Re: Kicking off in Israel

None of the liberals in the West call for the disbandment of Hamas and the return of the hostages. The war, the deaths and damage could have been over a long time ago. Right. Hamas would have turned over all the hostages and thrown down their weapons because "the liberals in the West called fo...

Re: Kicking off in Israel

Terrorism pays. Hamas carries out the largest massacre of Jews since the holocaust and Ireland rewards Hamas and Iran by recognising a Palestinian state. I'm fairly sure the reason Palestine is getting support for statehood now is because Israel is turning the place to dust. Not because of the atta...

I watched some of that and both teams tried hard, but were generally inaccurate.

The hardest part (besides Justin Marshal on comms) was the awful television coverage - hardly any replays and then usually of the wrong infringement that the ref blew up for. :crazy:
