Israel play cricket at military base (updated)

I've been informed that Israel's 5-8th place semi-final has gone ahead today. This time it's not just behind closed doors, but at RAF Lossiemouth.

So yet again, our military bases are being used to help Israel.

The point cannot be lost though, that extreme lengths had to be gone to in order to accomodate Israel. By way of illustration, click on the map below for how far they had to travel in order to play because of the protests. It's in Scotland, but only just.

For background go here and here

There is a considerable bias in this web site. We are talking here about cricket and that is not a political issue. Why does your anti semitism go beyond politics and into sport? And why should Israel not play cricket? And the idea of "our military bases being used to help Israel" is a peculiar one. First of all you are not natives to the country and the question of "our" does not arise. And secondly the support of Israel has the support of the majority of Scots. That is why the bases are used.

[Osama]

Not my bases? I pay my taxes. Are you saying taxation without representation?

Israel supported by majority of Scots? I didn't see anyone out there showing them support. I did though see a lot of people against them.

Anti-semitism? There were Muslims playing for the Israeli team. For the umpteenth time, this is not about religion. It's about war and occupation and the religion of the offenders is immaterial.

No, he's saying "I want an all-white Scotland"...

Just to let you know Rolled-up Trews,
that you've been given a mention at The Herald's website re the great Tommy Sheirdan

http://www.theherald.co.uk/features/67440.html

I just thought you might like to know that

All the best!

PS
Osama is as native to bonnie Scotland as anyone one else here, you neo-nazi scuzzo.

I particularly don't appreciate it when the likes of the BBC Scotland, for instance, refer to Scots as 'Asian' just because them or their ancestors are from that great continent. It's fine by me if people wish to be known as 'Asian' rather than 'Scottish', or both - that's their choice and who am I to argue, it's a free country.

But to use some blanket term, to describe other Scots, should be a decision left up to those to whom the term is being I applied, and not a gang of ideological fanatics luike the BBC.

As far as I am concerned, and a lot of other fellow Scots (including Osama I would imagine), anyone living in Scotland is Scottish unless they say different.

Of course hat's one of the roles of the BBC is to play differneces in ethnic background race etc and mention next to nothing about class or their roles as right-wing class warriors themselves.

No anyone who lives in Scotland is not Scots. Just as anyone who lives in Japan is not Japanese. Being born and raised in a stable does not make one a horse. Scots are a people with a distinct culture and clan structure and aliens are not part of that regardless of whether they live there. I guess Joe is an Irish Catholic immigrant. And Osama is an Asian Moslem who happens to live in Scotland. He is living in a country and among a culture which he did not create and with which he has no connection and actually wants to destroy by seeking to impose Moslem schools and mosques on a Christian nation. He is abusing democracy to try to Islamicise the country. If he wants to become Scots, stop trying to force Third World culture on the country.

[thabet]

I see Nazi Naveen is trolling once again.

[joe90]

This is getting tedious -

Thanks for letting me know that thabet!

Very much appreciated mate - as if it isn't its perfectly obvious.

No naveen, I'm Scottish but beaurocratically speaking, I'm British -
- although I'm not sure whether I can call myself a 'citizen' yet, as this is only the 21st century after all, and I'm still classed officially as a 'subject' of Her Brittanic Majesty -
- so much for modern democracy!

[George Carty]

Yes, the Japanese are probably the most race-conscious people on Earth. The only immigrants they can stomach are Japanese-Brazilians, and even them only barely.

[naveen]

And look at the success of Japan!!!.On every score it is ahead of Britain- larger economy, higher savings, lower debt, higher number of new patent registrations, greater innovativeness in business, higher level of technology, less crime and safe cities, the world'd best car manufacturing industry.

Racially homogenous countries are more stable.

[joe90]

Really
'racially homogenised countries are more stable'
- that will account for the fact Imperial Japan invaded Machuria and carried out a bloodbath - attacked the US and got the only 2 atom bombs used in anger dropped on its head, not to mention daylight 1,000 bombers raids destroying 250,000 Japanese and most of Tokyo etc etc
- or the Third Reich which was totally flattened by the Allies

Yes, very stable indeedy!

These are just two examples of consciously 'racially homogenised countries' to think about - unfortunately for our resident Superman naveen, these are examples from the real world outside the little bubble they inhabit -

And if naveen is an example of what a racially sterile culture and community looks like then I think they are the best argument I can think of that contradicts what they are saying -
ie superfluous, idiotic, probably in-bred village idiot -

- its quite an image thinking about an army of naveens, following their orders, and on the march towards their historical destiny, straight over the nearest cliff!

[naveen]

Homogenous countries are not sterile and Japan and Germany are very successful.
The problem in the UK is Third World immigration which is bringing untold disasters on the country. Even today the Moslems have disrupted all air ports and travel.Is this happening in Germany or Japan???

[naveen is a tube]

Yes Germany, that country with their perfect history... Do you even know that there are lots of Turkish and Polish there? And if you look at the German national team you'll see David Odonkor and Gerald Asamoah... They're proper blue eyed and blonde haired. Not!

[joe90]

Pastuerised then, just like your mind -

Success eh!
I am sure they're over the moon with the success of their state-corporate planning of their post-war economies (yawn!) - its very impressive - the fact they can build lots of cars and portable radios and cd players - where would we ever be without them, I can only wonder!

I can tell you are a very deep person naveen to be impressed by all this consumer crap, trinkets and junk that's going to get tossed on the scrapheap next day.

Obviously, just like The Third Reich, you know what priorities are important in this world - racially sterilised robotic societies churning out tomorrow's rubbish - no wonder a mind like yours is so taken with this fascist image.

Disruption at airports ! Such touching concern for air travellers - but I have to disagree with you because its the Butcher of Baghdad, Tony Blair, who is ultimatelt responsible for wreaking all this havoc - these are just symptoms. Is Germany or Japan butchering people in Iraq?

Much like you are just a symptom of western racism, then this security palaver is just a symptom of the sick racist fundamentalist western jihadis who run western governments.

[joe90]

Oh,
Hitler and Himmler were the archetypal images of their mythical imaginary six-foot blonde-haired blue-eyed Nordic-Tuetonic Superman, don't you know -

ie short, hairy, ugly, specky (Hitler wore specks as well its just he din't like to be seen or photographed in them)

All the best 'naveen is a tube'!

[Naveen is Nick Griffin in disguise]

I don't think you really can call Scotland a christian country anymore, its more secular. The churches are getting emptier, and people who are religious christians often get teased (by the locals, if you've ever gone out naveen you would have seen that). And so what if Scotland used to be christian, it was pagan before that and many Scottish traditions (especially at new year) are pagan traditions! And finally, Naveen is an Indian name! GIRUY naveen you fraud!

[Osama]

Naveen's point brings to mind my recent encounters with cousins of mine from Pakistan. They're the same age, but we have nothing in common, nothing to talk about. I have far more in common with other Scots folk. I'm a real fish out of water with Pakistanis.

The position of Naveen and others to insist we're Asians is just because they disagree with our politics. Much easier to say you're a bunch of foreigners than have a proper debate.

[naveen]

Dear Osama,
I was interested to hear that you found that you have nothing in common with your cousins and nothing to talk about with them.

Now I must say that when one travels around the world and meets people of the same age, provided there is a common language, one can always find things to say.With the internet, so many films,facts and fashions are known internationally. If one has nothing to say then I would think that it is because you don't like the cousins or you don't like what they represent.

Having found that you don't like something about these relatives, why do you seek to produce clones of people you don't like by creating Moslem schools in the UK? After all you are trying to distance your self from the cousins because you find them alien or strange or just plain boring.Moslem schools will produce pupils, just like the cousins, whom you will also dislike and find strange.

In essence you are trying to recreate a people in the UK who resemble Pakistanis when you have already rejected these types of people as "having nothing in common".

Why don't you become a Christian and integrate or a Hindu and integrate with India instead of representing a group of people whom you have already decided that you don't like and with whom you have nothing in common?

[joe90]

"We are the Borg - resistence is futile - prepare to be assimilated!"

[naveen]

enlighten me ... what is the borg??
If you think non Moslems will be integrated with you Moslems you are dreaming. You have collectively become the enemies within from India to Europe and the USA. You are not going to survive long in your adopted lands.

[joe90]

"what is the borg?"

- you don't know that, and you claim to be from a higher civilisation as well naveen, which is depressing enough -

It's a homogenised monoculture of robotic non-entities whose only purpose is to make a fool of themselves in public, known to outsiders as 'The Fourth Reich'- if that doesn't sound familiar naveen, then I'm afraid there really is no hope for you mate - you've already been assimilated.
