    Jerusalem capital of Israel

    He was in Israel in 1853. Additionally, Jews settled mostly in wastelands, ie. Tel Aviv, which many Palestinians believe to be occupied, when in reality it was uninhabited. Hardly an affront. Additionally, much of this Jewish land was bought from Arabs at over valued prices, clearly they did...

    Jerusalem capital of Israel

    That's simply incorrect. Jews have been targeted long before the occupation. 67 were massacred in Hebron in 1929. Karl Marx remarked "sedentary population numbers about 15,500 souls, of whom 4,000 are Mussulmans [Muslims] and 8,000 Jews... the Jews at Jerusalem are the constant objects of...

    I'm well aware, not too sure what the point is. I'm referring to where they live now.

    Why boycotting Israel matters

    You are aware an Israeli security guard was stabbed yesterday? Not a Palestinian, an Israeli, there's very clear security footage. And to call Israel apartheid is the epitome of ignorance. Out of interest in apartheid South Africa how many black judges were on a supreme court than sentenced a...

    Why boycotting Israel matters

    1967 is a long time ago and Israel did not have such an arsenal, and even if they did, they won a war against states pushing genocidal agendas, far from a terrible thing. And I do agree with you, Israel are not threatened by these states who have issues of far greater importance. Today...

    Why boycotting Israel matters

    And yet he still broke the treaty in no unequivocal fashion. Egypt, Syria and Jordan were all prepared to attack. It's no secret they loath Israel and would have taken it off the map without any qualms. Self preservation doesn't allow Israel to have the luxury to stand down when such a treaty is...

    Jerusalem capital of Israel

    That's correct, however, again a very small sect. The overwhelming majority of whom reside in Israel, ironic, their home is the very place they don't want to be established. As much as you want to argue that it's a non valid argument. One well known rabbi proclaimed that and his supporters...

    Jerusalem capital of Israel

    That's factually incorrect. The establishment of the state was never considered sacrilegious, rather the irreligious practices of the state was. Even so, a small sect considered it sacrilegious, a sect which is considered by mainstream Jews as an abomination. Israel is by no means sacrilegious...

    Why boycotting Israel matters

    Whilst historically correct, be under no illusions, Israel would not exist if they didn't make a pre-emptive attack. There was no room in the equation for waiting and not taking initiative, Israel faced a dire and existential threat and acted.

    Why boycotting Israel matters

    A baseless and disgusting thing to say, such a statement is synonymous with NAZI vile. In the second world war were the 5 star hotels in the ghettos? Jewish leaders making a fortune through the oppression of their people- Lol sorry forgot about the rothschilds, I take that you'd believe such...

    Jerusalem capital of Israel

    Who's to say there wasn't an agreement made that we aren't privy to? Nothing comes for free, and this certainly doesn't. Whilst Trumps policies are quite often baffling, this is shrewd move, he now is now owed significant good will by Israel and will be using that to his advantage when he desires

    Why boycotting Israel matters

    To think that moving the embassy didn't come at a price. I'd be quite confident in saying that Trump moving the embassy was predicated on a deal made with Bibi prior. For example, reduced building in Judea and Samaria. If anything, the opposite applies, Israel now owe significant good will to...

    Why boycotting Israel matters

    Stole the land? I think you mean Israel was under attack and won the war. The general practice there is for a country to seize the land. Out of interest, how many countries give back land for peace to an enemy whose ideals make them an existential threat at the time. Setting that precedent...

    He's 68 kg's, hardly a strong or imposing figure at AFL level.

    2017 Draft thread

    I struggle to see the appeal in taking both Fogarty and Bailey with 15 and 18. A pure and bigger midfielder would be more to our needs, leaves us lacking from this draft when that's our biggest need is a strong bodied midfielder

    Offered little at senior level and has not made any major improvements, unlikely to get a contract. Better off putting development into new players

    Harsh on Scrimshaw. I wrote earlier about knowing someone who plays for sandringham dragons, he said Scrimshaw is probably their best player along with McGrath and Setterfield, rates Scrimshaw and Setterfield higher than McGrath. Reckons his lack of exposure due to injuries hurt him, but reckons...

    Matt Eagles 12:49 for 3km, would've thought he'd come in better shape than that. Looking at his instagram, he's quite into his weight lifting, will have to balance it out now so he can improve his aerobic capacity.

    It wasn't just that for him. Was quite emphatic in saying Brodie was just a classier player.

    2016 Draft discussion

    Spoke to someone who played on both Ainsworth and Brodie this year in TAC Cup. He tagged Brodie and got towelled up and said he was considerably better than Ainsworth. Interesting that he found that, although he can match Ainsworth's speed quite nicely so maybe found him easier because of that...

    And what's pick 3? Fair chance we'd be taking Ainsworth either way if we were happy to make that trade.

    You can't be serious? Very valuable picks, if used shrewdly, particularly is a draft which Schwab said was very even between 5-20.
