Middle East Thread

[Jairzinho]

You've taken this absurd line before.

 

The left want nothing do with either the Israeli or the Saudi fascist regimes, and want us to impose sanctions on them (Corbyn even said as much a couple of days ago). I would happily see the UK do no business whatsoever with either country.

 

Protests against the latter rarely get coverage by the British mainstream media, but there are reasons why the BDS movement is more significant than any equivalent for Saudi Arabia. The first being that Israel pretends to be a nice liberal country, and therefore has higher standards to live up to. The second being what exactly can people boycott from Saudi Arabia? Oil? I'd actually be fine with boycotting oil from Saudi Arabia, even if it meant the price of petrol doubled and/or we had far fewer cars on the road. But it's not quite the same as boycotting Soda Stream, is it?

 

It's really fucking snide of you to essentially insinuate that people only boycott Israel because the majority of the Israeli population is Jewish. Snide, but not surprising. It's the same shit pulled by the right wing press. It's the left that is consistent in wanting nothing to do with that fucking appalling cunt country, Saudi Arabia. The left that points out the complete lack of coverage of what is going on in Yemen.

The Saudis have bombed a funeral in Yemen, killing 82 people and injuring 500 more.Appalled campaigners reacted to the massacre by demanding that we boycott Saudi goods and impose sanc.... oh, wait.

The Israeli government are cunts. The rulers of Saudi Arabia are cunts. Likewise the US and UK governments are run by cunts. There's no difference other than the one you are trying to create in your head. Hope that helps.

[SasaS]

Some cunts are bigger than others.

[dennis tooth]

Aye Id happily boycott Saudi Arabia goods an impose sanctions.

Sadly it's physically impossible.

Even by breahting this foul polluted air I'm consuming their products.

Wholesome stuff like nanosized prices of metal that penetrate the bloodstream and get into the brain where they cause alzeimers and fun stuff like that.

Go back akip.

We're probably the least cunty out of us, Saudi Arabia, Israel and the USA. That's something.

[dennis tooth]

Only cos of ww2 where the USA took our empire and made opportunity from Russia and Europe's ravaged bumholes and won the cold war. SA and Isreal being their tools to power its machine naturally.

Our willies shrunk that's all.

And now we hide behind the machine the bullies best nate.

Oh dear, a correct and reasoned response to the same old trite trolling.

 

Prepare yourself for a hefty bowl of word salad garnished with the usual helping of semantic sophistry.

[Jairzinho]

Nah, I'd have had the response by now. When he doesn't have one you get the neg instead.

True. The sly negs used to annoy me, but I've grown to accept them as badges of honour.

[Jairzinho]

Second only to a neg from Tony M, albeit for different reasons.

[Strontium]

Actually the admission that you apply different standards was enough for me. It's a refreshing change to see someone admit it. And it's pointless getting into a discussion about the specious reasoning you use to justify it.

[General Dryness]

We're probably the least cunty out of us, Saudi Arabia, Israel and the USA. That's something.

Akin to damning with faint praise.

 

Like saying The Yorkshire Ripper was the least mass murdery out of him, Richard Ramirez, Fred West and Harold Shipman.

It's cos we all hate Jews. Or something like that.

[Jairzinho]

Yes, that's the one. Got nothing to do with one being run essentially by a royal family of Wahhabi terrorists and the other being a democracy and one of the most advanced countries on the planet.

 

It's because they're Jews really. Similarly, Norman Finklestein and Mike Peled detest the Israeli government as well. Again, because JEWS.

 

Herp.

 

Derp.

You're a disgrace to your country.

I've said fuck all about the Isle of Man or New Zealand.

[Jairzinho]

Member of Mec Vannin?

[General Dryness]

Member of Mec Vannin?

 

Are you calling me a cunt?

[Jairzinho]

I'm not sure, to be honest.
