Nice scuffle in Cardiff on Saturday I see during a bit of a Palestinian protest march.

Probably not best idea to march down the street where theres about 10 pubs in a row (Mill Lane if anyone knows Cardiff at all).

Apparently, started by a few locals telling them to 'go home and protest'. No comment on that one but it didn't go down well apparently.

I really find this business of retweeting dead bodies on twitter very tiresome, I have binned 50 folk I followed due to this.

I know, Twiter is now a Facebook of propaganda.

Was at Edinburgh at the weekend, massive circlejerk Palestinian protest, could barely pass through it. Thought it was George Galloway for a minute, guy was going nuts at the Israelis.

An interesting perspective.

Israel continues to defend itself by blowing up more schools and UN shelters. Whoever thinks it is justifiable for Israel to slaughter children and women (that includes insisting they have "no choice") I hope you burn in hell with the Israeli terrorist forces.

1000 civilians killed in Ukraine.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians killed in Syria.
Your hypocrisy, reasoned arguments and desires have been noted. Thank-you for your contribution.

What are your thoughts on the Knock on Roof warning style bombing?

0.05 is the Knock
1.15 is the Hit

I think the video editing is improving. You can barely see the join at 1:09 to 1:10.

If there are Hamas targets in there, Why warn them?
If there are Civilians in there why are you bombing them?

Because the weaponry is stored in civilian locations. The bombing is purportedly in order to destroy Hamas' military capability.

Reminds me of my student days, these Palestine-Israel arguments.

Circular arguments that go on and on with no end in sight... just like the real conflict.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians killed in Syria.

And the international community brings sanctions against Syria.

1000 civilians killed in Ukraine.

And the international community brings sanctions against Russia.


Thousands killed in Gaza by Israel (supplied, funded and backed by the Americans) and what happens.

Bad things happen all over the world but that doesn't make it right. Like it or not, any country backed by the Americans will be held to higher standards of accountability than other countries....
