Mavo, leave Europe, see the coverage then.
Sure we might see images of wounded or dead Palestinians here too, but its the way its presented in the nightly news, together with the poor Jews who everyone is out to get.


Georgios, I think its you who doesn't see the picture from both sides.
You keep saying I don't see the Israeli side, when in actual fact I do. Obviously they need to defend them selves, I never denied that, did I? But blowing up entire apartment blocks, to kill one terrorist, and in the process killing and injuring dozens of civilians, is defending your self is it? Its out right murder and indiscriminate killing.

IDF actions are no better then Hamas or anyone else involved.


But you guys seem to think, or at least the impression you're giving, that Israel is justified in whatever it does in response.

Be that annexing more land from Gaza and the West Bank, expanding or building new settlements in Gaza or the West Bank, blocking supplies from reaching the PEOPLE of Palestine, building walls through peoples backyards, and so on and so forth.


Here take a look at some maps, tell me how you would like it if you were forced to live under occupation in Greece, had your movement restricted even for medical care(women have had to actually give birth at checkpoints because the IDF would not let them go through to reach hospital, even though they are in labour).......oh wait, wasn't Greece occupied by the Ottoman Turks for nearly 400 years? Wasn't Greece occupied during WW2 by the Axis?

Me and you Giorgo might not have lived through it, but even though I live on the other side of the world, born outside of Greece, and with my limited Greek language skills, seem to better understand. Maybe its the old school mentality we are supposed to have over here, maybe that's also why we seem to be more active in defending Greece's national issues then Greeks back home.

Israeli settlements in Gaza, Palestine

Take a look at how much land Israeli will annex when the wall is complete. Is this fair fellas? What if Turkey occupied Greece, and built a wall to annex most of Greece except a few regions were you cant grow crops?

Take a look at the West Bank settlements and occupation now.

How do you think Israelis travel between those settlements in the middle of the West Bank, Palestine, and Israel? There is a military occupation of the West Bank, with IDF checkpoints and road blocks in place. We are not talking about inside Israel here, but inside Palestine.


Are these the conditions under which a settlement is meant to be reached?



I obviously can sympathise with the suffering of the Jewish people throughout their history, but that sympathy evaporates when I see what they are doing to innocent Palestinian people, without a care in the world, and then try and justify it as defence.

Defending you're self does not involve killing innocent families sleeping in their beds.


We all agree on what Hamas and other Palestinian terrorists are, and what they are doing is wrong.

Yet why can't you see what the IDF is doing, killing innocent people, seizing more and more land, demolishing innocent peoples homes and crops to make way for new settlements, and making living conditions for ordinary Palestinians unbearable, is just as wrong?

What does prefering Palaistine over Israel have to do with being a good Greek.
I think you are taking this bit a little too far mate.

Thats utter bullshit.

The Palaistinians are another backward idiotic Muslim Fundamentalist country. While the Israelis are a proud nation which lived in the levant region oppressed and hunted for millenia. Israelis are clever, progressive and reliable.

Why should I prefer a bunch of stupid mehmets over them?

careful Giorgi thats being Racist....

you will be labeled anti Islamic and anti Arabic......

you know what Yiorgaki? an opinion from a butter boy like you means little to me greekturkish/laugh.gif

Arab nations have had good relations with Greece...these same so called backward Islamic nations have supported Greece and had good relations with us from day one...

tell me what has Israel done for us?...

and no offense, re.....if you can see those pics of kids being terrorized by Israeli soldiers and still spout that utter anti Islam and anti Arab crap....well no offense, well your a few sandwiches short of a picnic...

Dude, Palaistine is oppressed for what? 40 years?


oh so what now? we have degrees of oppression and suffering?...

tell me Giorgi? does suffering and oppression hurt more if it has gone on for longer? if you can find degrees in suffering and oppression, bully for you butter boy....to me suffering is suffering....

and hypocrasy is hypocrasy...you cant be a little bit or a touch more...hypocrasy in crying of holocaust and antisemitism and then oppressing a whole race...

and no amount of suffering of the jews gives them the right to do the same to another race....the Palestinians have always been in Palestine.....they did not destroy the temple, they did not oppress the jews all around the world .....so what has that got to do with it?...

so nice try yiorgaki mou....but your logic doesnt wash.... greekturkish/tiphat.gif

@Zeus.

Look the bigger picture.

And ask yourself. Which one do you prefer.

The Israelis, who are prosperous, clever, have a huge history and are one of the worlds great civilizations?

Or the

Palaistinians, who in their significant part are Muslim Fundamentalists, backward and represent the same civilization like the rest of their Muslim neithbours.

Its just plain and simple the Israelis are of higher value to the world as a civilization, as a people, as an economy, as everything one can think of.

Israel is like Greece, a country that stands alone, unique, unreplacable, and with a huge historical heritage.

And thats why the world shouldnt miss it and should protect it.

huge history how? greekturkish/laugh.gif


your not going to quote the old -*test*-('")ament are you? or base this on judao christian religion?


man they were not Rome, Persia, Egypt, Greece, Babylonia, China etc etc etc....the sole claim to fame is the old and new -*test*-('")ament....religion...and that is all...

higher value? does that include as human being as well Yiorgouli mou? so their expendable, how about we gas them then?...shit their second class= sub human = disposable....since their also arab islamic scum.... greekturkish/laugh.gif


i never thought i would hear such a line of reasoning from an Israeli apologist.... greekturkish/laugh.gif

I never said I, or you should, prefer one over the other.

Nothing to do with being a good or bad Greek either.


We have suffered like the Palestinians are today too, haven't we? Wasn't our country occupied against our will, weren't we treated like shit in our own country, weren't our homes and land taken from us for someone else's benefit, weren't we terrorised and killed?

Do you see what happened to Greeks from Asia Minor to Pontos to the Greek mainland, to Constantinople, to Cyprus a few decades ago, as wrong? Why not the Palestinians then?

Didn't we kill Ottomans when we revolted?
Or was our struggle for our freedom somehow more noble then anyone else's?



What's stopping Israel from completely disengaging it self from the West Bank and Gaza? Other then its blood thirsty greed for more land.

Dude... Jews have suffered more than any nation in the world. Greeks had a long period of glory days where we kicked ass and chewed bubble gum. The Jews had nothing of the sort. Just a sour buttkick by every nation in the world for about 2+ millenia.

You already know the answer to this one. Israelis want the Palaistinians out plain and simple. And they wont relax untill they are out or dead.

Considering how much power Israel has in its hands, the quicker the Palaistinians leave Gaza, the fewer casualties there will be over time.


I like Israel because its a unique country and culture much like Greece. Would never swap them for the palaistinians.

Careful there Gergio, some might label you an anti-semetic nazi pig greekturkish/sneaky.gif


You mention they have suffered more then anyone else. Does that make their suffering more important or of more significance then our or anyone else's suffering?

Ultimately it does mate

Zeus- 04-12-2008
So the tens of hundreds of thousands of refugees from Asia Minor and Pontos, their suffering is not as important as the Jews suffering?

The million people killed in Rwanda, is less significant then anything the Jews went through?

The tens of millions who died in WW2, who were not Jews, weren't as important as the 6 million Jews who died?

The massacre of 8,000 men and boys in Srebenica or the thousands of Kurds gassed by Saddam, is less significant then Jews being killed?

Or the Pontian, Armenian, Assyrian, and Kurdish genocides, are less significant/important then the Holocaust?

Don't be silly re. We are all humans.

Thessaloniki was for hundreds of years a multi cultural city..more jews,slavs and turks/muslims than greeks.
But we greeks took it back..cause thessaloniki was our town for the biggest part of known history..no?

By your logic dear Zeus/Deman the jews have every right to throw the arabs out of jerusalem and their holy lands which were their own for almost 2000 years and long time before the muslim religion even appeared..like we did with the slavs,jews and muslims from thessaloniki..no minarets,no jewish holy places anymore in thessaloniki todays..correct me if I am wrong.. greekturkish/hmmm.gif

the jews never had a racial historical claim to thessaloniki Mavro and you know that....its no where near the same thing....clever example though.....

there were Greeks in Thessaloniki from ancient days till today, that for periods they may have been a slight minority has nothing to do with it....


Palestine has always had Jews and Palestinians, the issue i have is that the jews have shit over the Palestinians rights for over 4 decades now...no one ever said the jews dont also have rights.....


@ Zeus

is it me or does it seem to you no matter what we say, certain people here have their preconceived notions and will simply not listen to us or take the time to consider our position?....

You don´t get what I want to say..
The jews were also in jerusalem from the very ancient days..while the palestinians were not..the jews were there 2000 years before the muslim religion even starts to exist.
And the greeks were also a minority for hundreds of years in thessaloniki..not only cause of the jews but more cause of the majority of turks and slavs.

And the latter untill today have claims for thessaloniki,no?
greekturkish/bluebiggrin.gif

So by your logic these guys have some legal claims on our lands...how do you like this thesis?
greekturkish/wink kiss.gif

Zeus- 04-13-2008
And you along with others, obviously don't get what we are trying to say.

There was meant to be a Jewish state and Palestinian state. The Arabs attacked Israel blah blah, unimportant here.
But the borders were defined by the UN correct? For two states. So why is it Israel continues to annex land allocated for a Palestinian homeland?

They got their own state, Israel, so why are they now stealing land from the Palestinians, while at the same time oppressing them and making daily life a living hell?

Mavro, you're comparison between Greece and its neighbours and Israel, is not a valid one.
Greece is not oppressing any minority within or outside it's borders, nor is it annexing land and building settlements outside its borders, and then building security walls through another peoples land, nor is Greece facing terrorism and constant barrages of rockets.

And nobody said the Palestinians have any claim to Israel.

Mavrogenides- 04-13-2008
Zeus..we(as any other european nation and not only) did the exact same thing.

After we re-took our lands we chased away the albos,slavs,turks,jews who lived there for centuries..we killed them,we massacred them,we took their homes and destroyed most of their mosques,buildings etc..no reason to play the saints..in the end our place is the balkans..

The same can be said for the middle east,even worse.

The jews came back to their holy lands,the lands in which their ancestors lived since known history,long time before any muslim ever touched these place..the arabs(all of them!) mobilized all their forces..they attacked the young tiny israel with thousands and thousands of fighter planes,tanks and artillery.....and lost!


QUOTE

Yes,I know that you would have given a shit about if hundreds thousands of jews-children,women,old people- would have been killed again a few years after the holocaust..no news here.


QUOTE

No..they took their own state againt all odds..big difference here.

Zeus..we took our lands back and the whole world recognised these lands as " naturally greek"..
Our forefathers died in these wars and no greek would ever doubt that we were right.


The jews did even more..they returned to their lands...in the beginning they just asked for some lands to be returned to them.
They wanted their holiest place like any other religion already has.
The muslims have Mekka,we have our holy places.Only the jews don´t have it untill yet.The muslims don´t let them.
The brits,the arabs,the soviet union..all of these wanted to destroy even the very first very small and tiny israel nation.
After that the jews started their fight..and did the same crimes and monstrous things which every nation does in war.

Today the whole thing is fucked up.
No right or wrong anymore..just two majorities of fanatics on both sides which will kill each other without any hesitation.

And if we agree...you should have started this thread with all the mad pictures from BOTH!! sides.
Instead this you took only the jewish side to blame and after this youi came with the same boring ad (as prooven) false arguements of "jewish media control" and all the shit we hear daily from the anti semits.

As for the "we greeks never annexed" etc stuff..we did not need to annexe anything..these lands-our lands-were greek already.
Like germany belongs to the germanos and the british isles to the brits etc..why dont have the jews the same right as we have?
