009 |
Sagamite . . . as usual avoids the issues to launch verbal qassam rockets . . . what do you expect from a drowning bat? He says since HAMAS is not a recognised UN entity we cannot expect it to abide by UN conventions . . . well that automatically means that Israel isnt breaking any rules since as far as the UN is concerned HAMAS does not exist. Geddit now? Absolutely not . . . shallow brains only think in one direction. |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by 4Play(m): 2:40am On Jan 11, 2009 |
Professional dimwit, so it is "irrelevant quote from the UN"? So you know better than the UN staff doing analysis and devising solutions in the region for decades? Idiot, it is absolutely irrelevant to the point you made: that the fact that Gaza has a budget 10 times Nigeria's per head can be explained away by simply asserting that budgets are projected expenditures not actual expenditure. Tell me you schmuck, how does the UN quote support that? This is how someone can spot the assured confidence of ill-educated individual's bravado.You are right on one thing though: "No sane person on earth will challenge my claim". Yeah, instead of challenging you, they should get a stray-jacket and lock you up. Unlettered fool, what is a ''stray-jacket''? 80% of Gazans live on FOOD aid and are below poverty line, and your daft self says "Gazans enjoy a living standard that is better than most Africans including Nigeria". What proportion of Nigerians live on food aid and what proportion are below the poverty line? What is this slowpoke yapping about? Take 2 persons: A & B. A sells little and survives on welfare to the tune of $300 per year. B doesn't get welfare but survives on selling palm oil to the tune of $30 a year. Who do you think is better off? Bloody idiot! Puddenhead,are Americans getting food stamps worse off than many Nigerians who have no Govt to aid them? The mere existence of aid in Gaza doesn't mean that living conditions are comparatively worse than Africa's. Professional dimwit, this is equivalent as saying someone earning £20K in London is better off than someone earning £12K in Sokoto. Moronic as you are not comparing cost of living (transport, gas/heating, labour, transport etc) for the respective region. More moronic when the head of UNRWA is saying living there is tough. Look at this self-contradicting befuddled Arrow. Earning £20k in London is not as impressive as earning £12k in Sokoto because having better standards of living in London comes with having higher cost of living. This unbridled mass of idiocy is tacitly acknowledging that living conditions are better in Gaza than in Africa. Forget about the consequences of the recent outbreak in violence; Gazans have greater access to regular electricity, pipe-borne water, health facilities, schooling, transportation infrastructure,e.t.c than most Nigerians and Africans can ever dream of. Why do you think their life expectancy(72) is much higher than Africa's(48)? Idiot, the sooner you get that into your head, the better. Again, this moronic ignoramus tells us that the UN says life is tough in Gaza. Nobody denies that, but only a slowpoke will try to claim that living standards have been higher for Africans than Gazans. . . the UN has never said that and telling us that the UN says life is tough is totally irrelevant, you obtuse fool. Professional dimwit, the UN has already confirmed that 257 children were among the 758 killed. I guess to you the UN are Arab slaves? Let's ignore that last time, the UN also said there was a massacre in Jenin. Idiot, there is a conflict between Israel and Gaza and the UN cites the 257 figure given by the Gaza health ministry run by Hamas, that is being a Dhimmi. With the head of the UNRWA's, Karen Abu-Zayd, reputation as an Arabized dhimmi, any idiot citing Hamas run ministries' figures as the gospel truth deserves to have his head examined. Professional dimwit, did your deceivers not say they have evidence of Hamas sending bomb from the UN compound, how come they have not released their evidence? Fact: The AP had Palestinians who confirmed that Hamas was shelling from within the school's vicinity. Is this Arrow claiming that Israel purposely attacked the school children? It's putrid idiots like you that promote the blood libel against Jews. Professional dimwit, and your dimwitted self is the one that is objective? You're allergic to objectivity. Here you are claiming that one of the most powerful militaries in the world is deliberately targeting civilians and you still have the nerve to talk of objectivity. . .what a libelous scum. Professional dimwit, how generous of the Israelis. Look at the self-defeating logic of this idiot. If you think taking Gaza by Israel in a conflict it was threatened with annihilation by its neighbors is tantamount to Israelis being robbers, you are obviously a bumpkin. The UNSC never demanded Israel return the land as a robber would be demanded restitution. Gaza was run by Egypt so Israel ''robbed'' Egypt, not Palestinians, so would have to return the land to Egypt using your crass analogy. In this case, Israel; unlike Egypt, Jordan, Turkey and Britain; is the only nation that ever gave that piece of land to Palestinians. For that reason, Israel has done something unprecedented.Learn this and stop being a ahistorical schmuck. |

@4Play Forget about the consequences of the recent outbreak in violence; Gazans have greater access to regular electricity, pipe-borne water, health facilities, schooling, transportation infrastructure,e.t.c I asked you politely the first time and am asking you again, if Gaza is such a paradise why don't you go there or send your brothers? |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by Nobody: 1:42am On Jan 12, 2009 |
sleek_p: and i also ask . . . if Israel is so bad why have over 1 million arab israelis refused to be a part of the budding palestinian state? |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by sleekp1: 1:12am On Jan 13, 2009 |
davidylan: Maybe don't know this but there are plenty Jews in the middle east who have not returned to Israel. I bet you didn't know this? |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by Nobody: 1:41am On Jan 13, 2009 |
sleek_p: we know . . . they all live like dhimmis. Besides what was the relevance of the above to the issue i raised? |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by sleekp1: 1:51am On Jan 13, 2009 |
davidylan: You said: if Israel is so bad why have over 1 million arab israelis refused to be a part of the budding palestinian state? I replied that there are many Jews in Arab countries who have not migrated to Israel. Which part of my answer do you want explaining in Yoruba language? |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by Nobody: 2:11am On Jan 13, 2009 |
sleek_p: Again i ask . . . in what way was that relevant to the issue? You said since 4 Play thinks Gaza is a paradise he shld consider going there . . . well i also said since Israel is such a bad place i wonder why 1 million arabs live there and are vehemently refusing to go join their fellow arabs in a proposed palestinian state. That jews live in other arab countries (as a tiny minority) makes no sense in the context of the discussion (if you paid any attention at all) . . . we know muslims are very ok with jews as long as they are dhimmis . . . seen but not heard. |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by sleekp1: 2:17am On Jan 13, 2009 |
@davidylan Am not going to bother explaining it again. You can try Yoruba on-line for a blow by blow explanation. Good night . |

ISREAL SOLDIERS DOCUMENT WAR CRIMES IN GAZA 4 Play and Davidylan are you going to admit you were chatting thrash now as the people you were blindly defending are now saying I am right? EVERYTHING I said is being corroborated by ISREALI SOLDIERS. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7952603.stm Israel troops admit Gaza abuses An Israeli military college has printed damning soldiers' accounts of the killing of civilians and vandalism during recent operations in Gaza. One account tells of a sniper killing a mother and children at close range whom troops had told to leave their home. Another speaker at the seminar described what he saw as the "cold blooded murder" of a Palestinian woman. The army has defended its conduct during the Gaza offensive but said it would investigate the testimonies. The Israeli army has said it will investigate the soldiers' accounts. The testimonies were published by the military academy at Oranim College. Graduates of the academy, who had served in Gaza, were speaking to new recruits at a seminar. "[The testimonies] conveyed an atmosphere in which one feels entitled to use unrestricted force against Palestinians," academy director Dany Zamir told public radio. Heavy civilian casualties during the three-week operation which ended in the blockaded coastal strip on 18 January provoked an international outcry. Correspondents say the testimonies undermine Israel's claims that troops took care to protect non-combatants and accusations ;Dthat Hamas militants were responsible for putting civilians into harm's way. 'Less important' The Palestinian woman and two of her children were allegedly shot after they misunderstood instructions about which way to walk having been ordered out of their home by troops. "The climate in general, I don't know how to describe it, the lives of Palestinians, let's say, are much, much less important than the lives of our soldiers," an infantry squad leader is quoted saying. In another cited case, a commander ordered troops to kill an elderly woman walking on a road, even though she was easily identifiable and clearly not a threat. Testimonies, which were given by combat pilots and infantry soldiers, also included allegations of unnecessary destruction of Palestinian property. "We would throw everything out of the windows to make room and order. Everything, Refrigerators, plates, furniture. The order was to throw all of the house's contents outside," a soldier said. One non-commissioned officer related at the seminar that an old woman crossing a main road was shot by soldiers. "I don't know whether she was suspicious, not suspicious, I don't know her story… I do know that my officer sent people to the roof in order to take her out… It was cold-blooded murder," he said. The transcript of the session for the college's Yitzhak Rabin pre-military course, which was held last month, appeared in a newsletter published by the academy. Israeli human rights groups have criticised the military for failing to properly investigate violations of the laws of war in Gaza despite plenty of evidence of possible war crimes. 'Moral army' The soldiers' testimonies also reportedly told of an unusually high intervention by military and non-military rabbis, who circulated pamphlets describing the war in religious terminology. Palestinian civilians paid a heavy price during the three-week Israeli operation "All the articles had one clear message," one soldier said. "We are the people of Israel, we arrived in the country almost by miracle, now we need to fight to uproot the gentiles who interfere with re-conquering the Holy Land." "Many soldiers' feelings were that this was a war of religion," he added. Defence Minister Ehud Barak told Israel Radio that the findings would be examined seriously ROFL. "I still say we have the most moral army in the world . Of course there may be exceptions but I have absolutely no doubt this will be inspected on a case-by-case basis," he said. Medical authorities say more than 1,300 Palestinians were killed during Israel's 22-day operation, including some 440 children, 110 women, and dozens of elderly people. The stated aim was to curb rocket and mortar fire by militants from Gaza. Thirteen Israelis, including three civilians were killed. |

Has Sagamite ever heard about "war" and collateral damage? Apparently no. |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by Sagamite(m): 12:44pm On Mar 28, 2009 |
Hmmm. Collateral damage is when you see people that are not a threat to you (including 4 year olds), don't have any power to fight back or influence anything and you shoot them down/drop phosphorous bombs on them and about another 10 people from their family or you mow down their homes to ensure they suffer. That is not terrorism. But when these poeple retaliate by blowing you up back, that one na terrorism. Obviously, we can't call that collateral damage. |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by oreshade(m): 2:20pm On Mar 28, 2009 |
@ dayokanu hey, do you know what it is to take a life, do you folks know what it is to bleed a soul, that means someone's father, mother, brother, sister or only son or daugther is dead, you dont talk about death with such levity like it were a trivial issue, imagine the sorrows and pains we feel when we see an accident occur on our major roads and blood spills on the road, even the sight of blood makes some nauseous and sick, in a war where over thousands have been brutally massacred do you know what gory sight exists, the spirally sticky brain dripping from the blood filled skull, the mutilated womb of a promising mother, the death of a mother caressing her daugther while one bullet pierces the hearts of both and both lie on each other mouth filled with dust under the scorching arabian soil, do you know the sight of a sliipery floor not of vomit or gloss but the heavy and thick smell of pool of blood from the body of inncent children, mothers and caring folks, do you know the sight of a war infested state where voices of girls and women screech the air, where sounds of rockets, missiles and bullets quakes the ear, where the calls of matyrs drowns in death and lifeless bodiies piles like hills on the street leaving the valleys of the dead for mourners to search and wail, think about the fact that those dead folks while they were alive eat, smiled, loved, gave alms and even had sex, now they are dead in thousands and the only thing you say is 'kudos' like they have won a gold medal at the olympics, I dont want to believe a man born of a woman could be that heartless, this is a clear massacre of the highest order and my soul bleeds, it bleeds not only because I sympathise but because I cant do anything to ease their pains, plights and penury, than just write and pray that one day a soul with a motive to change things will see it and make the changes, what a coward I have become, the sight I swear to you my brothers and sisters is real and bothering as it outweights the witty rhetorics and calculating though theoretical logic that etches in avalanche its unpurposeful face here, lets think of making change, |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by oreshade(m): 2:27pm On Mar 28, 2009 |
@ davidylan: referring to your post on January 13, Let me help, sleek p was of the view that if jews still live outside Israel then could it be said that the Iraeli's have a better life though some duress arabian souls live in Israeli thus the fact that arabians live there does not make it better, perhaps if all the jews were living there it could be said to be better, |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by dayokanu(m): 3:50am On Mar 29, 2009 |
Oreshade, I believe your narrative should be directed to blood thirsty suicide bombers, who attacked WTC, who blow up cafes in Tel Aviv, Hotels in Bali and Mumbai, Tubes in London and Trains in Madrid. Kill in Jos, Kano. Th ones who launch rockets at "GUILTY" civilians in Beersheba or those who launch Katyushas at civilians at Haifa or those who go to Athletes camp and massacred athletes at the Berlin Olympics. Ethnic cleansin in Darfur. etc The ones who kill in the name of Allah. The ones who shout death to Israel, Death to America would have a lot to learn from your narratiion |

Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by Nobody: 6:29pm On Jun 04, 2009 |
Frizy: 1. You cant keep living dishonestly forever . . . for instance the alleged flag flying there is NOT a "palestinian" flag but was FIRST designed by the Sharriff of Mecca in 1917 for the ARAB revolt against the Ottoman empire. That flag has nothing to do with Gaza or the WestBank. 2. Palestine is NOT an arab name and has absolutely no related history to arabs BUT Jews. |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by Frizy(m): 12:16pm On Jun 05, 2009 |
davidylan: That's their flag, it's either you accept it, or live in denial for all your life. |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by Nobody: 2:02pm On Jun 05, 2009 |
Frizy: I just gave you the history of the flag and the FACT that it was not "adopted" by the "palestinians" until 1988. You can as usual live with the usual dishonesty that is now par for the course with muslims who will deny reality to the last drop of their blood. It is no coincidence that the flag is (without the star) a CARBON COPY of the Jordanian flag. The Jordanian nation is ruled by the sons of the former Sharrif of Mecca who originally designed the flag. |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by Ikomi(m): 5:53pm On Jun 05, 2009 |
davidylan: Now you are making that word loose value. How in the world does your so called FACTS justify the moral fact that palestinians do not deserve there own state. Ehhhnnnnn Oga FACTS |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by Nobody: 6:57pm On Jun 05, 2009 |
Ikomi: Which FACTS are you arguing against? 1. That the current "palestinian" flag was actually the flag of the arab league designed in 1917 by the former Sharrif of Mecca whose sons took over the rule of Jordan? 2. That the present "palestinians" did NOT adopt said flag until 1988? 3. That the flag is a shameless copy of the Jordanian flag? 4. That when the PLO was formed in 1964 (3 yrs before any settlements) they ceded the west bank to Jordan? So which ones are you disputing? Or is it the fact that you really dont know anything? Or the fact that your question makes no sense because NO ONE but "palestinians" are the main roadblocks to their own statehood? Exactly which "facts" did you base your disgrace of a question? - The "fact" that when Israel promptly handed back the West bank and Gaza to the former owners they were soundly rejected? - The "fact" that Egypt got the sinai back over 50yrs ago? Just WHO are those denying the "palestinians" their own state? Like i always say . . . it is not by force to post in the politics section especially if you have the mental capacity of a 5yr old. |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by Ikomi(m): 7:21pm On Jun 05, 2009 |
davidylan: You are just one rambler, tell us how your facts justifies denying the Palestinians a state? That is all I ask and you keep blabbing facts. Okay am going to put you in a tough position since you have made up you mind to be an idiot. Give us a lecture how your facts justifies denying the Palestinians a state. Let me lead the way, cause the Palestinians are muslims, who would not know what to do with a state, and they had to wait till May 1964 in Jerusalem to form a representative body, and there flag consits a red color, which we all know is a crime, and above all they have fanatics which davidylan is not. With all this said, the Palestinians don't deserve a state. That is all I ask of you inglorious idiot. |
Re: Israel's War On Gaza. by Nobody: 7:43pm On Jun 05, 2009 |
Ikomi: More empty nonsense . . . what do the above mean? And you accused me of rambling? It would be a diservice to the english language to call the above tripe "rambling". 1. When the "palestinians" formed a body in 1964, what STATE WHERE THEY FIGHTING FOR? They NEVER fought the Jordanians for the West Bank in 1964, infact they OPENLY denied any sovereign rights to it. 2. FATAH was formed from Gaza[b] in 1956[/b], they NEVER once fought the Egyptians for Gaza. So EXACTLY WHICH state where they agitating for? The tiny patch of land on which Israel sat? 3. The alleged flag of "palestine" is a fraud. It was designed in 1917 by the former Shariff of Mecca . . . whose sons eventually took over ruling Jordan which is over 50% "palestinian". Shockingly, no one . . . not even clueless morons like you have EVER ONCE wondered why Meccans with no ties to Palestine are ruling Jordan (more than double the size of Israel) UNCHALLENGED. All we here from you idiots is that Israel is the problem? So what exactly has the color red, green or white to do with anything? Do you understand yourself at all? |
