Stig, you should get yourself to this on Saturday. Could be interesting to get the viewpoint of someone who has witnessed apartheid and racially motivated violence. 

 

 

 

Went to this on the back of seeing your post. Sadly there was only about 30 people there and the youngest was about 40.

 

Other than that, the young lady from Palestine did her best but she was very softly spoken. She told of a few experiences and showed a few photos.

 

A lady called Jackie Walker got up and spoke after her and she was very vocal.

 

Apparently they are going to put a video on youtube so you'll all be able to see it for yourselves.

Watching Crufts back and they just said one of them is the national dog of Israel.

 

Presumably it’s allowed to bite all the other dogs but if any of them bark in protest they have to be put down.

 

 

I think you'll find the national dog of Israel is the Disputed Border Terrier.

It's a tough one for me. Israel will always respond disproportionately. But, just take the first four words of that sentence. "Israel will always respond."

 

It would usually beg the question of why give them the motive to respond, if you know it's going to be OTT and slaughter even more innocents. But, then there's the whole robbing land stuff and waging a war against people other than in the conventional sense, which could produce an argument that rocket fire is retaliatory, rather than an initial act of provocation. 

 

But, these arguments are somewhat irrelevant if what the Israeli press are saying is true - that the rockets were set of accidentally during some sort of maintenence work. A claim which the Israeli intelligence agree with, according to the same press. But, still they bombed shit out of Gaza.

They aren't fucking responding. 

 

They occupy another country, for fuck sake. 

Yep. It’s the equivalent of someone coming into my house, killing my family, handcuffing me to the radiator and shooting me in the head if I have the temerity to throw a kick back at them. That, but legalised and justified by alpha brain fucking racist fruit loops

I did kind of touch on that in my post. But, firing rockets gives them the opportunity to claim response. 

In the same way it does in Moof's example. It's utter, utter bullshit. You can't occupy another country and then claim to be responding when they inevitably resist occupation.
