And who the hell is calling them that?

Sorry, but this is a red cardable offence. Boo to you. There's no need for it, ever. Quit it. NOW.

You often hear somebody calling Arabs rag/towel heads, camel jockeys, etc. On this day and age, Arabs and Muslims are more often targets of racism and discrimination than Jews are.

Can anybody still say that Israel doesn't kill civilians on purpose? This is an act of terrorism:

Israeli forces storm Gaza aid ship

Page last updated at 5:01 GMT, Monday, 31 May 2010 6:01 UK

The Israeli navy has stormed at least one of a convoy of ships carrying humanitarian aid to the Gaza strip, amid reports of casualties on board.

Some reports say two people have been killed and about 30 injured. Israel has declined to comment.

There are members of the European Parliament on those ships. The EU should do something, maybe not to declare a war against Israel, but put at least some sanctions on them.

Not in "normal" civil society you don't.

Maybe where you are, this might go on but it doesn't excuse it, and it certainly doesn't bear repeating it.
Racism is ugly and it reflects badly on the person who is doing it.

Internet forums aren't "normal" civil societies.

B.S Rollo, I've lost count of how many times I've heard this sort of comment both in Australia and the UK.

It should be mentioned that this happened in international waters......

I've tried to stay out of politics as much as possible here. But what the israeli have done now, that's just beyond any justifications. There were for example 12 Swedes on board on those ships. If they see themselves being in war, ok then that's their view. But even in war you usually don't attack for example red cross. And this is exactly what they've done here. Ok, it wasn't a red cross ship, but the purpose was the same - to help people in need.

If for once the US could say that this was wrong I'd be happy. But no way that's going to happen.

This is so ugly that it makes me puke.

Sorry, I forgot about that, I apologize. And especially the evil Swedes who have been in war against someone last time in the 14th century (and used Finns for it then) should all be sunk to prevent them destroying the fake-plastic-based-on-religous-nonsense-stories-country of Israel.
