I found 2 kids fighting over something of interest and one had the upper hand. I pacified them and and centered on the most aggrieved, I asked him should I cut off the head of the other? he stopped crying immediately. His eyes popped and he screamed NO! NO!! NO!!! I then asked him but why? he has just hurt you. He replied with a snap, "who then will I play with when you cut off his head?" The lesson here is obvious. If we continue on the hate line historically, politically,...we shall never be happy inhabitants of the planet earth.

Stop having Arab-Israeli talk here amigos because, there are so many points which anyone can bring as well like I am a Persian-Afghan zorastrian who lives in the UK because of being non muslim my family have been suffered a lot in Iran and my half family has been forced by talibanis to accept Islam which they denied and had to pay their death .
so, if we all just forget the past that will be better for everyone unless you wanna bring conflicts all around the world.

Why the hell people always start talking about their personal problems here ? this article is about "Racism" not "Terrorism".
I am neither a Jew nor a Muslim but I think they should stop fighting because there is no point to have a war . Also , to my dear Anti-Jew friends here I would like to say that If you call Israel a terrorist then Who's Hamas,PLO & other 72 Islamic Terrorist Organisations to you ? A charity Organisation ? or you just wanna overview the fact that Palestine TV shows 24/7 Anti-Israeli programms and brainwashed Childrens who wants to be a suicide bomber .
If, they kill any innocent human being is bad and they must stop that but, for that you should realise your mistakes too . It's not good to blame Israel,USA,UK,Jews,Christians or others for the trouble going on in your countries .

Highly pigmented people are discriminated against everywhere on the planet. There are no safe havens. It is simply a matter of degree...meaning some places are worst than others. The darker you are the more hated you are and that is the sad fact of the backward world we no live in. Blacks are hated the most, brown people (arabs, indians, etc) are hated less, and those with the least pigment are most accepted. The hate for pigment is so pervasive that among blacks and browns, the darkest are the most discriminated against and the lighter ones are prized. This is the global legacy of european invasions across our planet. Many like to criticize the U.S. but the U.S. is one of the planets most advance white dominated jurisdictions in terms of race relations.

We can improve, we can be less tribal and it is people of goodwill that has moved us from where we use to be to where we are today. We have long to go, but we are heading towards a day where we can live as ONE SPECIES.

Racial abuse in any aspect, any counrty, and in any club should not be tolerated.This disgusts me as well as a mojority of the population. This needs to stop and Refs are not going to stop games for this racial abuse, authority figures need to resond to this; taking measures like they did at White Heart Lane.

Remember Europe still has nazi Germany and antisemitism in them, but they know its not politically correct so they know not to tell everyone there thoughts. But for some reason they think its ok to express it on a football field and at a lazio Roma game. I do have Italian blood and I went through this faze but I have meet some Jews and I think they are great respectable people, and I think you must back them, because if you were getting persecuted you would want them to support you. They are not sub human if anything they are smarter, never underestimate others because you will probably get tricked if you think you are smarter then them then you will probably loose.

Real life promoting education is the need of the hour. Mere literacy equips people to read, write and earn livelihood but education is that and much more. During our brief tenure on the Planet we need to respect fellow humans made in the image and likeness of our Creator.

I am not an Arab, a Muslim, or even a Christian. I am a second generation American with Buddhist religious roots on my father's side and a member of the Seminole nation on my mother's side.

I do not condone the violence that many non-state groups have heaved towards Israel.

That said, I don't understand how anybody with a thinking mind can see Israel as anything but a racist, extremist, uber-nationalist theocratic state.

I have a challenge for any American zionists: Leave this country, go to your "rightful homeland" if you believe that this is the truly the case. If the American Jewry believes so strongly in the social/racial/religious hypotheses that Israel predicates the justification for it's existence on; then give American Indians the same considerations and GTFO. We were here first, you attacked us and continue to attack us, GTFO.

But see, I can recognize that it's 2012 and that shouldn't be the point. Claims to "rightful homelands" in a fully globalized economy and society are essentially moot in the first world. Why is it that international Zionists think they have an immutable right to that chunk of desert when they seem to have no issue with occupying and living in the "rightful homelands" of thousands of other peoples? Why is it that when other peoples with claims to "rightful homelands" wanted to expel all of their Jewish citizenry, it was anti-semetic (whatever that means), but it's totally acceptable for Zionists in 'Israel' to oust religious and ethnic minorities from their "homeland"?

Cut the propaganda, stop with the false victimhood, it's annoying. It's getting pretty bad when Americans with no inherent interest in Israel are getting fed up with your incessant self-victimization. They force-feed this whole boo-hoo for the Jews thing starting in elementary schools here in the US for months at a time, but the victims of Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, and literally a thousand other despots gets no more than a short paragraph in our history books.

We are starting to see through the farce.

There are forces in this world who use different methods to distract attention of others so that others will not pay much attention to what they are doing. One method is inciting people against each other. Platini recieves orders from such forces not to take a radical measure which could annihilate those who provoke others on racial or religious grounds. We have to pay attention to those who organize such ugly theatre from behind and not to those intellectiually weak fans who get manipulated by evil forces.
