@no1marauder saidIf this is Patzering he's changed up his style a little bit. I see a few new words and ideas. 25% chance it's really someone new but probably not.
Which username were you just using?
Why don't you get the message that the site really doesn't want a dimwitted, racist moron posting on the Forums?
@JJ-Adams
To my knowledge, no evidence supports the claim that the fighters of HAMAS have beheaded the babies.
Moreover, Israel's Defence Forces have publicly announced that they have no such evidence.
Finally, why are you using the chess platform's Forum to make pure political propaganda?
And why do you assume that some chess players here are "supporting" HAMAS?
Even Russia announced now that HAMAS is a terrorist organization.

Gaza has a 50% unemployment rate. The Israel imposed blockade is suffocating the people of Gaza. Terrorism is the symptom of that problem. Address the problem, not the symptom.
There were no beheadings. That was just a lie.

@mott-the-hoople saidI am not aware of Hamas having a history of beheading people.

Do you think all terrorists are the same?
You are an apologist for terrorism. You just have your preference of terrorism. State sponsored terrorism is fine with you as long as our government is doing it.

@jj-adams saidI recognize Hamas as the elected representatives of Palestine but that doesn’t mean I support them.
1. Because this is a debates forum.
2. At least one forum member has said they support Hamas.
But I’m sure you meant someone else.
The post that was quoted here has been removedDid you even read that article? It totally debunks your claims:
"Although the photographs and video footage did originate with the July 2009 mass wedding event, and they do show pre-pubescent girls dressed in clothing resembling bridal garb holding hands with older men, the young girls in these pictures were not being married off to adult males; they were relatives of the brides and grooms (typically nieces and cousins ranging in age from three to eight years old) who were merely ancillary participants in the ceremony, performing a function similar to that of flower girls in western-style weddings."
"None of the news accounts that reported this story made any reference to the brides in these mass wedding ceremonies being only ten years old or younger, a circumstance so unusual to western readers that it surely would have been mentioned had it been true. Moreover, accounts from officials present at the event confirmed none of the women married that day was younger than 16, and most of them were adults (i.e., over 18) by western standards:"

Fool of yourself made, Yoda says.
EDIT: Later in the same article the poster linked to a Western reporter who attended the event wrote this:
"The men and women are sitting. Then the fireworks explode, the cheering begins, and in march the Hamas scouts, bashing drums, looking every inch the future Hamas fighters many will be. Then the grooms, aged about 18 to about 28. They are holding hands with their young nieces and cousins, little girls aged from about 3 to 8, made up to the nines, wearing white wedding dresses.
Up they all go to the stage, the cheering and music grows ever louder. The girls were having the time of their lives, but, getting a little bored after a while, came down off the stage to dance with each other and play games.
Our report on this [wedding event] put it into context, saying that it took place just a mile from the Israeli border and was a message from Hamas about its strength confidence and future fighters. Oh, and that the brides were elsewhere. Pretty straightforward.
It never struck me for a moment that the little girls might later be described in the bloggersphere as the brides! How naive I am.
Dozens, and I mean dozens, of websites took the video of the event and wrote lurid stories about Hamas mass paedophilia with headlines about '450 child brides', and endless copy about how disgusting this was, how it showed how depraved Islam is, et al, ad infinitum. Site after site jumped on the story, linking from one totally wrong load of rubbish to the next.
It showed how much some people want to believe nonsense like this, as it reinforces their prejudices, always a comfortably fun thing to do. But Hamas, and the jihadists do enough terrible things without having to make things up about them. Most of the stuff I read was outright, unthinking, gleeful, Islamophobia from people who clearly knew nothing about Arab popular culture. It's as if they really believe that because there are [real] examples of child brides, it means all weddings are with child brides.
Who would you believe, the reporter who went to the event, or a desperately poor version of citizen journalist, sitting at home, making things up, not checking anything, and either unknowingly or deliberately, writing hysterical anti Islamic nonsense?"
Right wingers are such gullible fools.
