The Maldives bans Israeli passport holders

@keenforhelp
It is not my opinion stated as fact. It is fact. It all there for you to research

I can post all the research later, but I'm at work.
Those who dehumanise Palestinians are those who have been calling them cockroaches, human animals, have said they don't love their children like 'they' do, etc.

Yep - it is racism and anti-Semitism at its most rampant. And there are people on this thread cheering this one!

This

Exactly this

@ConnieCounter you have just proved my point for all to see.

Honestly folks, why bother.

Stop making ridiculous points you can't stand over if you don't want them challenged?

It is your opinion stated as a fact.

That does not make it a fact.

Who is dehumanising Palestinians?

"Palestinians have suffered decades of abuse," is based on fact. It becomes an opinion when people dehumanise Palestinians.

Yes I did say that dogs are treated well by people in the UK and Ireland.

Aren't they?

If you want to use an outdated cliche to explain your point of view, then that is your problem. Just do not dare say what I am saying is ridiculous because you do not agree with it. I won't put up with your inflammatory language.

" Palestinians have suffered decades of abuse" - that is your opinion.

Who the heck do you think you are inviting me to set a record straight and get me to agree with your opinion! Unbelievable!

I have not suggested or said that I agree with any atrocities taking place anywhere in the world nor that human rights abuses should be ignored.

Do not, I repeat, STOP putting words into my mouth or say that I am implying things.

Just stop!

When I said that Israel has treated Palestinians like dogs you said dogs are treated very well, thus minimising/denying decades of abuse of Palestinians.

Anyone reading what you wrote would have understood that that's what you meant, unless you want to correct the record now and say you do understand that Palestinians have endured horrendous treatment under Israeli occupation and blockade?

@ConnieCounter What?

Upthread, at 16:46 yesterday, you said:
"You are being extremely unfair to those who've suffered under Israeli occupation and blockade by suggesting these atrocities didn't/don't happen. You can ignore human rights abuses if you want. But it doesn't mean they're not happening."

I did not suggest any such thing anywhere and nowhere can it be construed that I am ignoring human rights abuses.

I repeat, do not ever say anything like this to me again - that is state that I said/suggested something when I did not.

Extremely inflammatory behaviour.

Yes I have never seen citizenship based on religion before. Fucked up on both counts.

Isn't it?

Interesting how the rules are different based on religion.

Thank you for your thorough review of my post.

Not most. Estimates vary from 8-10% as far as I'm aware. Think about it. Many Israelis fled countries where they were persecuted. This entailed losing their citizenship.

My word, you actually thought that through and typed it out?

I never did. You said them!

@ConnieCounter and there you go sweet talking me again.

Don't ever accuse me again of saying something I did not say or suggest.

And don't accuse me of calling people stupid. I did not. I said YOU were being DELIBERATELY obtuse. Deliberate implies you know what you are doing.

But you kept on and on and on at me when I answered you.

You're just deliberately accusing people of being stupid because you assume something that isn't true about them.

I just mentioned this as one of several countries where probably the majority of people in the UK don't know exactly where the border lie or their precise political status like are they countries or not, and on which days after which wars or battles have these borders or definitions changed.

Just pointing out lots of places have precise definitions people don't know. Assuming everyone does and that anyone claiming they doesn't is a mistake.
