Hi Nattia It is not about racism against Asian at all. You have understand that, all those recruitment agencies whether in Dubai or in other Gulf counties are run by people who originally aren’t from the Gulf countries, they usually run by people are from Western countries, or other non-Gulf countri...
"it make for anybody from the civilised part of the world to come into this shithouse" Martin, your message tells me about what type of person you are – it’s a shame that you are living in a foreign country, but yet still have that intolerant attitude toward the country that feeds you. Mat...
I know from experience that the majority of Western people are just and peace-loving folks. I know they’d stand up against racism or unfair treatment to another human being. However, what is always puzzling me is that, Western people haven’t done anything that is noticeable (large protest similar to...
Israeli warplanes and helicopters pounded the Gaza on Saturday, killing at least 205 people in the bloodiest one-day death toll in 60 years. USA response is, “Israel should avoid killing civilians.” You get be kidding. However, when Palestinians try to fight off the occupation, they call them “terro...
Dear Twilight First of all, my heart goes out to both Palestinian and Jewish people, they are good people – I wish they sort out this terrible conflict that has been destroying both countries, economically and socially. My dear friend, please let me give you this simple example, If I come to your ho...
Ariengang you are right in there in term of the importance of lands to Arabs. In their traditions, one has to fight to death in order regain/protect a land. This tradition is deeply ingrained in their cultures and will be there forever. Land in the Arabs cultures is like a supreme honour that must b...
I cannot comment on what you said mainly because it’s what you want to do in life. My principle always has been to respect individuals’ choices and lifestyles.
Here is a brief history about how Israel came about according to Wikipedia “Early recognition of the Zionist movement The British Balfour Declaration of 1917 both advanced the Zionist movement and gave it legitimacy. The US Congress passed the first joint resolution stating its support for a homelan...
project3030, you seem to have sense of humour hehehe I have to say that the majority of ordinary people in the West especially where I live (NZ) are peace-loving, compassionate and aren’t afraid to make a stand against injustice. In fact there will be a large protest hold tomorrow against what is ha...
There are seemed to be few people in this forum fully knew that what Israel has been doing to the Palestinians is wrong, inhumane and unjustifiable. Please, stop calling those people who have the courage to stand up and speak against injustice anti-Jewish. The world all over has come to the realizat...
Knight, my friend. Your input has been educational. All Muslims knew that the closest religion to Islam is the Jewish one. They are incredibly similar. So there is no dispute in there. Arabs or Muslim in that matter don’t hate Jewish just because of their religion, no my friend. Jewish people throug...
Guys, some of you here remind me by my high school time (it was fun though hehehe), when we used to bickered over little things, and tit for tat was the ritual. Why are you so fixating on religions, nationality, colours and all these irrelevant issues? Come on, let’s go beyond that. We all are decen...
“It seems you may have been influenced by "liberalist left winger" propaganda while living in some Western country which makes you accept gays and faggots.” Sorry guys if this is off-topic, I just have to reply to Muslimbangladeshion this one. Muslimbangladeshi, my dear friend, you sound a...
I’d like to conclude this thread First of all thank you very much for all your inputs, much appreciated. If you can remember one of the major international issues that happened just right before the 2008 Chinese Olympic. It was the Tibet issue. Majority of all Westerns countries severely criticized ...
However, Western government criticisms were flaming against the Chinese until Georgia and Russian conflict engulfed all their attention . Now compare that with what the Israeli government has been doing toward the Palestinian people and the massacre that is taking place so we speak ( over 400 peopl...
Dutchman, my friend “the Lebanese army moved into a Palestinian refugee camp and killed hundreds” That’s exactly what am saying, the world don’t give it damn about the Palestinians’ lives. “blowing yourself up in markets or sending thousands of rockets onto Israeli cities in not the way” You know as...
Your blog is inaccessible. Israel cannot defeats Hamas because there will be another Hamas sooner or late who will fight for their freedom and lands back. What I find appalling is that USA has been blocking every UN resolution to stop the overt massacre and violation of Palestinians human right and ...
Choco, you hit the nail right on the head. You dead right in there They are just a punch of showy, sloppy, uneducated, primitive, self-served, womanizer leaders. They are so good at spending the oil money. These ugly large bellies leaders have to make a tangible stand, and say to the world and to Is...
An intelligent British man, who I see as a father figure had once told me this story. A long time ago some smart folks discovered that they had enough of fighting with the Palestinians, so they came up with a genius plan that, let’s get rid of the Jewish by bringing them over to Palestine so they co...
nformation on Wiki should always be taken with a pinch of salt. It is submitted by the general public, is not substantiated nor reliable and has not come from approved sources. Exactly! A bit weird from a guy who claims: One of my majors at the University was Media Studies, so I know how they opera...
What I find interesting is that the Media and some people in some Western countries accuse migrants of just keeping to themselves and not putting efforts to integrate into the local culture. But from what I’ve been hearing from my friends in the Gulf is, Westerners are mainly interact with their fel...
yeah , I noticed from the earlier thread " Shocking racisms in Dubai" that expats should really think about it now, if you guys arent happy in dubai and complain about every little thing why staying here? leave some room for others to come and experience it, leave some space for UAE citiz...
Can someone help me to understand that, how come people in the Gulf countries haven’t been protesting in solidarity with what has been happening to the Palestinian people, when thousands of people worldwide are protesting. I know there had been demonstration of only less than 500 people that took pl...
UAE government has to ensure that its citizens have the priority to jobs if they meet the jobs’ criteria, just like what other smart governments do around the world. In Australia and New Zealand, if citizen meet jobs’ criteria then companies must employ the citizen first. However, I think its impera...
The Arabs are far from united and like DK says it will never happen. All the Arabs are interested in, is "borders" i don't agree on it. what u said is true in their current state. but arab countries CAN unite under few strong leaders. You are dead right on that. Strong leaderships who are...
It’s beyond ridiculous and ironic when a leader of country whose country represents everything is evil and inhumane, preaches about morality and evil. If one examines Israel’s strategies and intention toward the Palestinians, it’ll be obvious to find out that Israel has been doing exactly the same a...
