| Well we are only allowed to talk about stupid stuff on here, like telling jokes that degrade women or asking how to get hold of a plumber... There is no democracy on this BB at all... This is the second serious subject to have been closed down that I started...what a joke! |

| DC4..If you were to stop all your insults to other posters you might have a little more success.Peopleare allowed there point of view but you seem to think every body should agree with your points of view,and if we dont weare called various names from idiots to un educated morons. then when you are loosing the argument we start to to get the behaviour of some spoilt child throwing a tantrum. try behaving in an adult manner and people will treat you as an adult... |

| DC4 Why dont you give up, it would seem you are deliberately trying to provoke people with your emotive threads (ie: Madeline McCann, Kar, Israel). Everyone is entitled to their own point view, but sometimes best kept to themselves. |

| UDHR Article 19. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. Dee, you have every right to an opinion and freedom of expresion (removed by Simbas) as do all others, but by being 'person specific' it becomes 'personal' insults, though I have to say nothing you said would upset me, I guess it's just a question of personal proportionality. Everyone reacts differently to certain (and different) things, i.e. people thought they were insulted, Simbas (rightly or wrongly) thought the thread should be stopped, at the end of the day people can only make the judgement they see appropriate with the information or knowledge available at the time. Better to stick to insulting everyone collectively I think, but if you need to vent, aim it at me as I assure you I am beyond insult. Keep posting Brian |

| I must say that this one of the more "placid" forums I have visited, and I was very surprised that some of the threads regarding Israel have been closed!! Amongst so many differing views, by our very own "human" nature, sometimes personal things are said in the heat of the moment. I think some here are just a little over-sensitive? After all, when one starts name calling surely their argument is then lost anyway? And for everyone else, a lively and passionate discussion closed to one and all!! A quote, attributed to Voltaire sums it up: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" And the answer? Just show a little respect to one another!!! |

| Karakum of course I am taking it seriously, the deaths of thousands of innocent muslims by a warmongering nation is IMHO extremely serious, altho I seem to be in the minority with my views...I trust all who support the Israeli's in their vengeance against the muslims of Palestine and the Lebanon and anyone else who attempts to prevent them from dominance will sleep with an easy conscience when innocent babies are dying while I type!!!! Thanks to Brian and joandjelly for your support..bye now. |

| Dee....this is obviously a subject you feel very passionately about. However,i would question whether a Cyprus themed messageboard is the place to do it. There must be thousands of relevant websites out there where you can vent your spleen and hurl insults at those who disagree with your views. |

| The middle east is full of muslim countries Dee, none are exactly rushing to the aid of Hamas. I think the problem here is you are concerned about the Palastinian people, which is commendable, however, the present tiff is aimed at the [internationally described as] terrorist orgianisation Hamas, and people are confusing your concern for the Palistinians with concern for the support of Hamas, perhaps if you condemed the launching of rockets into Israel during a cease fire it would help your cause. Also if you accepted that it may be in the longer term interest of the people of Palestine if Hamas were removed, because if they were, I am confident this small dust up would cease. Anyhow, better do it soon before this thread gets closed out too. |

| Dee....I don't come onto a Cyprus forum to be spoken to in a patronising and condescending manner by you ! As others have said....take off the blinkers...look at the bigger picture...accept that it's not all black and white....and for God 9(or Allah's ) stop promoting yourself as the bastion of all that is good and the one true voice. People on here are much more intelligent than you give them credit for,and do not fall under the spell of your 6th Form political rhetoric. |

| Only post claptrap: OK. It's perfectly reasonable to fire 50, 60 or 70 rockets a day into your neighbours territory and be surprised when after some 6,000 rockets they come to stop you. |

| Clearly this is a very emotive but topical subject in which a variety of views are being expressed. No one wishes to close down this thread as it is obvious that many members are genuinely concerned and angry about the loss of life in this region and are therefore taking an active interest. Dee, some of your posts are without doubt inflammatory and at times do get personal and accusing. If you could debate the issues in a manner that shows respect for others opinions and constructively challenge the differing viewpoints and stop stereotyping whole nations, religions and cultures, then this thread could be one of the more interesting threads, rather than as you say the "clap trap ones". |

| DC4..If Israel had wanted to exterminate the all the muslims in the middle east they could have done it years ago..they do not want that .All theyare asking the muslims to do is to let them live in peace and they will do likewise.You seem to miss that point,all you can say is about innocent palastinians being murdered by the Israelis.From the inception of the state of Israel it has always been the Arab nations who have started the conflict with Israel. Egypt tried twice, got there buts severely kicked .Syria triedTwice and Jordan likewise.All of those countries now consider it a futile task and have given up direct conflict with Israel so they now continue in an indirect manner by supplying two terrorist organisations to the dirty work for them.I do not see Egypt or Syria rushing to the aid of Hamas,Egypt wont even open there borders with Gaza to allow "innocent civilians" to get out of the conflict,because they do not want Israel to extend the conflict into there country..... |

| Dee At the local coffee shop this morning I was discussing this topic with a few locals. They ALL said that they understood why Israel had done what it has as they themselves had had to respond in the same way many years ago. These people were all Muslim and ALL said Hamas should be "wiped out" as true Muslims did not support terrorism. If you always support the underdog do I take it you therefore supported the IRA, Al Qaeda, Bader Meinhoff et al? Perhaps you are the one that need's to "wake up and smell the coffee" to use your own quote!!!!!!!!! |

| What is going on here? Hamas is what you dip your pitta bread in isnt it? There are difficulties everywhere and we all have our own opinions but they do differ. Can we not just post an opinion and not get slated for it, but have a constructive discussion with qualifications and agree to differ. We have a friendly forum here. Let's keep it that way. And if I want a plumber I will ask for a plumber. Or a wall builder or whatever. It is an information board after all. Sir Skogs |

| RE msg 43, Whispa : (...) otherwise peaceful civilians (there must be some in the Palestinian areas under attack ) are victims trapped between Hamas and Isreal and are paying a terrible price for a battle which they have didn’t start and can’t stop. (...) ===> Just for the record and to stick to the facts: 1) Hamas is the elected power in the Gaza Strip. 2) Most "peaceful civilians" in the Gaza Strip voted for Hamas. 3) Most "peaceful civilians" in the Gaza Strip knew exactly for what kind of political party (with a military wing) they were voting. Hamas wasn't founded a couple of months ago. It's a long standing terrorist organization with two faces (reminds me of the IRA). |

Rockets fired at Israel are indiscriminate, at least Israel tries to target the terrorists. (not always with success). |

| No solution if the talk is about the right of Jews to take a homeland but ignore that same right for Palestinians. UK and US, kill hundreds of thousands in Iraq because they didnt obey a UN resolution but dont say boo when Israel ignores about 200 resolutions. Attack Iraq because we accept the lies that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction,but pretend Israel doesnt have piles of nuclear weapons.On that same pretense we might attack Iran,or use US's client state Israel. Is it essentially because Israelis are basically european and therfore their lives are worth more . The UK haS a responsibility to mediate, we caused the mess. After all we had no right in the first place to give the land of the Palestinian people to another people. I said in the deletd thread ,kill my brother,a soldier ,and I accept it.Kill my wife and children and my hatred for you will mean no peace ever, How many terrorist ,brothers, uncles? and me does the childs death make ,and who do we turn to?

Just because you lose an argument you act like a 2 year old toddler instead of a grown intelligent adult. or is your vocabulary so limited .Until you learn how to put things into perspective and partake with a modicum of sense I would suggest you simply observe posts without participating as you are rapidly becoming something of a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only blame on the UK is that it did everything in its power to frustrate the UN decision. The UK favoured the Arabs in what was to become Israel - as much as possible. PS. Plenty of books available to learn the facts - one Dee is enough. PPS. Proof me wrong and name the source(s). |

| A couple of slight alterations to a famous poem. "O you all, go and call the cattle home, And call the cattle home, And call the cattle home Across the cross words of Dee"; The Med' wind was wild and dank with foam, And all alone went she. The Northern tide crept up along the sand, And o'er and o'er the sand, And round and round the sand, As far as eye could see. The rolling mist came down and hid the land: And never home came she. "Oh! is it weed, or fish, or floating hair-- A tress of golden hair, A drownčd maiden's hair Above the nets at sea? Was never salmon yet that shone so fair Among the cross words of Dee." They rowed her in across the rolling foam, The cruel crawling foam, The cruel hungry foam, To her house beside the sea: But still the boatmen cant hear her call the cattle home Across the cross words of Dee. Should be nice as often as possible, to as many as possible. You just never know. Sir Skogs |

| Gibson Its a question of the extent of the retaliation, How many non combatents do you kill before it becomes counter productive.If you are going to kill women and children willy nilly ,then you must understand the future repercussions from the relatives left behind . Genghiz Khan understood that, and often killed all male survivors in his rear. Its that easy then .to stop Israel killing my family I wait for the next election and vote Hamas out. Its a bit of a problem who to vote for, If I vote for a moderate then I stay in this hellhole where my children will have no life.But Icant vote for anyone more extreme because there is no guarantee they wouldnt lob missiles at Israel. Only targetting militants seems a bit hollow bearing in mind the indiscriminate bombing etc by Palestinian extremists has resulted in the deaths of 123 israeli children whereas the highly clinical surgical Israeli strikes has resulted in the deaths of over a 1000 Palestinian children,in the last 8 yea |

| Whispa ..It is a shame they cant defend there borders in another way but when your neighbour is intent on a path of antagonisation and your destruction you tend to get very annoyed in the end.When you retaliate you get called a bully and other names,but you are so annoyed that you are intent on grinding him into the ground so you can at last have some peace. I for one totally agree with Israels response and in conflict there will always be innocents caught in the middle you will never change that fact.... |

| Could I ask if the roles were to be reversed and the Israeli's were taking a pounding would the pro Hamas supporters on this thread denounce Palastine or is this just a Muslem-Jew thing ? |

| Girne Most of the reason that innocents are being killed ( which I abhor) is due to the fact that Hamas are placing their weapons dumps and rocket launchers in those innocents houses. It is clear to even the most idiotic person ( ??????) that this means innocent deaths. Dee I notice still no response to message 36. You said earlier that I should not cross swords with you. You were right as your toothpick against my claymore is a pretty uneven fight!!!!!! |

| Why you all having this heated discussion in the first place? Will your opions make a difference? NO You all argue about a war and start another one between yourselves. Have you not got enough problems of your own to worry about? |

| hi wyn long time no hear, let us not waste time to support either israel or hamas ,children are being murdered ,no state in the world ,religion or human can escape that. the super powers and eu ,israelis and arab moderates should force un resolution with a robust peace keeping force ,we are all guilty of supporting the deaths of these children otherwise. we all have our own views ,so lets stop shooting people down and take in what they are saying . musin |

| musim, I think you have misunderstood. I was referring to the thread title, and the author In respect of the Palestine, Israel Gaza situation suffice it to say that I abhor it. Bullying is abhorrent. violence in any form can never be condoned, whatever the situation. A negotiated settlement over the land issue is the only way forward.That is the root cause of the problem, and that is where the solution will be found. Meanwhile the IMMEDIATE cessation of hostilities on both sides IS ESSENTIAL. Humanitarian aid in vast quantities is vital. Mr Bush, America and Israel should hold their heads in shame. It is people that stop peace happenning. wyn |

| Dutch message 73 Read some facts yourself! Israel was NOT created by the UN in 48.The resolution of which you speak,in 1947 called for a partitioned State (56%for Jew,44% for Arab) but was NOT accepted. 1948 the Jewish leadership after some population shifts declared independence unilaterally from the mandate that UK had handed over to the UN.The US recognised the State Of Israel and then others. didnt say Palestine was given over to Israel, I said THE LAND that was given over to the Jews ,We caused the mess by handing over the mandate to the UN instead standing firm against both sides and partition by population. The groundwork was already built by the Balfour declaration and british / league of nations mandate that declared Palestine a Jewish National Home. As for who or what annoys you, couldnt care less. As for having another Dee or whatever on this site,it is not for you to decide. Hear endeth my part in this, leave me off your "insult list", I wont be replying |

| Gibson Mg 36 firstly allow me to apologise for not answering, I clearly didnt see that msg. I have spoken with many TC's, not in coffee shops but in places of importance and have had differing opinions to those given you, you cannot compare what happened here with the Israel/Palestine conflict, the boot is on the other foot so to speak. The only part of your message that warrants credibility is the fact that muslims, true muslims do not support terrorism, which is probably why the ppl I have spoken to voice their views, I understand this may be a little deep for you to understand.... |

| To all those who think putting up threads to ridicule me is funny when I have been discussing a serious topic, whether you agree with me or not, is extremely sick, I can onlly assume that you were all drunk, your grammar leaves much to be desired as not one of you are able to string together a sentence without several spelling and diction errors... I offer you all a challenge, you are all welcome at my house in Arapkoy to discuss this face to face....it is easy for a gang of boys to feebly attempt to bully a woman in cyber space... You should all be ashamed of yourselves.. |

| re: Msg #92 Dee. If you expose yourself in the public domain, and are happy yourself to refere to others as 'windbags' and worse, surely you have enough savvy to realise there will be a reaction, after all, the very reason you posted in the first place both refering to another member, and about the current situation in Gaza was to get a reaction, it just wasn't in the main the reaction you wanted. I think your reasons (on the Gaza post) were commendable, but surely the whole point here is that democracy is alive, many are able to have a say, and opinions expressed. There are no right or wrong opinions, only facts and fiction, what were read here are opinions based on personal interpretation with the information available [to the individual] at the time, no-one can be expected to do more, and in the same way you want to put over an opinion, the very least you can do is afford other the same freedom. |

| Brian you miss my point, I am not concerned with the insults I have received on the threads I have started re Israel, I dish out and can take back, the objection is to threads that were started in my absence, purely to ridicule and directed solely at me as they were headlined with my name and allowed to continue unmoderated. This is against board rules and unacceptable. |

| Dee, Isn't this a case of ...As ye sow, so shall ye reap! Personally I chose to... Turn the other cheek. In the best interest of the board, as No1 Doyen keeps saying. If you refer back to my posting Cyprus44 on 25/10 board members opinions were clearly expressed. It is a pity moderate moderation was not applied at that time! When you have read the thread, may I respectfully suggest that you read through YOUR postings since. No1 Doyen ,in my opinion has always given sound unbiased advice. wyn |

| Dee msg94 Re your last paragraph; as indeed are many of your posts due to the banal insults when someone disagrees with you. Msg91 Coffee shops are a real insight to the way of life and feeling here and one of the people talking to me yesterday morning is a Judge, another a politician so I think quite able to put forward a reasoned argument. As for credibility I feel your posts would have some if you cut out the insults and read and accept other peoples views a bit more as it is yourself who is damaging your own credibility on here |
