No. What freedom are you talking about?They were and are absolutely rebelling for their freedom. Context and history agree.
They are terrorists. Don’t excuse the atrocities.And again, context. Committing atrocities in retaliation for atrocities is not the same at "being terrorists for the sake of it".
They have to secure the safety of their people.Agreed with "enough war, it's not working" . . . but Israel is the one in a position to call those shots. e.g., like when they chose not to in 2002.

2002? Ah yes. The Passover massacre…..
Seems like you are doing the same thing you’re accusing me of.I mean, if you're going to ignore context, and cherry-pick. . . then sure. Whatever narrative you want is right, facts, history, and context be damned. You've picked your team and won't allow any reality where you don't feel good backing them I guess.
I don’t know what this means.p.s. "they are terrorists" Explain what Israel is doing, and anything remotely as bad that "the other" terrorists have done. Quantify it, I dare you.
"They have to secure the safety of their people."-. . . again, are you talking about the Palestinians? Because you're comically one-sided in everything you're saying (read: disingenuous or ignorant).
It's amazing how you manage to never reply with anything of substance. You need to update your playbook, the calls are getting stale and predictable.Seems like you are doing the same thing you’re accusing me of.
I don’t know what this means.
Both sides should prioritize safety and well being of their people. Hamas certainly doesn’t.
How would YOU handle Gaza if you were in charge of Israel?
He didn’t give me anything specific to reply to.It's amazing how you manage to never reply with anything of substance. You need to update your playbook, the calls are getting stale and predictable.
it's a legally recognized country.
75% of the UN members recognize it. it's just that america doesn't.
irrelevant. you said there was never a state of Palestine and i showed you that you were wrong and there is and it's a recognized country by most of the UN members.The flag is the flag of the PLO, not of the "state" of Palestine.
The charter for the PLO in the 1960's, when they adopted that flag, includes the destruction of Israel.
This is the answer. Does the UFC accept other non-state flags? I doubt it.Because the USA does not formally recognize Palestine as a country. You could have just googled that.
I’d go even further, this isn’t the Olympics, so why the hell does nationality matter at all? I couldn’t care less. If a fighter wants to wave their flag, cool, let them. But does it really need to be plastered all over their profile? Just announce them as "born in XXXX, fighting out of XXXX" and be done with it.Americans and their obsession with "heritage", i had no idea he was born and raised in the USA, i mean, i dont know much (or care to) about him, professional combat sports are not country-based, its not the Olympics, they should have an USA flag there and move on, born in the USA = American, simple.
To boost sales in those regions. UFC is all about earning and nationality is an easy trigger, especially when it comes to sports.Why turn an individual non-Olympic sport into some weird national pride thing?
Good point. That also explains why they don't allow the Palestinian flag lol it's not like they're a booming market.To boost sales in those regions. UFC is all about earning and nationality is an easy trigger, especially when it comes to sports.
They’re not going to be airing Bryce’s comments on a UFC telecast or website……That’s bullshit. You can’t defend one guys right to suck off Hitler and not let Belal fly his flag.

How would YOU handle Gaza if you were in charge of Israel?
Yes I did. And I already accused you of of goal-post moving for that very reason. Now others are calling you out on your disingenuity. Not surprised. Really poor form.He didn’t give me anything specific to reply to.
You….you have made your own views of Jews known.
They would let him spout his nonsense at press conferences and post fight interviews. They always claim to be free speech these days. This seems very clearly something that should be allowed to meThey’re not going to be airing Bryce’s comments on a UFC telecast or website……
LolYes I did. And I already accused you of of goal-post moving for that very reason. Now others are calling you out on your disingenuity. Not surprised. Really poor form.
Do they afford Belal the same freedom of speech they afford Bryce?They would let him spout his nonsense at press conferences and post fight interviews. They always claim to be free speech these days. This seems very clearly something that should be allowed to me
Theres no way in hell they are going to let either one of them voice anything but their opinions on the fights. Im willing to bet UFC will be giving the media in attendance strict guidelines in terms of questions and topics. The fighters only chance is winning. And I wouldn't be surprised if a game of mic keep away is engaged at some point lolDo they afford Belal the same freedom of speech they afford Bryce?
Hey we can agree.Theres no way in hell they are going to let either one of them voice anything but their opinions on the fights.
