The new home for the political stuff in the Cotto-Foreman thread is here

Another video of them attacking the commandos before they boarded,

And this one taken from security cameras on the boat itself shows them arming themselves prior to the 'battle'.

There is most definitely an outrage here, but just not in the way that you realise.

The whole convey was funded by terrorist organisations. There were known terrorists on the passenger list. If you really look into it you'll see the truth behind what is going on is not remotely how you imagine. The news coverage has generally been shocking imo.

I am sure you are aware of this, but disliking Israeli politics and disliking Jews are two entirely different things. The statement about not liking Foreman because he is training to become a rabbi falls under the latter category. What if he was training to become a Rabbi in the US or the UK and has nothing to do with Israel?

I know and hold my hands up on the charge of being an insensitive git. I have absolutely no problem with Jews and no problem with Foreman either for that matter. I was still under the influence and raving somewhat. I am not anti-semitic, but I am quite definitely opposed to what modern Israeli party politics has come to represent. There are obvious distinctions and I shouldn't have allowed them to blur like that. I mean so what if Foreman wants to be a rabbi? Why should that concern me? Yes, very silly on my part.

Shit, that's not good if what you say is accurate. I will definitely pay attention and watch everything tomorrow. I'm going to go out for a late evening game of badminton under the floodlights and then go for a quiet brew. No mad evening posting from me today! :p

ha that's what you need more of mate, a nice cup of tea and a sit down ;D


Your irritation levels have increased I think ever since the Barrera headbutt and loss to Amir Khan. Since then you've been on a downward spiral, let's hope a pleasant game of badminton can help relieve some of the stress.

You should take up yoga or something, maybe grow a plant :p

Tea is gay

I'm not even sure what were arguing about anymore, the Israelis did exactly what the leaders of the flotilla wanted them to do, the Israelis never miss a chance to look bad.

But still that doesn't change the general questions about their policy decisions, is the blockade defensible, etc, etc.

I don't give a fuck about this fight. FWIW. I wouldn't watch it if it was the main event of Wednesday Night Fights.

Politics should not come into this or any other fight.
