Trump is afraid as he knows he is a poor orator and will probably make a fool of himself

Why would this time be different from previous times? So far he has done well in the debates.

Yes, he has done well in the debates and he will probably do well in not debating. He seems to be able to fall in a pile of crap and still out smelling like a rose.

I don't care for him, but he is pure genius.

"Genius" is not the right word. Try "crafty" or "sly".

Neither word carries good connotations, as is apt in Trump's case.

If Megan is so lightweight, what are you afraid of Trump?

I've got a friend who's father is a retired judge. He's got a special sticker on his car so police can't stop him. Ever. Another example of how some are above the law, and act like it. No humility.

It's a very sad indictment on the country when some people are awarded immunity from the law.

About those stickers....in a land where forged passports and fake degrees abound, it's a wonder these stickers are not on the open market. Wouldn't that be funny if they were? Imagine the quandary of the police on check points. Needs a few Ja New's to test it out.

It's not that complicated.

Israel demonizers try to make this complicated because of an obsession to oppose the existence of Israel.

Terrorists are murderers.

‘Gentle, kind’ stabbing victim Shlomit Krigman laid to restHundreds attend funeral of 23-year-old killed in Beit Horon by Palestinian terrorists, remember her love of books and ‘great curiosity’; grave is close to that of Dafna Meir, murdered last week

http://www.timesofisrael.com/gentle-and-kind-stabbing-victim-shlomit-krigman-laid-to-rest/

Knives kill regardless the age and gender of the terrorists using them.

If you attempt murder and/or murder bad things may happen.

Interesting we get the coverage of Palestinian terrorists who got what they were expecting and asking for by becoming murderers and not the stories of the Jewish targets of these terrorists.

Next ...

Talking about calling people out for blatant falsehoods and "broadcasting outrageously INFLAMMATORY distortions as truth"..... you continue to equate criticism of Israel with a desire to bring an end to the state of Israel.

Call them demonisers if you must, but do not lie about their agenda. It has been made very clear that the criticism is ALL about the illegal occupation and the inhumanity Israel imposes upon the occupied population....leading to stories such as the OP.

"Mr Ban condemned the attacks but said Israel's settlement-building programme cast doubt on its commitment to the creation of a Palestinian state."

Stop pussyfooting, Mr Ban. Tell it like it is. Or are you afraid that the truth will bring the inevitable "antisemite" accusation? Don't worry about that as most of the world knows the label is simply a coward's tool to hide behind and to divert away from the truth.

"Part of the reason why the front runner of the Republican race is so appealing to the conservative base is that he is an outsider with a “blustering, appalling ignorance of policy”, "

Says a lot about Republicans that ignorance is an appeal factor.

Sanders sounds spot on on everything.

Silly me, I thought it was sustainable use of rubber when taking shredded old tyres and add the stuff to the pavement mixture.

But off course, new rubber is much better

I was looking for someone to mention that.

Yes indeed....meanwhile a mountain of used tyres continues to be an environment hazard.

When you have hundreds of old tyres being discarded every day that are perfect for shredding to use in road construction, it is silly to buy new rubber to make roads.

Great. A truly mutually beneficial relationship. I hope it all goes to plan.

What's Ja New's FB name? I would love for him to see the support he deserves.

If a Morrocan (or whatever nationality) culprit was at the receiving end of a reprisal attack, I would be of the mind, som nam na.

The problem I have with reprisals by hooligan thugs is that they are so often based on ignorance: "Oooh look, a Muslim, lets beat the shit out of him!".

Not the way to go, deekheads.

How about a ship load of rice, since there is an abundance here.

It's not a silly idea at all.

Spend the money to buy surplus rice from government stores, and send the rice, rather than send money, some of which will "get lost in translation", and will be used to buy....RICE for the hungry!

Spend the money easing a problem at home, and still help out over there. It's win-win.

I don't know why this is off-topic.

This is pretty much par for the course for all candidates ...

Hillary did similar to a silent protester holding a tiny sign..

http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2015/11/17/man-holding-protest-sign-removed-from-clinton-event-in-dallas/

I would condemn Hilary for that, as it was also a silent protest and not over the top at all, however, it is still quite different as in Trumps case, the woman was not heckling by sign or speech. The Hilary heckler was heckling with his sign. It was a direct comment to Clinton.

"Salaam, I come in peace", if it is a direct comment at Trump, should make you think about Trump's policies.

You'll get a lot more people buying in when the prize starts at $40 million and rapidly goes up. It's designed to make money for the states, not to make millionaires. People from all over the world are going to be buying into this.

Cheers.

I take your point, and perhaps my arbitrary 10 million was too low from a marketing POV.

The fact remains, that after your first say 20 million, an extra million in your account doesn't increase your happiness or comfort by the same margin as the first million did.

There are two points behind my stance. In any society, it is better to have a large number of fairly wealthy people than to have just a few obscenely wealthy people. The economy of the society works much better with the former, and thus is more desirable for society.

Same goes for comfort and happiness. Far better to have many happy and comfortable people than a few who, in reality, are no more happy or comfortable with the extra hundreds of millions than if they had a single hundred million (or less).

Never miss an opportunity to take a shot at the US.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot???

Those manure-coloured spectacles you wear make your posts look silly.

The PC crowd sure have the EU buy the cods.

Have you seen the outrage from TVF members at the blackfaced Thai woman on the whitening cream advert?

It's ok to be offended by that advert, but any outcry at racism towards Muslims is "PC gone mad".

I love technology.

And well done Brit climber guy for going in properly equipped.

Trump urged to apologise after Muslim ejected from campaign rally

Muslim woman ejected from rally

Rose Hamid staged silent protest

Trump supporters suggest it was a stunt

WASHINGTON: -- US Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump is being urged to apologise to a Muslim protester who was forcibly removed from one of his campaign rallies.

Supporters say Rose Hamid’s eviction from the meeting in South Carolina sent a “chilling message” to the Muslim community.

What happened?

The rally took place in the town of Rock Hill in South Carolina.

Ms Hamid stood up in the crowd when Trump suggested Syrian refugees entering the United States were affiliated with militant networks.

The 56-year-old flight attendant and media commentator was wearing a head scarf and T-shirt with the words: “Salam, I come in peace.”

She was then escorted out of the rally by security officers. The crowd jeered as she left.

Ms Hamid, who says she is a registered Democrat, says she did not want to disrupt the proceedings. “I did not want to cause any problems. My goal was to stand up and to let people know that this is not an appropriate way for a presidential candidate to speak.”

Campaign group CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations), with which Ms Hamid has associations, has called on Donald Trump to apologise.

The context

Donald Trump has proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States.

The Republican front-runner for presidential contender has taken a tough stance against ISIL.

What they are saying

The overwhelming majority of reaction in the media and on Twitter has been supportive of Ms Hamid’s action.

Campaigners for Trump, however, say he should not apologise as her intention was to disrupt the rally.

Others, like Tim Carney from the Washington Examiner who was at the rally, says the situation was not as straightforward as it has been described.

Others have questioned the widespread interpretation of the events, describing Ms Hamid as an “activist”.

You say this is NOT APPROPRIATE FOR A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO SPEAK !!!!. You are part of the problem in the USA. You want to muzzle peoples freedom of speak because it is not along your ideology . You are part of the problem "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS" and this has to stop.

Trump is just speaking his mind and has a right to Good. bad or indifferent . And you do not have a right to muzzle him

In your previous post, you said she should have been kicked out, ie shut up from protesting.

Contradictory, much?

"Mr. Sek revealed that Thailand had been closely monitoring the situation in Syria since the crisis erupted in 2010"

I don't believe it for a second. Ignorance of world events is systemic in Thailand.

See ree ah...arai wa?

So, he's accused, by the US, of fighting the people the US want to be fought?

Tough break.

I think it's ridiculous that it gets so big.

Nobody needs 1.2 Billion. Sure, they would probably become quite charitable, but then again, maybe not.

Spread it around. Cap it at 10 million and let the prize pool trickle down to make the lower prizes worth more, and to have more lesser prizes.

Surely 500 millionaires is better than one billionaire for the country?

It's NOT a judenstar at all. Jews do not have a monopoly on yellow. The six-point judenstar is quite different from the Wal-Mart mass-produced kindergarten card advertising multi-purpose things they have got.

There's an antisemite under every bed, isn't there.

Really? Because they do not know a Star of David from a vesica pisces or a platonic solid is weak intellectual refuge. Of course their intent remains. It is even worse because the underlying intention remains intact but instead of outright co-opting the actual Star of David they would come up with their own, one that is... oh, just a silly ole symbol from a wal mart kit. This argument reinforces the nonsense that the liberal left imbibe in- they drink the cool-aide that informs them if they can announce an argument they will demand the world believe it. My sister, the drama queen, was notorious for this. She would announce an angle to an issue, one that seemed not the best argument but the most opportune, then come hell or high water she found herself arguing such stupid things, and actually believing her arguments.

No matter what the ignorance of these people its self evident that they intended to mimic Jews either for mercenary opportunity or derision; either way, they employed their faith in the service of another symbol for tactical advantage- clearly betraying/finessing even their own symbolic injunctions. I don't mind opponents arguing all day long that I am wrong about the nature of what happened here but to argue the yellow badge is no more than... coincidence... it has nothing at all to do with Jews, etc. forces me to confront a much uglier impression of others on this forum. Digesting even. In fact, this concludes our exchanges with such posters.

You are doing exactly what you accuse your sister of doing. Worse, you're doing it on a very precarious foundation. They did not know what a proper star of David looks like? Not only are you certain of their unstated intent, you are certain of their ignorance. It is far more likely that those blazons were simply chosen to be like those "Hello, I'm Peter" sticky labels handed out at conventions. I've seen these card stars used for exactly that purpose. They are bright and multi-pointed to attract the eye (which is what they are designed to do!).

You started out certain of their intent based on nothing but the colour of some card, the shape having a number of points, and she being Muslim., but when I pointed out that the stars were definitely not judenstars at all, you had to make up that they were ignorant! I think you should apologise to your sister for being a pot and calling her black.

This is about as obvious an act as imaginable. Consider video 1 where we see Hijab Girl and Judenstar Boy sitting conveniently behind one of the only two open seats behind Trump, allowing full frontal view. (I have yet to determine if these seats were picked/selected). At 1 minute we can clearly see Hijab Girl taking or giving orders on her cell phone. At 2 minutes into video #1 below Judenstar Boy removes the Judenstars from pocket. By 3 minutes we can see both now wearing the Judenstars identifying themselves with "muslim" written in the Star of David (kudos for this ballsy move). If any think this is coincidence they are fools. There is so clearly a gradual escalation while all the while every single person around them ignores them, even the person filming this video 1.

By video 2 we now understand why Hijab Girl was treated so. Personally, I think it reflected poorly on the group to even thumbs' down her, but this is a perspective of the armchair. Everyone knows since Ten Days That Shook The World crowd hysteria is easily manipulated (Hell, Nero and others realized this collective pathology even earlier); certainly the Muslim Brotherhood Handlers (CAIR et al) of Bombboy and Hijab Girl know this. (Edit: I now note in another video Hijab Girl cites and discusses how the crowd evidenced a somewhat hateful rhetoric, etc. I think she is right, but I think it was predictable and desired on her end. Bravo to her from a purely military point of view. It was a tactical success for sure).

In video 2, below, we can see clearly what antedates the crowd's disgust with this simple silent testimony of her faith... physical confrontation of the law with an upstart conspirator. This was a choreographed escalation calculated to employ Trump's own greatest asset, the media, in their insurgent show stealing. Those that continue to follow this eagerly and still argue passionately, on both sides, are those who can no longer be reached by the other point of view, including me. Saying this woman did not contrive this is akin to saying the sky is really milk. Of course its not.

Note on the hijacking of history by the use of this Yellow Badge: this is a terrible offense and minimizing of history- this muslim women wearing the Yellow Badge, Judenstern. This device, to mark Jews, began under...(drum roll) muslim masters over 1,000 years ago. It continued as a means of marking Jews, later found a home in Europe, and found its infamy under Hitler. Hitler had infamous allies in his quest for world domination and to cleanse the world of those of wear the Judenstern. State actors are well known but less well know is the vital if not motivational role Islam played in allying with the Third Reich. No less than the Grand Mufti himself allied with Hitler in cleansing the Jews. Today, it is still not uncommon to see Nazi flags variously on muslims lands in the Levant. The Jews are doctrinally hunted, ground to subjugation or death, or driven to exile for millennia by Islam. The Yellow Badge is the symbol of this. The Jews placed no badges on others historically, cleansed no religion, and any analogy is not only false but outrageous. https://vimeo.com/151270729

It's NOT a judenstar at all. Jews do not have a monopoly on yellow. The six-point judenstar is quite different from the Wal-Mart mass-produced kindergarten card advertising multi-purpose things they have got.

The evidence of disruption was there.....You!!! Rose Hamid!!! ...YOU, purposely went to this rally, with that in mind, as you knew you wouldn't be welcome.

Nice try....

Exactly. I am sick and tired of this Western "Who me?" crap where as long as people think they have a clever cover for action they have cover for status. In other words, as long as JackAs-es think they can articulate a clever excuse for their actions they are therefore provided total cover and can allege anything-- if it makes sense in your own mind the world must believe it. "I am just an innocent muslim woman who got kicked out for... for doing nothing at all. In fact, it was the other people who were staring at me, pointing at me, shouting 'Trump,' 'Trump.' Its their fault, not mine."

I am so sick of all these people. This behavior is not a muslim thing; most would never try this crap anywhere else in the muslim world because they would be beaten to death with a shoe for speaking such BS. This is an American thing where we teach everyone to claim victim hood and afford them goodies and jewels and free stuff because they "feel" hurt. This is an example of "Lawfare," using the existing legal and social constructs of our society to disable and blind us to what is right before us. The goal here is to perpetuate the fallacy that muslims are sacred cows in the US, above circumspection.

Both of you are spouting nonsense.

Standing silently is HARMLESS and non-disruptive.. It's the people that reacted to her STANDING SILENTLY that are idiots and disruptors.

I asked a question in a previous post...thus far nobody dares answer, so I'll ask again: Why was she ejected? Was it for standing. was it for being silent, or was it for being Muslim?.

Are you blind?

Make this in a mosque with a thick Christian cross around your neck, analogous to her headscarf.

Since you will not come out without having lost all your teeth!

You're the second person to compare it with walking into a mosque, and a few have made the comparison to Muslim countries.

A ludicrous analogy, of course, but interesting that you equate a Trump political rally with religion and zealotry.

It was because she started handing out yellow stars with "muslim" written on them, trying to provoke violence.

Provoke violence????

Upon what do you base that rather radical assumption?
