The Official Nonsense Thread

[Minty]

I checked the BBC news and no reports of disasters I noted.

Had an interview today & one to come on Friday. Sorry about the silence but had to prepare. I was also watching the TV debate on independence last night between Alex "Soapy" Salmond & Alistair "Sick Boy" Darling, & feel like sueing for those lost hours of my life.

Ended up flicking between it & the footie it got so bad, right on time to see the obligatory "Rangers aren't doing well, referee gives them a penalty/sends off a key opposition player" moment. After all which happened two years back, Scottish football is still bent as a cork.

As to the Gaza business, I feel for the kids, but what chance do they have with such lunatic parents? There was a news report with some 5 yr old in hospital & while he's lying there dazed with lots of tubes sticking out of him, his mother was ranting to the camera it didn't matter how many of her children they killed because she would have even more & bring them up to fight the Zionist oppressors. Like wtf?

There was another guy all smiles as he showed a reporter around his now alfresco flat minus two outside walls, coming out with the same crap. What did he had to smile about? That the Israelis were getting bad publicity from all this? Did it ever enter his tiny mind that they've got to the stage they no longer care less what the rest of the world thinks?

I found whatever sympathy I had a touch compromised, to say nothing of the apparantly flat broke Palestinians still having the money somehow to buy rockets to fire at Israel without warning from the back of pick up trucks for laughs - which is what started the current fistfight in the first place.

It's ironic that last year I chucked out 2 members who had been claiming on an outside blog site that I was anti-semitic (neither of whom are welcome back & can expect a punch in the face if I ever meet them in person - yes I AM still that angry about it), since I'm someone that's always backed Israel's right to exist primarily out of having little illusions that too many of their neighbours would happily slaughter every Jew in as painful a manner as possible given the half-chance, & at least a Jewish state of some kind makes anti-Semites out there think twice after over 2000 years of Jews getting treated like crap simply because they were so easy to bully.

You really would think they'd all have got tired of it by now. A fifth of Israel's population is Arabic, & if they can live & work together with Jews, why can't others? It's too small an area of the world to hold so much hate between people that ultimately are all Arabs anyway, no matter what god they follow.
