Have worked on an Israeli kibbutz but not of the Jewish faith, more your typical aetheist.

No worries.... but better be careful when discussing religion/god out here (just remembered the teddy bear/teacher incident), enough religious nutters lurking...

unfortunately we cannot question the acts of a moderator

But I have had words with Beardman and he was always polite , of course his convictions annoyed me.. But I accept that being a Medieval person who is brain washed by his society..he knows no other way ... but 'yes men' are equally irritating

People have been banned before for decrying the holocaust ..if fact one person is back under a different name and with a new attitude which is good ..he basically grew up ..

Its take a lot of nerve to come on this site with a single voice ..but I believe he did well and I may not agree with anything he says ..IRL I would shake his hand...

Hopefully it is a temporary ban... which apparently it is ..

Just wondering............. why DO people deny the holocaust?

There is not the slightest doubt that it happened, and my uncle (who was part of a regiment that had first hand experience of finding the horror when they liberated that particular area) always said that things were far worse than the history books have ever recorded.

So denying it is - presumably - a conscious act of aggression designed to antagonise............

Ban him.

Why does a "British Expats" forum need him anyway?

Shouldn't we all be banned then?

You say:


If the UAE do not recognise Israel and it is illegal to support them in any way shape or form, why do the UAE and Israel Co-Sponsor Arsenal Football Club and why does the UAE let an Israeli man have a business here in the form of the Atlantis Hotel?

Double standards the norm

I have said this before,if this was exclusively British membership what a dull dull place it would be-yes even duller

Actually, most times we have good lively discussion is when one of em bladdy foreigners has the audacity to post.

Of course he is trying to antagonise. But there is a party in Brtain which also denies the holocaust and I think if you ban them it only makes them stronger, let them put across their opinions to an extent and then shoot them down for the reactionary, small minded, t**ts they are... What are they denying? That an actual event happened as we have enough evidence and data to prove it or is it to furhter their own political, religious, crack pot beliefs in some way?

Let him back, maybe some sense will be got through to him in some way or other...

The more we log in and return to this site, the more the owners earn from our traffic. They can then sell them to advertisers...

The British expatriate community must be able to respect the place they are residing in. Etisalat and Du ban websites for much less reasons than some of the things I have read here.

Hear what you are saying, but who said I was in the UAE? This is a global website, the Middle East section covers more than the UAE. We have posters in this section from around the world and again, i do not want to go on this forum and see comments that are pro-Israeli if this is the case, don't come onto a global forum. No disrespect intended.

Whatever I say or do you morons will keep spinning it around. Constant bickering and back and forth arguments will not achieve anything. My point is that, this forum operates as a link for British expats in the Middle East, mainly in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE. As I have said before these countries do not recognize Israel and while YOU might recognize it, it is not applied here. When will the British expatriate community learn to respect the host country and keep their opinions in check. Havent you people recently learned from the scandalous misconduct of some of your individuals? Must you know also start getting on the political side of things. This is not a political forum. You ban Beard Man for denying the holocaust, but its okay for you to support the atrocities happening right now in Gaza?
