Yeah, Israel was definitely trying to help us when they bombed my home village,killing my relatives and friends.

Ofc, any criticism of Israel is antisemitic :rolleyes:

he is saying your racism is derived from the inconsistency in how you view syria's occupation of lebanon and israel's occupation - implying that it is because one is arab and the other is jewish that you view them differently.


but as this inconsistency can be explained by israel being directly responsible for the deaths of your family members (and syria not) then his point is evidently moot.

This.

I used to know a Lebanese kid when I was in Saudi Arabia and he stopped coming to school for quite a long time after visiting Lebanon and, when he came back, his father had to carry him on his shoulders for months because he couldn't walk. He'd told us that his mother had been killed by a direct hit from a rocket, which seemed pretty odd to me.

I didn't particularly like him and I was very sheltered from all the politics then, so I didn't make too much of this at the time but it was only later when I came back to the UK and started to get educated about these things that I made the link with the 2006 war between Israel and Lebanon and realised that it roughly coincided with his absence from school. It did make me appreciate, after a period of being very pro-Israel, that there are legitimate personal reasons why some people hate Israel, quite apart from anti-Semitism. :smile:

I told Hydeman that while I dislike the Syrian government, I have nothing against Syrian people.Likewise, I do not hate Israeli citizens or Jews, but rather the government.

Idk
Lebanon, the US, France and Cote d'ivoire all allow dual/multiple citizenship lol


Fair enough. :beard: Apparently all the countries whose citizenship laws I'm acquainted with either don't or have huge restrictions on the holding of dual citizenships.

I understand. My apologies for the confusion.


Cato is inclined to view things in a certain way (/through a certain lens), and is rather arrogant in his beliefs, but he's not an idiot - I'm sure he has come to realise that your posts are not indicative of racism and are the perfectly reasonable consequence of your experiences.

So much slang that I don't understand. O.O

'R' isn't (/wasn't) slang, dear child.


And not understanding 'g' renders my description of you as a g less believable. Good job, H.

Shame. It comes in handy when booking holidays, I can get into lots of countries without a visa :lol:

Is it meant to be 'gangsta?' :holmes: I remember somebody on my VMs once using it like that, I think.

Not to mention: you can vote for Senator Sanders (assuming you're 18). :puppyeyes:
ISIS is comprised largely of Arab Muslims they only have themselves to blame

This is why I say we shouldn't take a single damn migrant they should all be sent to places like Saudi Arabia

The people coming here have no genetic or cultural affiliation with Europe. They do not belong and will only be resented by many of the indigenous population.

I'm not sure if I can. I haven't been resident in the US(apart from the first few weeks of my life) so idk.
And Sanders? I'd definitely vote Trump if I could :wink:

Hmm, I don't know how residence affects voting rights in the U.S., to be honest. :s-smilie:
