I have not posted under any other identity here. So save your sarcasm. Idiot.
Arminius you Nazi, under which name did I post on these pages apart from JJ and JJJ?
You tell me knobend, I did encourage you to confess.
You are a lying b*stard as well as stupid.
Armi, the 4th Reich is not coming back. Get used to it and become a productive member of society instead of hating so much. D**khead.
GFY Zionazi vermin.
Palestinians do not exist, according to some extremist Zionists on this site and are merely immigrants occupying Jewish land given to them by God thousands of years ago (presumably the same God that allowed them to be booted out of that land). It must be true because some loon from Hamas says so. Here's another gem of a quote from Fathi Hammad which might just not fit in with the Zionist agenda:
"The Jews have become abhorred and loathed outcasts, because they live off corruption and the plundering of the peoples – not only the Arab and Islamic peoples, but all the peoples of the world. The world has begun to be aware of this corrupting danger, and to applaud Hamas. The entire world says: "Bravo, Hamas, for confronting these people pf corruption." Whenever we score a goal, by achieving something against the Jews, the world applauds us. When we are playing, the entire world supports us.
Therefore, I expect that in the future, support for Hamas will grow. I also expect that in addition to the aid convoys, Hamas will get some "heavy stuff," which will help it be victorious. Hamas will receive its means of survival, its arms, and its supporters from where it is lease expected, because the hatred for the Jews is on the rise, and people who hate the Jews find no [other] way to fulfill their hatred of the Jews and of the Americans – the Americans too have become abhorred throughout the world, because of their corruption, for they are led by the Jews – and they will support us".

Bit of a bummer when the "source" turns out to be a nutter but no worry, such is the Zionist mindset, they will see no irony in accepting one quote as gospel and proof positive that Palestinians do not exist whilst dismissing the other quote as the ravings of a fruitloop. You have to work hard at your hypocracy when you have a twisted ideology to follow.
More rubbish from GO GG/Arminius (the same poster).
More tin foil hat paranoia from JJJ the Zionist troll. If you have no answer or point to make best shut the f*ck up.
More abuse from the Nazi Arminius who sounds more and more like his hero Judge Roland Freisler.
My, have you learned to use Wikipedia or something? If you had read beyond the first couple of lines you would have learned that Friesler was a former Bolshevik and was despised by most of the Nazi big wigs. Friesler was/is nobody's hero and was lamented by few outside of his family. Best you stick to the usual vitriol, Islamofascist etc....
And if you had read more than the first few paragraphs you would have learned more about Friesler.
And Armi, you despise Bolshevism too, don't you?
Of course and not just the many Jewish Bolsheviks.
It's a racist society built upon ethnic cleansing.
Why is anyone surprised
racist societies built on ethnic cleansing is what each and every Arab Muslim state especially the fascist apartheid regime in Pakistan are.
Tel Aviv is hosting it's Gay Pride Week. Thousands of Gay and Lesbians are arriving in Israel for the event. In Muslim Arab states Gays can be sentenced to crucifixion as they are in Gaza or hung from cranes in public squares in Iran.
What a shame that anti-Semitic bigots like Ben White are unable to distinguish between liberal diverse democracies like Israel and medieval intolerant Islamist states.
well that's the sticky point the article alludes to. apparently there's a law that discriminates against some Israeli citizens when they wish to get married on the grounds of religion/ethnicity. i haven't yet seen a post that claims things are better in Islamist states, pls link to one if you can find it. i can't think of another "liberal diverse democracy like Israel" where such a discriminatory law exits. can you name even one other?
Bigoted Double Standards: Ben White hits rock bottom for BDS
Staunch anti-Israel activist Ben White has been busy recently advocating a boycott of a performance by Israel’s Habima Theatre during the Globe Theatre World Shakespeare Festival in London. As I have noted in a related post, the campaign against Habima is part of the broader BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) efforts that have targeted Israel in order to delegitimize the Jewish state for the sake of “a world without Zionism.”
While it is therefore hardly surprising when BDS activists appeal to antisemitic sentiments, Ben White, who has a BA in English Literature from Cambridge University, has generally tried to present himself as a somewhat more sophisticated advocate of the Palestinian “cause” – at least if the Palestinian cause is defined as requiring nothing more than attacking Israel.
But the mask seemed to slip when Ben White posted the following tweet:
The rest can be read here:

'... mistreatment of African migrants?' ??
Israeli's are expert in murder and terrorism, so 'mistreatment' for them should be a piece of piss. Just shows how desperate these African souls are to even contemplate taking refuge in that stolen dump.
strange how and why these African souls just can't bear the idea of trying to get asylum in the Islamist sh.tholes of Egypt, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, or any other Moslem state and head straight for Israel despite the fact that most of them are themselves Moslem?
The answer is very clear. Each and every Arab Moslem state is a savage barbaric tyranny. They stone their own women to death. They hang and crucify Gays. In Syria the stab, slut the throats and gauge the eyes out of their own children. why should anyone want to live in some barbaric primitive Islamic state when you can try and get asylum in Israel .... even if you are a Moslem?
perhaps they go there because it's not a ligitimate 'country' and the so called religion is more of a cult and think they can improve the sh1thole. The poor souls only want to help. You should embrace them, you never know you may become civilised in the process!! (unlikely but stranger things have happened)
See this article from the Guardian about a Sudanese mother facing death from stoning, a regular occurence in the Islamic world.
Ben White, where's your compassion?

Xenophobic questions about Greeks on Question Time Tonight, how dare the UK audience discuss this matter the racists swines....How dare they present a racist insinuating question that Greeks shouldn't be allowed into the UK regardless.
"Are we about to be invaded by hoards of homeless, hungry Greeks? Where would we put them? What would they do? #bbcqt"
seems i missed a fascinating bit of tv. wonder if you can fill me in on that matter regarding Israel you so far have run away from; which religious/cultural group within Greece is discriminated against on the grounds of religion when wishing to marry someone?
or any European nation for that matter...which one has a similar discriminatory law to the one in the Modern Democracy that is Israel?
funny - I'm not aware of many European democracies that face total annihilation from hundred of millions of crazed Islamist fanatics on their borders screaming for their deaths. If there was a western democracy in such a predicament I think they would adopt an immigration policy that was designed to keep the enemy out.
what a pointless interruption Trolldirge. not even close to attempting to even pretend to answer the question. yawn...
As ever, Jankaas with his pointless questions to which he never gives an answer. The meglomaniac Jankaas who believes that all should dance to his tune.
Crawl back to your cave.
ok JJJ, here is as good as anywhere to call your bluff. again...
go on then, ask me a question. a single question that is actually on topic. i will then answer it.
i wonder if you'll run for cover again and totally ignore this post.
'Crawl back to your cave.'
Really?!! When Jankaas' ancestors were exporting civilisation around the world, your ancestors were still trying to figure out the purpose of different holes on their body!
You really are clueless about history JJJ.
jackass should go and stone some of his vile women to death or can and bonk some corpses. He's an as.hole who's frankly getting on my nerves with his islamst garbage.
i am so pleased i get on your nerves, and for so little effort too.
btw you really do have a mighty strange view of Dutch people. we don't stone women to death nor do we have sex with corpses. i guess just proof you don't get out much and don't know anything about anywhere. bless...
Jackass you Islamist scumbag - FYI the Dutch have traditionally been the strongest supporters of the Jews and Israel. For you - a primitive Islamist from apartheid Pakistan to pretend to be Dutch is hilarious.
you need a better sense of humour Trolldirge.
jackass should go and stone some of his vile women to death or can and bonk some corpses. He's an as.hole who's frankly getting on my nerves with his islamst garbage.
What?!!!
Jankaas is Dutch. He has more civilisation in his little finger than you have in all your body. And he's getting on your nerves because when it comes to intelect, you simply aren't in his league. Simple really BOY.
Arminius, you jew hating piece of crud. Is that you again posting now under a different name? You and Jankaas: Same old.
Same old indeed. You must spend a small fortune on Bacofoil.
I didn't realize Ben White is working out the TV schedules in Syria...

Wow, what a great set of contributions. I think...
(how dare you, you anti semite)
But I...
(you dont have right to say anything...)
But...
(we are gods chosen people)
Dont I even have an opinion?
(no you dont, unless you admit that whenever we do anything wrong, it is because you FORCED us to use these options...)
So this is the situation the so called christians and athiests of europe face. Having attempted to exterminate european juadry, they then decided to create this bastard nation with zero legitimacy in the heart of somebody elses land. And now, they must remain silent. So pray tell what will be the outcome when you are sick of those "insolent" muslims? Will you attempt to make soap out of them as well?
We will never surrender, and you will all be marganalised to sitting behind your ananamous computer screens, threatening and insulting muslims because lets face it, you are all too chicken to transfer your inferiority to the real world.
kiss kiss
The ghost of the Mufti speaks...
No its just you talking out of your Arsch.
I honestly think that if these deranged Islamists were forced to drink alcohol they might lighten up a bit! invade Iran and Pakistan. Open up a couple of boozers. Force them to down a couple of pints and take my word for it the genocide rate , the genocide rate will tumble.
Ah! So that's why the European Christian Nazis did that to the Jews. Explains all, thank you (but that was ok coz it was blue on blue?) Then of course the remnants of the Jews who morophed into the zionists became terrorists who blew up our British soldiers and we, who never give in to terrorists, did. But that was ok too coz it was blue on blue.
Dubai in 1990 was the only time i was ever a proper alcoholic (my definition is having DTs). was there working for 2 months, more like a non stop party. plenty of locals (sorry, Islamists) were also heavy drinkers. and predictably it leads to lots of chaos and violence, same as over here when you mix alcohol and young people.
not sure it's such a smart idea, mixing "deranged Islamists" with alcohol...
Blimey another crazed Islamist nutter...may I suggest that you stay off the mind-bending drugs before you post comments?
oh and btw 'bastard nation' is perhaps a term best used to describe the followers of a pedo 'prophet' who stone women to death, hang Gays, try to pass legislation legalizing necrophilia, slaughter their own children by slitting their throats and gauging out the eyes of small Moslem children, indulge in the ethnic cleansing of Christians and Jews, and blow up our buses and tube trains.
message for JJJ.
you posted a couple of lies on the Muslim Schindler thread that require your attention. any chance of you sorting that out over there, or is it not important when you post lies?
When you called me 'vermin' you lost the right to have me engage you.
You are a filthy rat.
You are vermin, you dirty rat.....
