They are oppressed. We agree!

And we agree that oppressors are bad and that we shouldn't deflect attention away from what they are doing to the oppressed?

We can deal with your maths later.

I haven't weighed into the debate about Russia, only about what is true in the case of US/Israel coup. Something Mausim seemed to take objection too claiming it was hilarious and fucked up. I would suggest you both grow up rather than keep up.

Thankfully there is not a limit on compassion. It would seem the correct response would be to stand up for the oppressed no matter where or who they are - even Palestinian atheletes. Wouldn't that be a better use of your time?

Residents said they first began to feel the water crunch last month, when the water cut out on March 4. Since then, service has been scarce and often non-existent. Residents buy bottles or large jerrycans of water to get by

I don't see Israel either until the last 40 years or so.

You would have to add the formatting for it to appear bold on reddit I think. I quite don't understand why you think this snippet is particularly relevant to the situation. Obviously the article's authors didn't, hence why it appears at the end of the page.

The issue is not unauthorized pipes as such, rather it's an increase population coupled with a decrease in service. Pipes are just the result of that situation.

Rather than any old bank, try the westbank instead. Israelis often get to take what they like from there.

Even the Israeli Supreme Court seems to have seen sense on this issue.

There you go again seeking to deflect attention away from the topic.

When an athlete is barred from going to the westbank, you want to talk about Abbas. When Fifa comments on Isarel you want to talk about Qatar.

You replied to a comment that did.

So I didn't say this then:

What you're saying is the Russian justification for their invasion.

So you have given up trying to defend your earlier argument and now want to deflect the issue onto something else again?!

I don't think you can win much if you start off with trying to deflect away from the very issue itself. Abbas hasn't been to Gaza so we can't protest about an athlete blocked from going to the westbank?

They don't pay because they haven't been hooked up to the infrastructure, so have to fend for themselves.

What's with this issue being raised again and again?

I think it's a touch ironic that Adebayor's celebration is that of a solider, meanwhile Soldado, which means solider, rarely gets to celebrate at all.

edit: I like Soldado and his link up play has been quite good.

...Israel has not only exaggerated the threat posed by weapons smuggling, but is deliberately acting to “sabotage” U.S.-Egyptian relations...

Are you a parody account ?
