Svetonio you know there are exactly the opposite protests too?

And about that holocaust survivor, the only difference between him and Hamas related people is that he wasn't a terrorist back in Germany, and another thing is I'll bet my ass he doesn't live in Israel.

And please stop with those idiotic videos they really don't serve your point.

Bradford witnessed the biggest demonstration in its history yesterday as 5,000 people gathered at a Solidarity for Gaza event in the city's Centenary Square. Speakers including George Galloway and others gathered to denounce the crimes being committed against the Palestinian people in Gaza over the last week.

Palestine must be a sovereign and internationally recognized country.
This is the only way to stop the violence on both sides.

Never mind the fact that there will probably still be grudges on both sides, not to mention the religious fanaticism that Hamas embraces.

In hindsight the UN should have thought twice about placing Israel where it is.   But that's where it was, and there wouldn't be much point in reestablishing it if you put it on Guam.   On the other hand, on Guam things would be more peaceful ~ barring the occasional native uprising ~ which is to say Israel and Palestine wouldn't have a dispute.

My favourite politician ever, Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia, with his friend Yasser Arafat.








Great man of Palestine last salute to the great man of Yugoslavia: Yasser Arafat in front of Tito's coffin, Belgrade 1980






We were learned in basic school to love free Palestine and Palestinian people, and their fight for freedom.
And we are still love Palestine. 
Free Palestine!

The last thing I'm gonna say to you Svetonio cause you're just talking to yourself here and that's all you care about.
I'm up for two states, I really am, what benefit do you think we are getting by occupying these very small piece of land?
We don't live there and it costs a lot of money, you know Israel is supplying electricity and water (yes to the terrorists too). But there are ways to get your freedom, and if they continue this way I hope Israel's aggression will only increase.

I totally agree. Bad on both sides...

I do feel that the Israeli approach is disproportionate, but there is no simple solution, and the biggest problem is that the citizens of Gaza - especially the kids - who just want peace risk being radicalised and filled with hatred for Israel, thus lining up the next generation of terrorists. This is one of the key factors in perpetuating the fight from one generation to the next imo.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Jon Snow has been speaking to youngsters in Gaza City about their lives and how they're coping with living in a warzone. And he also talks to Dr Mads Gilbert - a Norwegian doctor working at al Shifa hospital - who is treating some of the children.

How is it disproportionate? because of the numers of deaths? well I can assure you that if we didn't have that new system Iron Dome Israel would take approximately 3000 missiles up till now, that would hit populated areas and numbers of deaths in Israel could be just the same or even more. So maybe then would it be justified to act as we do?

I mean if a man slaps you in the face do you punch back only if it hurts you?

The spiraling number of children killed in the latest conflict between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas in Gaza has raised international concern.

I have distant Israeli family members and they worry about what the IDF has done in Gaza...

I also attended and observed an Israel/Palestine protest here in Copley Square. The hate and the racism spewed by both sides was horrific... I blame foreign powers for using their proxies here...

I'm in complete support of Isreal here, they have the right to defend themselves from terrorists. The cowards hide amongst the women and children not caring that they put them at risk. I'm so glad our government is 100% behind Isreal.

Okay, Svet, I'm all with the idea of defending Palestinian children from being bombed/beaten/etc., but Arafat was an Censored, not a great man.

This thread should be called "Me posting videos and pictures and reproducing someone else's comments trying to get a visceral reaction from others who make good arguments but which I will conveniently ignore".

Arafat was a pig and I would have loved to kick his ass when he was alive.
