Oh , and what are the demonstraters doing with Hamas and Isis flags ? , bog paper substitute ?

Re: the misconception of what is good and what is evil
James, we would al like to see the end to all wars.
But sadly it 'aint gona happen.
Theer is an inherent force with in man to dominate where he can, kill all who get in his way.
A fully peaceful world will never exist, the best we can hope for is small wars such as this as bad as they may appear to some.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Where have you seen Hamas and Isis flags ?? Not in any protest march in UK.
An epidemic of lies to cover up and try to justify the mass killing of civilians including thousands of babies and children in Gaza.

is really happening in the real world.

You must have missed the marches in London then Louis, they were clearly visible and commented upon by media and politicians alike, but the Chief Constable of Greater London, said they could have another meaning when asked why the perpetrators were not arrested. Bystanders were warned that they should put down their Union Flags as it could cause a problem with the marchers. Try telling a Yank he cannot wave the Stars and Stripes in his own country, see how far you get!

I don't suppose many on site remember El Al Airlines at Heathrow Airport. This airline flew from Heathrow to Tel Aviv. El Al had top armed security organised by themselves long before British police were armed at Heathrow.

Well James , if he takes after you then indeed he will see only what he wants to see and hear what he wants to hear. Believe me , he missed the . Hamas and Isis flags , banners have been noted at nearly all pro Palestine rallys in practically all European cities.

No with a double masters degree think he has a bit more about him than me. But seeing as you are getting personal now , you trot on.
609fd57600e34_manif_palestine-5315968.jpg can you spot a HAMAS flag in sight at this rally in support of Palestine? that is Bordeaux by the way.
