Re: As an Irish Hibs supporter...........

I really don't understand Rangers fans. Some of them seem happy to make Nazi salutes and all that but then some carry Israel flags to games (Possibly the most Jewish country in the world, thus disagreeing with the Nazi 'theme').

An explanation would be kindly accepted if anyone has one.
The reason for the Isreal flags stems from Norn Iron 'tic supporters using the Palenstinian flag. They identify with the 'indiginous population under seige' theme. The 'gers supporters identify with the 'legitimate goverment under attack' theme. I've seen 'tic supporters with Palestinian, Pakistan (for Kashmir), Armenian, Cuban flags. And 'ges supporters with Isreal, India, and Turkey flags. I've often though about logging into a 'tic site creating some bogus 'oppressed' group complete with phony newslink site (think Die Hard 1 where Alan Rickman is naming off all the 'brothers in arms' he wants released) just to see how quick some numbnut gets a flag up.

As for the Nazi salutes, they're just assholes is the best I can come up with.
