A little sth called news, MC. Those with a conscience can champion causes and reject unfair treatment. Heck, just think of the EU and their so-called legislators. Why would Brussels bureaucrats see fit to regulate the straightness of Polish gherkins/pickles? What interest do they have in regional Polish production? Under the Subsidiarity Protocol, Art 5b of the Amsterdam Treaty, it should not be within their competence but they deem it to be. We are people with broad minds, why confine your focus?

Yes, I'm aware of that. However, do they have the fund-raising capabilities of folk like George Galloway? He managed to raise 1 million pounds in 1 month by spreading the message.

Well, don't presume to know what I believe or what I don't without seeing the fuller picture.

Walls sausages are the dogs bolloc*s! Proper Lincolnshire skinless sausages are legendary :)

Subaru, WB is right and he has mentioned this before. I don't have such a big freezer but I'd do what I did in Scotland and pop it in if I did. Defrost the bread and, voila, you have a brilliant sandwich. Failing that, just toast it.

What I meant was that you seemed oblivious to a very simple point. That many activists are not from the ME itself. Heck, Palestinians can't even leave Gaza so how would they be able to spread the message? You are very free to disagree with me, that's the point.

No, again you don't read what I write. I have said it a couple of times that Israel cannot go on granting concessions to a largely ungrateful Palestinian bunch. I have also said that the IDF must protect Israelis and, furthermore, that Israel has a right to exist. I just object to the brutality and disproportionate nature of some Israeli responses.

I respect the fact that Rabbis freely practise their religion and see the folly of some strands of Zionism.

Insults to your intelligence? Do tell.

No, human atrocities in the Balkans is also an area which I pay attention to. A bit like Robert Fisk, journalist for The Independent.

WB said it above, B But. Is Roger Waters a Jew or an Arab? No. Is George Galloway? No. Are countless others of activists? No. Yet they still take a keen interest in human rights and decency. Are you ignorant? Seemingly

Tesco is doing really well at the moment, seeing in record profits. I did a big shop there just the other day. I tend to buy the toasted bread options. In that way, I don't need to force myself to eat tuna or meat when I don't really want to.

When it comes to some British products, I just imagine myself eating it. That way I don't get fat :)

Because I am interested in humanitarian issues and international law. Simple?

I don't pretend to know what most Egyptians think but I guess you are right. Again I state, please separate the government from the people more explicitly.

Indeed he does! Just like Ahmedinejad who says he wants to destroy Israel and then he retracts it by saying that he doesn't want nukes. It's just politics!

Well, the CIA do seem to have a lot of business there for money laundering purposes. Just ask the NYC banks and Mike Ruppert.

Is 32 middle-aged IYHO? In Japan, maybe, but not here. Well, you are on the same threads as me so what does that make you? Random people? I dislike that element as much as you do but it's a welcome break from teaching on a face-to-face basis.

I don't pretend to know it all, I'm just discussing which is the point.

Russia and Germany too, WB. Russia even more so. German tourism was rocked after the events of Dresden where they harshly treated that Muslim lady.

That's why I only buy traditional Polish bread if I know that my wife and I will be eating sandwiches on that day. In that case, we buy a small loaf.

Subaru mad, I recommend that you toast it on the 2nd or 3rd day. Pop some marg on top and you have a tasty snack, trust me! Otherwise you'll be eating sth like a nun's little friend.

Geez, lad, have you ever read up on the relations between Egypt and Israel? They improved markedly under different leaders and Mubarak is really clamping down on any weapons getting into Gaza. Egypt is a puppet state favourable to the US.

Jordanians? Remind me of the Jordanian equivalent of Hezbollah or Hamas! They are not hostile towards Israel to any meaningful extent. Ask Yehudi :)

Lebanese? Granted but they need to agree to bare minimums. I don't see much evidence of fruitful dialogue, if any.

Turkey is an ally of Israel, MC. Can't you see this? Erdogan himself even stressed the need to keep tourism and trade very much alive.

There haven't been drug barons for 10 years? LOL. The CIA wouldn't agree with you. And you are useful? How?

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

1) Well, that is foolish. Hypocritical too, if true. He respects Ughyurs in China but not Armenians in Turkey?

2) An anti-Semite? So, Israel likes dialogues with anti-Semites? You don't know first thing about Israel in that case.

3) Did the Bogota drug barons finance your internet connection?

Why do you take such an interest in these matters, are you of Jewish descent?

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

He was responsible for the Armenian genocide, was he? ;)

Comparing him to Hitler is just wrong!

I didn't know Erdogan was so well-known in Colombia ;)

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

They didn't tell me, LOL. Nice one, yehudi. I like your humour and expected such a response :)

I can agree with what you are saying, yehudi, but you always ran the risk of the Gaza strip being run that way. Hamas came into power and that was that, it wasn't totally out of the blue.

If it indeed was an innocent raid as you seem to see it, why did the UN and even the ME quarter condemn your govt so openly?

I don't want to point the finger of blame here as I know how misleading the Press can be. I just didn't see there being an imminent threat to Israeli soldiers based on eyewitness reports.

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

Yehudi, what are Israeli sources saying was confiscated from the flotilla that was raided? Netanyahu said it was a "ship of hate", how did he know? What actionable intel did the Shin Bet have here? On the face of it, it looks like paranoia and again a disproportionate use of force.

Causing a diplomatic row with Turkey really doesn't make much sense.

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

Exactly, Rogalski :) It's just a matter of preference.

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

MC, why are you so active on these threads? Oh yes, you are a Sephardi Jew, that's right. Enlighten us with what you know, step up to the plate.

Study / 90% of Poles have university degree? [57]

I remember being in Żywiec for a stint with my wife. We waited half an hour for a train, only to find that it was filled with utter bozos who she said were sporting the scarves of Jagellonia University. I cannot for the world of me imagine that they were real uni students. If so, Jagellonia leaves a lot to be desired.

Yeah, results may be high but you have to look at how people get those results.

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

The intention is not to disrespect and I don't think writing the full name is disrespectful per se. The actions of Israelites during God's instruction were far worse ;) ;) Moses got off lightly ;) ;)

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

Just out of interest, yehudi, why don't you write God like most other people do? I don't want to cause an affront to you by writing the word with 'o'. It's not taking the Lord's name in vain, nor is it using lower case to disrespect the great one!!

Boker tov! Thanks for the info, btw. Toda :) Ma nishma?

B'Ezrat Ha Shem, I like this phrase. Yiddish seems to be close to Arabic on occasion and more to German. Shem, what a good man he was :)

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

L'Chayim to that :) A big Shalom :) It would be rather strange and I wonder if a Scotsman would receive anti-Semitic comments ;)

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

I don't really look so different, tbh. I don't need a makeover to look like him :)

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]

Looking Germanic is ok. You look as you look I say. I look Scottish and am so that's fine :)

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]

No worries, matey :)

Polish looks? I don't have them, that's for sure. I've only had a couple of people think I was Polish, probably more that I was speaking Polish at the time (which should have confirmed that I wasn't Polish, LOL).

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

To what extent do the decisions of parties like Likud impact upon religious freedoms, yehudi? Are they completely separate or?

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

OK, thanks :)

Well, I haven't read so widely on it, right enough. I get my information from video presentations too.

So you believe in fate and destiny more other material factors? Did he legislate on the Palestinian equation? ;) ;) Those damn Philistines ;) ;)

I'm 32 :) Well, they don't curl upwards but they are long. Maybe more like Elvis :)

History / Poles and (Polish) Jews... Victims of war... and beyond [380]

I hope Polish Jews take heed of what he is saying. ... he knows what he is talking about.

These people are more Semitic than Zionists. I support these Rabbis and their cause. Therefore, am I not more Semitic than Zionistic Jews?

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

For all those who think that I'm anti-Semitic, think again. I wear my sideburns like a Jew (almost) and agree with much of what they say. are but two videos where I support the speakers. I really identify with Rabbis and how they see many things. They defend the Old Testament and are not so different.

God Bless many innocent and insightful Jews and down with the Zionists. Yehudi, step up to the plate :)

Language / Nice Polish words to say to a girl [147]

'Kocham Cię, Misieczku' is the most common :)

That's true, also between it's and its. Trzeba pomyśleć troche. I think a Polish girl likes to hear English from time to time. They learn it long enough.
