New Year cancelled.

[Ludlow]

U read too much jewish newspapers......

[PositiveRate876]

It's not like the fireworks could be seen thru the fog anyway.
Might just as well call the weather cancellation an act of solidarity.

Dead as a doornail in AMM, too.
Even the Russian hookers in the hotels are complaining...not that I would know much about this, of course

[buba]

so how come AUH went through with the celebrations???

[Flying Spag Monster]

Simple, the Sheikhs kids probably had front row seats to see Shakira in AUH...

[surely not]

Yup it was a great night in AUH, plenty of food, grog and live music.

Agree with the sentiment of UAE support for Palestinians, but there aren't too many Israelis in UAE to inconvenience!!!!!

[noflare]

The guy is broke!.....Fireworks are expensive!!
Plus he is pissed at having to sell off some of his toys to AUH!

Hamas/Palastine my Ass!

This thread has taken a sectarian and a racist twist in full violation of the rules of these forums and should be closed down, as for those idiots of you that have no respect for the dead women, children and elderly have some shame for you are no better than ****e you speak.

The cancelation has nothing to do with being Christian, Muslim or Jew it has everything to do with a sign of respect, for only Civilians suffer in such conflicts, so you are all upset because you didnt get to drink your booze and get pissed and sleep with your russian hookers big deal, yet 400 people are dead and 2000 injured.

I wonder if you would have celebrated NYE if this was in the USA/UK or in your nick of the wood???, your all absolutly disgusting and as for those that are condoning what the Genocide of the Palestinian people I tell you there is a god and for you will eventually have to answer to him and remember Palestine is occupied and under UN and Geneva convention an occupied people are allowed to resist an occupation by what ever means they have, maybe you need to read up on your UN and Geneva convention.

Further more it wasnt Hamas that has contineud its aggression remember Israel is the one violating in exccess of 1000 UN resolution in the past 40 years and also it is the agressor when it kidnaps members of the Palestinian parliments as well as kills and tortures civilians and thats just in Palestine and need we mention Lebanon, and resolution 425, 1701 and so and so forth, maybe ready some history for it was Israel that blew up the St George Hotel and killed god knows how many British Soldiers in the 1940s or have you forgotten that part of History, perhaps you only have selective perceptions or better still you have no brains at all.

I managed all three. No wait, I didn't actually sleep... bugger. Anyway I managed to have fun AND observe a minute of silence for our Pals.

I tell you there is a god and for you will eventually have to answer to him

No there isn't. No tooth fairy either. Or Santa (sorry!). The sooner everyone stops believing in fairy tales the sooner rubbish like what these lot are doing to each other over there will end. There's always religion involved, isn't there?

Weren't Hamarse and what's the other lot.... Fatter? Weren't they at each others' throats not so long ago? Loads of innocents killed but you didn't hear anyone crying out in anguish then. All very selective isn't it?

[fourgolds]

Wannabee Aviator , your origonal sentiment is correct. This post is turning political and therefore should be moderated. However dont say the right thing and then add your farthermore opinion about Hammas in contravention of what you your self had just suggested. There are too sides to every story. We only get one in this part of the world. I think its time for the moderator to intervene.

[s8grn]

wannabe-aviator - you seem to forget the disco's, bars, restaurants and buses that have been blown up by arseholes in the name of religion plus the deaths of countless innocent Israelis. Get down off your soap box and read the ****e that you've written which I find personally offensive.

Long may the security barrier stand and prevent innocent lives being taken.

[surely not]

Now Mr. Wannabe I think you have scored one big own goal in yr last post.

I wonder if you would have celebrated NYE if this was in the USA/UK or in your nick of the wood???, your all absolutly disgusting and as for those that are condoning what the Genocide of the Palestinian

Many of us remember watching the street parties being held as the tragedy that was the Twin Towers was concluding. They weren't a pre organised bash to celebrate a new year, they were parties specifically to celebrate 1,000's of deaths.

So please do not try to put moral blackmail on me for having enjoyed a night out with my wife to celebrate the start of a New Year and to wish for calm and understanding of peoples differences everywhere.

Trawl back through my posts and you wll see I used to often speak out against the policies of the Israeli Govt towards Palestinians. Strangely my utterings were every bit as effective as the cancellation of the New Year celebrations...................as in they had no effect whatsoever on the situation.

I hope that eventually the situation will be resolved, but it doesn't seem to be on the cards any time soon. Too many bitter memories on both sides, and intollerance levels that are not abating with time seem to be the problem as much as anything else.

"Act of solidarity with palestinian people...."
Really...!?!!
Just one question:
What did the arab world to try to solve this palestinian-israeli conflict for the last 40...50 years, and to try to give peace a chance for those palestinian people.....????

And by the way,Where is the act of solidarity for all the civilian& innocent iraqi people killed everyday by those suicide attacks in Iraq...?
Politic my friends politic nothing else.....

I believe the Egyptians brokered the current "peace deal."
