Ah yes, the glorious sectarian Bahraini army made up of Paki's, and defended by the U.S.A's fifth fleet is amazing indeed.

Egypt's army is a source of national pride, the only constant. It is the hopes of tens and tens of thousands of applicants who want to attend it while most will never.

It is a highly professional, competent, and capable army, that serves Egypt first and encompasses the entire Egyptian society. It is not without problems, but it is the rock which Egypt and it's people lean on in times of difficulty.

I think the U.S.A's fifth fleet is far more impressive than the Egyptian army, also more professional, competent and capable. Somehow I don't think laughing at a country being defended by a fleet of the most powerful and technologically advanced country on earth is really astute.

Of course the USA is the most powerful nation on earth, I never said the Egyptian army was better. I am laughing at a country that needs the USA to protect them. It is humiliation to have another country (one that will never bring good to the arab world) protecting you.

Of course an Israeli will call it astute as it guarantees that country won't do anything outside the USA's influence and interests (Israel).

Don't you have an olive tree to cut down?

I never understood why we let Israeli's post on this subreddit.

Consider the fact that the American supplied and bought Egyptian army is not allowed to send armoured forces into the Sinai by order of Israel and in modern times has only been used against Gaza and other Egyptians.

I never understood why we let Israeli's post on this subreddit.

  1. This is racist. Consider this a warning.

  2. This is not a state with border control. It's an American website, on the internetz. Mods can't 'let' anyone in or out, even if we wanted to. Never mind attempting to ban an entire nationality.

  3. Israelis*, not 'Israeli's'. Your grammar is lacking.

I like having Israelis post here. I feel its the only thing that makes us unite together.

[–]strl -2 ポイント-1 ポイント 前

Like IRL.

Since when is "Israeli" a race ?

Hating Israelis isnt racist, its xenophobic maybe but not racist. Israelis are not a race.

[–]Egyptdaretelayam 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

This is the legal definition:

The term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction, or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin...1

Racism has taken on a much more inclusive definition of discrimination. Besides, it's not just xenophobic to want to prevent an entire group of people from posting here, it's disgusting. Just like if he didn't want Palestinians posting here, which is also disgusting and racist.

[–]Arab WorldRedhawk1000 4 ポイント5 ポイント 前

Based on that definition the UN does not have an official definition.

Also, the vast majority of the Arab World doesnt recognize Israel - its not a racist issue - they're Palestinians or Europeans to us. Its a problem against the land claim not the people. We don't consider "Israeli" to be a nationality since we do not acknowledge its existence. Its all called Palestine to most Arabs.

I can't believe we are agreeing on Zionism on a subreddit called /r/arabs

[–]Egyptdaretelayam 2 ポイント3 ポイント 前

I don't really understand what you mean by the first sentence. Clearly it does have a definition, and I've just linked to it.

Redhawk1000, aboos eedak ya 3ammi, let's stay on topic and discuss the actual issue. I agree with you that Arab lack of recognition of Israel is not a racist issue. But telling me that we should stop an entire nationality from posting here is. No one was talking about if Arabs not recognizing Israel is racist or not.

Secondly, 7abeebi I do not agree with Zionism. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY YOU BROUGHT IT UP. Why do you keep bringing up issues that have nothing to do with the discussion? I am not a Zionist, I am a staunch anti-zionist, but we should still allow Israeli nationals to post here.

Third minor point - almost half of the population of Israel has nothing to do with Europe (Mizrahi Jews). They're Jews from Arab/Eastern lands. So I wouldn't say Israelis = Europeans (Zionism is a European colonial project though). Also let's not forget that 20% of the Israeli population are Palestinian Arabs ('48 Arabs).

Raami points out that if we banned every racist on this sub there wouldn't be too many people around here. I'm inclined to think he has a point.

That said, our friend /u/bikbashy is clearly a tool.

The only thing stopping me from carrying out mass cleansing of the retards and racists of this place.

[–]Egypt-Arab LeagueEgySisi 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

You're the tool. Bikbashy is just standing up for his countries against all of you self hating arabs

[–]zurthen 3 ポイント4 ポイント 前

I am laughing at a country that needs the USA to protect them.

You are forgetting that the only reason Egypt can have such a large army is because the US provides a third of their military expenditure.

Wow, so insulting, no really, I'm crying right now. I'm still more impressed by the fifth fleet then by an army which thinks body builders are a sign of strength and quality.

[–]Arab World Lebanonmomentum77 3 ポイント4 ポイント 前

Look, i'm not defending the other guy, but you're obviously not getting his point.

[–]strl -1 ポイント0 ポイント 前

I don't think he got the point of the post if he feels the need to compare Bahrain's defenses to Egypt's, especially given the fact that the Egyptian army is kept afloat thanks to America and that Israel did a lot in the last year to make sure America did not stop its aid to the Egyptian army. The belief that the Egyptian army is independent from America is beyond ridiculous.

    A sort-of non-sequitur in response to "I never understood why we let Israelis post on this subreddit".

    Looks pretty weird but I am actually sort of drunk so that gives it a pass to my mind.

    Our parliament isn't much better.
