Israel flag

[hibsbollah]

Wow, what a cracking thread!!

So, if I’ve got this right, it’s ok to like Palestine, you’ve got to hate Israel or you’re a moron and we should only ever wave Hibs flags at ER. Is that about it?!

Wake up, you're flagging.

:rotflmao:

[hibsbollah]

I have seen that flag flown before at a celtic game, I bet you can guess what team they were playing....the huns.

Did the hun have an Israeli goalie though, is the obvious question here...

[Iggy Pope]

... It also manages to utilise the same cryptic lettering as the legendary 'Celtc' banner back in the day. This time they achieved a clear, concise, but rather potty mouthed political message with faultless spelling. Hurrah for our big cousins :flag:

Not that sure I would have had many relations in there, but yes, potty mouthed it was. As I said though, concise.

Some of the 'contributions' to this thread have left me aghast. I don't think I have ever witnessed such a profound level of ignorance being demonstrated on any other subject.
The 'justifications' put forward for the flying of a symbol of racism, occupation and apartheid can only reflect a lack of education, a deep level of brainwashing, or a nursery school level of logic.
No one with the most superficial understanding of the history of occupied Palestine, and familiarity with the Nazi-style atrocities perpetrated by this rogue state, would not be embarrassed to act as an apologist for an entity which has broken more UN resolutions than any other nation in the world. This regime has taken part in 'Einsatzgruppen' massacres (such as at Deir Yassin), ethnic-cleansing (before the term was even invented), the theft of art and intellectual property and the looting of Palestinian libraries, an ongoing attempt to erase an entire culture having already wiped out 500 Palestinian villages in 1948, the forced and secret administering of birth control to Ethiopian women without their consent, a quest for 'Lebensraum' for those classed as 'racially superior' in 'Eretz Israel' which would stretch from the Nile to the Euphrates, and a level of day-to-day intimidation, deprivation and torture of Palestinians which can hardly be imagined without witnessing it. On top of all of that, the regime in Tel Aviv indulges, with regularity, in a process which it cynically terms 'mowing the lawn'. This involves the carpet-bombing of the world's largest open-air concentration camp in Gaza and the testing of new weapons (many of which are illegal under international law) on the children of that unfortunate place. The last 'mowing of the lawn' took place in 2014 and killed 2200 Gazans, including 500 children.

If you imagine that all of this has 'nothing to do with us' then you are sadly mistaken. The wheels of this evil project were set in motion by our Westminster government in 1917 - just 2 years before the 'heroic' Secretary of State for War, Winston Churchill, sent British tanks onto the streets of Glasgow to crush a strike of workers who saw themselves as neither Catholic nor Protestant, neither Rangers nor Celtic.
Reading through this thread I was not unaware that a number of contributors appeared to be as horrified as I was by some of the stuff written here, but were perhaps biting their tongues in order to avoid a reaction.
I don't have any such qualms as I rarely post here so bring it on.

I guess that’s one way of looking at it :rolleyes:

[Keith_M]

I thought Hibs played really well for large parts of the game and Rocky, as ever, was immense.

I think his performance was down to the fact that his family were there supporting him in the West Stand. :greengrin

He better keep it up. Don't want flags burning in the West (stand).

So close to 10 pages.... so, so close...

You go to many old firm matches then yeah?

You also have to hate Israel, Israelis apart from any playing for us. Poor Shelly and the baby. Wouldn't like to be them when a proportion of this thread see them.

[Firestarter]

Did the hun have an Israeli goalie though, is the obvious question here...

No, they do have a Gazza Strip though.

[DarlingtonHibee]

Zzzzzz... Pack this thread in.

[John_R_Corbett]

Did the hun have an Israeli goalie though, is the obvious question here...They did at one point, maybe the waver was reminiscing of the bygone glory days and EBT's of the previous club of that name.

We're guaranteed a tie vs Beitar Jerusalem next year after this thread :greengrin

That isn't the point at all. Not wishing to see a flag which represents a nation which has carried out a fifty year long illegal occupation, amongst many other human rights abuses, is not the same thing as hating Israelis/Jews. Many Israelis and many Jews around the world are also opposed to the policy of successive Israeli governments. It isn't a question of hating anybody; it's about the actions of the Israeli government. Their flag is just something I would prefer not to see at Hibs matches.

[G B Young]

I was in hospitality today and Marciano’s wife came through with quite a few people. I would suggest (without knowing) that this group had theflag with them.

I've read an interview with her (in the Evening News I think) where she says her family come over on occasion to watch Rocky in games and love the atmosphere at Easter Road. With their first child now just a few weeks old it seems by far the most likely explanation that family members were over to visit, hence the flag. Anyone who sees a problem there is getting too worked up.

[Bristolhibby]

Does a flag represent people?

Do people represent their states flag?

Can you love Israelis and Israel but hate Zionism?

Can you love your country, but hate the actions of your government?

Can you play for Hibs and be a proud Israeli?

[rodhibs55]

No, they do have a Gazza Strip though.

I am pretty sure Govan resembles the Gazza strip.

Yes 10 pages!

[Pretty Boy]

10 pages and I’m now getting ads for Israeli Bonds appearing on my tablet.

Tbh I’m not sure we need an Israeli Bond, the arguments about a black Bond are heated enough without bringing Israel into it.

[basehibby]

The obvious answer is that it was there as a symbol of support for our goalkeeper surely?!?

The long shot is that said brain-dead moron had some idea that this would wind up the Celtic support...

Not in the slightest - Rocky has been with us how many months ? How many games has he played?

Quite a lot yes? So - anyone with a genuine desire to show support to our keeper by bringing his national flag along to the game has had plenty of opportunity to do so. But they didn't bother until there just happened to be a big controversy all over the international news the week before involving Israel - and they didn't bother until one of our rivals was visiting who it was likely to get a rise out of. Coincidence??? Nah! Devilment? Yes - most likely - and of the stupid ignorant and embarrassing variety.

Can we not have a separate thread for those people who continually want the threads they're reading closed down? One person could start it off with 'This thread should be closed down' and everyone else could chip in repeatedly with replies about how pointless and boring the thread is and how it should be closed down.

Circumstantial and conjecture, m'lud.

As is the "family was there" line.

Munich DVD. What are you on about?

He's slavering about some Hollywood trash flick which he imagines bears some relation to reality.

How about an Israeli flag with "We run the Capital" across it for the derby?

I think you're looking for the sausage roll thread, son. I'm sure you'd have a useful contribution to make there.

The documentary about the murder of the Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics, narrated by Michael Douglas? I've seen it. It was certainly a tragic episode, but I'm not sure what that documentary tells us about the history of the Arab-Israeli problems? As a piece of history it's flimsy to say the least. Strange to bring that up.

The Spielberg movie starring Eric Bana. You are thinking about One Day in September.

Keep your inappropriate apostrophes off this thread. I assume that you didn't attend school at all - certainly not the punctuation and grammar classes anyway. :-D
