Reading the thread on Israel/Palestine in OTC

It's honestly a bit disturbing.

There was a troll. He was... not fun in the slightest.

IanExMachina · 2011-07-11 19:03:10

Was he banned?

Chagen · 2011-07-11 19:03:48

Why?

Is it nothing but fights or is it because there's supporters of Israel?

IanExMachina · 2011-07-11 19:04:38

It is for some of the attitudes expressed regards to the worth of life of either side by the other and the like.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-07-11 19:05:02

^^^ Yes.

IanExMachina · 2011-07-11 19:08:14

^

It must have been a few pages back as I can't place who you are on about

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-07-11 19:11:22

I made a thread on it a while back.

The actual OTC thread has all of his posts thumped.

IanExMachina · 2011-07-11 19:12:36

Actually I do remember!

Can't remember what he said.

Although the attitude that the others live's are worthless is still being espoused in the thread, by someone who isn't a troll.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-07-11 19:15:41

He was vehemently anti-Israel. Like, bordering on anti-Semetic. And not Chagen's version of anti-Semetic; legitimate near-bigotry.

Chagen · 2011-07-11 19:16:24

I'm not anti-semetic.

Also, he seemed more like an everyday neo-nazi than a troll.

IanExMachina · 2011-07-11 19:17:06

So proper crazy then, rather than dangerously nationalistic?

Chagen · 2011-07-11 19:17:52

That. He seemed to be more a WN National Socialist than a troll.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-07-11 19:18:03

^^^ No, not that you're anti-Semetic, but that you (and certain others) are more likely to call somebody who dislikes Israel anti-Semetic.

^^ I suppose.

delta534 · 2011-07-11 19:18:17

I never really read the thread. Can I get the name of the poster in a PM or will it break the rules.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-07-11 19:18:59

Polack. It's okay, because he was a troll and he was banned a while ago. And tried to ban-evade. With the same goddamn avatar.

Chagen · 2011-07-11 19:19:28

"No, not that you're anti-Semetic, but that you (and certain others) are more likely to call somebody who dislikes Israel anti-Semetic. "

Which they would be.

Since the other alternative is for the small subset of nutjobs in the Middle East to enact a second holocaust.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-07-11 19:19:56

Let's not go there.

delta534 · 2011-07-11 19:21:37

Name does not ring a bell because the bulk of his posts were in the thread, Great.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-07-11 19:24:36

Also, for some reason I think his name might be a slur against Poles.

-checks-

Yep. Stay classy, dude.

IanExMachina · 2011-07-11 19:53:11

Just to clarify you can hold dislike for the country of Israel without being anti Semitic, in the same way you can hold negative views of an Arabic country without being racist.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-07-11 19:54:52

Yes. But he had a level of near-inexplicable vitriol towards Israelis.

IanExMachina · 2011-07-11 19:55:47

Oh I'm not defending that!

I'm referring to the above exchange with Chagen.

Howdy, Stranger!
