What a load of cobblers.

Teribus, you stated that if someone else isn't using their land and you need more, then you have a right to go and take a piece.

Your comments came in this context.

Mousethief said "Let's talk about the Israelis, too. Do they want peace? The Palestinians aren't encroaching on a new piece of Israeli land every 3 months."

referring to CURRENT settlement issues.

So in the context of CURRENT settlement issues, the following exchange took place:

"Mousethief you have not answered my questions at all:

Question 1: for all those chattering on about stealing land every three months: "Why not what are the Palestinians doing with it? Sweet FA as far as I can see."

Answer 1: If you're not using your back 40 acres, I can steal it from you? Sweet. That's just fucked up, dude.

Well no it is not actually Dude, if you live in a very small country with an increasing population, there is no land that can be allowed to go to waste."

In other words Teribus, you stated that the settlements are fine because Israel needs to expand.

And that, in German, is called Lebensraum.


Nice to see the tough guy plead "context" when he's banged to rights - but tough luck, guy, the context was very clear.

Unless perhaps your English comprehension needs work ... hmmmm?


And now here comes Keith to save the day - Richard Hammond to Teribus' Jeremy Clarkson ...
