Who are you talking about? Your leader Netanyahu is deliberately trying to sabotage every deal, as prolonging this conflict helps him stay in power.

I’m sorry I wanna share this forum with you as a fellow Raps fan, but you Israeli followers supporting a modern holocaust is a bit too much on the nose.


I don’t agree with Netanyahu always.. but PLEASE don’t tell me Hamas is trying to negotiate. And why would there be a negotiation if Hamas has no upper hand? Release the hostages and it’d be over.


Either you are very gullible or willfully spreading misinformation, I'll site source directly from both Israeli media and the Western, in case you try to push back on the credibility of any of it:

They probably have the most fans of any NFL team in southern Ontario. But many fans here have other favorites going back years, Steelers in my case. Pushing the Bills doesn't mean anything, it won't make any fans drop their team to become a Bills fan.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

I'm not sure I'm buying it. Watching the canucks games I saw some cheap shots and the NHL didn't do nothing. They're just blowing hot air from what I've seen.

This was at an end of a game that was well over. No penalty. The NHL is full of **** IMHO.

Well, they just had arguably one of the best sunday night football games/comebacks of all time...

Also how did we get to talking about Israel/Hamas here??? I get enough of that everywhere else. I come here to talk sports. Let's...maybe get back on track here?

What would be over?

Will settlers leave the West Bank, where there are no Hamas or hostages?

Do you think the state of Palestine has a right to exist?

I do not think these are political opinions rather people are expressing a want to not consume American goods and services based on economic and territorial threats coming from a foreign country. It is not business as usual and sports is a business. Consuming the Bills ideally means visiting Buffalo. With migration and very likely significant human rights violations commonplace stateside the boycott of personal U.S. products is for many a legitimate undertaking. It is not about party politics because if a Canadian party in the current climate did not at least try to have Canadians backs they'd be history.

These are different times we cannot sleep through these threats or live in a sterile entertainment bubble. Principles should inform consumption behaviour.

I met Bubba Sparxxx (Ms. New Booty) at a Dallas Stars game. We sat next to each other and I bought him a hotdog.

The rizz... of Bubba Sparxxx!!!

You only have an opinion with them being shared cause you disagree. If you have a problem ignore it and keep quiet maybe?

How do you know what I believe? I would have said the exact same comment if someone said something coming from the right's perspective. This is a basketball forum where people come to escape politics.
Oh and don't tell me to be quiet you tool.

Sweet. Must have been some nice seats Bubba has put out a lot of music. When I see Dallas games I always think it would be cool to go to a game there. I like the green lights. Looks cool they do a good job. As a Canucks fan not really a fan though. Yeah sure Modano and Belfour were alright. Rantanen is okay. But whatever.
