Laughable. I'm just used to Houchen being outspoken.

Grendel is often outspoken and I am simply used to him now, so often don't comment at all, even if I profoundly disagree with him.

There’s more here who want Russia to prevail in Ukraine than who apparently want Hamas to take Israel

‘Point proven’ as some might say. That really is the conflict where people aren’t quite showing their true colours.

I readily admit I’m really angry at Israel constantly and have been for many years. Have many friends who’ve worked in charities in Palestine and on the borders with Israel
I readily admit a part of me is on the side of the oppressed (always) and when the oppressed hurts the oppressor it’s hard not to say ‘good on you’.
What Hamas did was not self defence or tactical action and the one thing I think all agree on was that it would lead to worse bombing and worse conditions and a worse future for the very people they were supposedly representing

so you can put me on the side of the oppressed not Hamas but the oppressed

I ignored him as I understand where he’s coming from as I’ve said just above
Israel have turned into the oppressor and houchen said he’s on the side of the oppressed

For the record as someone from a family who has several family members who’s been the victim of IRA terrorism including attempted loss of life I will never back a terrorist organisation. Doesn’t mean I don’t have sympathy for catholics though who have been a victim of discrimination from the Protestant community my family is from, it doesn’t mean I’m in denial about the reason the Provo’s came into existence with the rebirth of the IRA and how a feeling of hopelessness amongst a community was the key driver of recruitment for the Provisional IRA.

Ironically it was my trip to Israel as a neutral and as a young man that opened my mind up to considering the other side the argument. Not something I was raised to do. I don’t think in either the case of Northern Ireland catholics (and Protestants for that matter) or Palestinians it justifies acts of terrorism. And as Northern Ireland proves its politics that ultimately works not violence.

I hope that clarifies my position.

So what can they do to make you change your mind that they don't support Hamas, if saying 'I do not support Hamas' is not enough, and someone else saying they do is proof that they do as well?!?

Kieran is a much newer poster than Houchen. I have known Houchen on here for many, many, many years .

Kieran I have not been so sure about. He seemed to post some interesting stuff on the Ukraine thread.

Houch loves to be outspoken

Went to Belfast in the summer and got to spend a few hours separately with a former IRA member and then a former RUC man. While both still want very different futures for NI they also both said how much better life is without living in a place where bombings and shootings are the norm. The former’s kids have been to Orange marches and the latter’s played GAA.

Really eye opening

No, and put like that I'd agree with you.

The way you phrased it initially however, whether intentional or not, was basically saying a load of active posters who weren't just saying Go Israel were in fact tacit Hamas supporters by that lack of black and white thinking!

(Even if they say they're not!)

So, would it be fair to say that wasn't your intention, you never meant that to be implied, and then we therefore move on...?

Well it will never happen, there is genuinely more chance of City winning the Champions League.

Two state solution is the only way out of this.

Some interesting comments here

Compared to Nazis and Israel shouldn’t exist (which is the Iran stated objective)

Israel

When is something going to be done about this murderous blood-thirsty warmongering nation. They commit war crime after war crime after war crime......and yet "we" do nothing other than arm them to carry on killing babies. Its some kind of fucked up irony that this Jewish nation commits war...

It's not a 'win', it's the fact that your language, as I said, ends up a bit snide and implying (in fact, saying!) that we *all* support Hamas, and no amount of saying we don't, no amount of condemning them will change your mind because we're making it up!

That, is pretty pathetic tbh.

And yes, I do want it clear I don't and yes, I would carry on until I got confirmation. Because it wasn't just that post that did it, it was repeated innuendo and crass generalisations.

What we basically ascertain however is that Houchen saying he supports Hamas means Clint does (he can speak for himself on that!), and it's not everybody after all!

And it's still pathetic. I gave you an out and you seem to be doubling down and thinking this is an argument for internet points, when it's actually an argument about aspersions you've implicitly cast on *my* beliefs, that I wanted cleared up because... it's a nonsense. A totally illogical, mental nonsense that just lives itself out in lazy language... which is actually the best I could hope for because mostly you seem a decent chap tbh.

So do you think I do?

I find your posts ridiculously offensive.

You seem to be saying that anyone who takes a balanced view and doesn't just see Israel as the goodies and Muslims as baddies is a terrorist sympathizer.

You're making things up .. I'm saying there are people on this forum who would happily see hamas beat Israel .. if you're offended by that , then that's a you issue
