Roger Wade, former CEO of Boxfresh, was banned from attending Brighton & Hove Albion matches after wearing a Palestine #football top.

Wade, who’s held a season ticket for nearly a decade, explained that he was escorted out of the stadium without explanation. The club later issued a ban letter.

IT WAS NEVER ABOUT #TERRORISM.

It it about wiping off #Palestine off the map of the earth.

    And Hamas had the same clause in its charter until recent years, too. At any one time in that conflict there is a bad guy (and you may well believe with reason that it’s always been the same party) but black-and-white thinking - that this means we should minimise, ignore or even defend the other party’s inexcusable words and actions - won’t get us anywhere.

        It’s accused others, accurately, of trying to do so. What part of the stated goals of Iran and Hamas being wiping out the Jews in Israel is hard for you to condemn? Do you find it difficult to say “this is bad but that is worse”?

          @FishFace

          Ask yourself how you ended up here

          1. Spreading lies

          2. Making excuses for a genocidal terrorist war criminal apartheid regime

          Even if you don’t examine yourself - that’s ok. Millions of people around the world are increasingly seeing Israel for the disgusting monster it is, and always was. They can see through the lies and propaganda.

          You’re on the wrong side of history.

            Spreading lies

            You’ve accused me of lying without even saying what you disagree with.

            Making excuses for a genocidal terrorist war criminal apartheid regime

            I have never excused Israel once for committing war crimes, and if you properly read what I’m saying you would see that, because I am not circumspect.

            You seem by all accounts incapable of understanding that there can be two parties doing things wrong in a conflict, even if you end up condemning one far more.

            I have no interest in continuing to talk to someone like that.
