Clarwill and Sahil I took your silence to mean you wanted me to write a long blogpiece about why I feel that my indignation is justified. So that is what I did and here it is.

El Cid 113

Another little curiosity from myself.

When you talk of the word Yiddo. I remember being called yiddo quite well in about 1970 it was a term used by skinheads to describe and taunt hippies with possbly before they chased them and beat them up (usually it was just a taunt)

I discovered later it was term for Jews. How did skinheads get to use it. It’s a weird world sometimes!!

Aha! Will re-post here what I wrote on Katy’s:

If youâ€™re busy or bored with PP fair enough but if (as I suspect) you feel excluded in some form I think it would be a great shame if you left us.

Youâ€™re one of the most committed contributors on here, always thought provoking, greatly insightful and a much needed balance to the typical political slants at work here. I know we havenâ€™t always seen eye to eye but on a personal level Iâ€™d miss your postings.

Seriously re-consider leaving.

Same goes for you CW. I don’t think it’d be right if either of you felt you had to post less/leave/kill anaskoff complain about trolling as much.

Don’t take a break Katy, this place is a lesser place without you and Chairwoman. Don’t let yourself get intimidated by a bully.

donâ€™t close it yet Leon

Heh, I don’t have the power too and wouldn’t if I did on a thread I didn’t post.

Anas – it isn’t unfair, you go on about I/P as if the whole fucking world revolves around it. And Utbah, well he’s just a nutcase. The fool has a whole section dedicated to taunting me, as if I’m going to take the bait. Enough already, it kills conversation on other threads and makes even more reluctant to start a topic on it. Write about it on your own blog!

As for the debate, we lost
Outflanked – they made it all about freedom of speech and I didn’t pre-empt that. Doh. But my public speaking is getting better.

I think Iâ€™ve had enough of Pickled Politics for a bit.

I hope that wasn’t my doing.

Clairwill and Sahil do you really want me to respond to your points in any depth? It’s just that I don’t think it would make me very popular in here given that this isn’t really a thread about I/P and it seems I have to be more particular with my trolling.

If you want I’ll post something on my blog some time tommorow (sleepy time for me right now) in reply and link to it here — if that’s OK. If you don’t want, fair enough.

Hey Anas, work this one out. I have deep sympathy for Palestinians, and yet I have deep sympathy for Israelis. Why would I have such feelings? Maybe becuase I believe in general humanity, and that I believe that war turns people into animals. Do I blame Avi or Ali, no I blame the politics. Grow up. BTW have you ever been to Palestine, let alone out of Glasgow?

Miraxx – Thereâ€™s a difference between acknowledging how things are and whining.

Indeed there is Chairwoman. In the last ten years my mother has made numerous anti-Pakistani and anti-Muslim remarks and is amazed that anyone challenges her on it. Similarly her first remark when I went to work for a company that was started by Jews was ‘O your in the lap of the Jews -watch yourself’. That said I should point out that my mother is of immigrant stock herself and cried the length of Auschwitz when we visited it. There are worse places to be a minority than the UK but that doesn’t make it perfect.

Anas,
You make me shake my head. On the I/P question my sympathies veer towards Palestine though I do acknowledge the right of Israel to exist. However I’m baffled by all this apartheid state stuff. I’m also puzzled as to why no-one is seems to acknowledge that the Palestinians have been ill-served by their leadership. It’s very easy to treat this as poor, innocent Palestine oppressed by big bad Israel. Lord knows the Israelis make it easy. However one only has to look at Northern Ireland to see the damage done by only acknowledging the other side’s atrocities and forgetting your own. The psychic scars left by such conflicts take hundreds of years to heal, we outsiders should be very wary of stoking the flames.
