Serhou Guirassy is not just the leading goal scorer in bundesliga. He has scored 13 goals in 7 games. Most prolific start to the season ever (better than both Lewandowski and a certain Haaland). He has a release clause that activates in the summer believed to be just under €20M, but could...

Aff, seriously... please. How is this promoting a good debate climate?

I don't know how to answer this. Palestinians have diverse opinions just like you and me. One of the things they were the most curious about was, as you might imagine, everything related to our sexual freedom. "How many girls have you slept with?" and so on =D Boys will be boys, I guess, and...

The palestinians are unable to really challenge Israel with violence. What they can hope to do is tell their stories to us in the west. To raise their voices and possibly get enough attention to make us finally care. Then their hope lies in us. That we in the west force Israel, for instance by...

sometimes it is useful to try to understand why things happen. Not just condemn all the things you don't like and refuse to look at things from other perspectives. I spent three months in a small conservative muslim village at the west bank. Playing football with the kids in the streets...

Born in norway in 82. Learned how to walk in Brighton in 83* and that's my excuse for supporting the Albion =) I am a leftie, as you suspect. And a believer in non violence. So although I claim the palestinians have the "right" to attack israeli armed forces(not civilians!) I believe it is a...

I don't like the hamas charter. In fact I hate Hamas, but they are a lot more than just a terrorist group. Their popularity stems from what they do for palestinians in their everyday life. Hamas provide health care and family support through for instance kindergardens. A bit like some christian...

No one here are supporting attacks on civilians either. I visited Sderot(one of the israeli cities attacked yesterday) in 2013. To see how the playgrouds were designed so that some of the toys coud be used as bomb shelters did leave an impression. However attacks carried out by Hamas on IDF...

Why would a palestinian state turn into Afghanistan? Palestinians are a diverse people just like us. Some are very religious, about 20% are christian, but most people just want to live a normal life with dreams about a future for their families, to travel to the mediteranian sea in the weekends...

Desmond Tutu used these words to attack those who declared neutral to the the Apartheid South Africa. He has since used the word Apartheid about Israel, so has Amnesty International, and even Jimmy Carter(with reservations), to name some. Look at the reality of the people living there. Who has...

Hamas are not in power. Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah remained in power despite loosing the election many years ago. Hamas are in control over Gaza, but Israel had more than 50 years to accept the palestinian state before Hamas rose to become such a big player in Palestine

Yes, he does know how it is to have parts of the country occupied. But in this conflict Palestine is "the ukraine", and Israel is "the Russia".

Twitter Boy? Moron? Why resort to childish behaviour? I choose side with the civilians living under occupation. With the civilians that have had their homes and land stolen, With the civilians that are denied the right to harvest from their own land With the civilians living under an illegal...

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. Desmond Tutu

About Israel/palestine? Yes, I have lived there. He has not
