But actions speak louder than words. If you go on my Facebook page you will see I am an active member of a Palestinian support group. I have also been several times to Ramallah and the West Bank (although not to Gaza) to witness at first hand the daily indignities heaped upon the heads of the Palestinian people and the evils of an Israeli ideology that fundamentally does not believe in a two state solution becasuse it holds that it is all part of the promised land of a greater Zion. But I'm campaigning about it and doing my bit for peace in places that can hopefully have more impact than on a cricket messageboard. Is that OK? |

I find it depressing that a dropped catch elicits more emotion on this board than the murder of hundreds of innocent civilians. There is no evidence that is true. You don't know how Sussex cricket supporters in general feel about the murder of innocent Palestinians. My guess is that most of them are outraged - apart from some blinkered idiots on the old board who criticised Amjad Khan for expressing support for the Palestinian plight on his facebook page and thought that because he played for their cricket club, that gave them the right as members to censor his views. I'm friends on facebook with Amjad and am pleased to report that he is keeping up his campaign against the outrage in Gaza with numerous posts every day. I particularly liked this one: " It seems the only weapon 'we the people' have against the violence in Gaza is social media. Our political leaders and news outlets are timid and inconsequential to say the least.I apologise for the continuous posts that all have the same message, but we only have ourselves to rely on. Kids being brutally murdered, ethnic cleansing and an apartheid regime that is above law.I simply refuse to be on the wrong side of history."Well said, Amjad. |

Why does the world stand idly by and allow atrocities which it would not tolerate from another country? Is that a rhetorical question? Because I think you know the answer. It's called emotional blackmail. Save Gaza. |

Of course Sussex has been in the vanguard of defending Palestinian rights when it took on Yasser Arafat, former PLO leader, several years after his reported death in 2004 which had been exaggerated. He did not let us down with his all round skills.

That reminds me, you were the fake Frawdy weren't you Tiptoes? Trying to sound like the real Frawdy. You wish. You were coming from the wrong angle - murder Israelis, get murdered back, that's what Frawdy thought.

Israel has no right to exist.
Palestinians were the indigenous people of the land, now called Israel, under the auspicies of the Ottoman Empire until Britian defeated them earlier in the 20th century from which they drew up the Balfour Declaration stating that Jews who had fled Russia and emigrated there, where they were welcomed by Palestinians, should have their own homeland.
Along with their exodus from Germany before WW2 and despite Britain declaring war on Germany to free Jews from persecution, Jewish Irgun terrorists attacked and murdered British personnel at the British Embassy in Italy and Camp David Hotel in Jerusalem. When Israel was formed, Palestinians were ethnically cleansed from their homeland and have every right to worship in East Jerusalem which wasn't even a part of Israel territory upon which the original boundaries were determined on its creation in 1948.

Frawdy also thinks any moron who worships anything should either wake up and smell the science or be put in an asylum.
Nobody cared about indigenous people in the old days, all over the world. It was a land grab, it was clever versus stupid, power versus weakness. It made the world today, for better or worse.
