I have seen and heard a lot of crazy things from state side,and being honest i would believe it!!!
a lot of people in this global economy rely on the media to keep informed,a lot of this is tainted with obviously political and social interests,and the average stupid american citizen cannot understand this,if anything i feel sorry for them,they are ill informed and victims of this murodoch propoganda machine!!!!!!

Gazasympathiser what is your point? 10,000 demonstrated in favour of Israel. Is this the first time there has ever been a demo in favour of a state or government at war? No, they are quite frequent occurrences throughout history.

Is this the first time that people have uttered xenophobic, inhuman and irrational comments about people they perceive to be enemies in a war? No, again this is a common feature of war.

These type of views were held and expressed by the British public in the two world wars against the Germans and the Japanese.

US soldiers carried out barbaric atrocities in Vietnam. Look what the Serbs did in Bosnia, what the Croats who collaborated with the Nazis did to the Serbs.

War is barbaric. Soldiers on all sides carry out atrocities. Populations are whipped up into frenzied hatred of the "enemy", xenophobia is rampant. That's what happens in all wars. 90% of Americans supported Bush going to war against Iraq. Islamophobia was widespread across the US, Britain and Europe. Some sections of the population wanted revenge and supported the murdered of innocent Iraqis. Some people in Britain cheered and celebrated when the Belgrano was sunk.

This is what happens in war. It happens in most wars, and not everyone is guilty of these views or attitudes, but some are and their nationality or religion has nothing to do with it.

I don't remember similar postings like this about the war in Iraq or other recent wars. So why Gazasympathiser have you put up this posting. I wouldn't like to think it was because the people who utter these contemptuous views were Jews!

Some of these people are obnoxious, others very deluded. The later group may be unaware of the dirty tricks the Israeli state plays when it comes to ceasefires.

However, one of the speakers may have a point regarding anti-Semitism in the ake of the Israeli attacks.

The only way to combat that is to constantly highlight those Jews, including Mr.Blumenathal, who activly campaign against Israeli criminality. There are loads, and they are cool!Shalom, brothers.

I've a Muslim friend who was saying some time back he didn't like Jews. Normally he's not at all political, but the whole Palestine thing had him mad, and thus coming to wrong conclusions. So I told him about those righteous Jews, and he was happier, though a little surprised.

Spread the good news about those Jews.

Likewise with Muslims. Acording to the Koran, a Muslim should not make music using an instrument. He should only use his voice, and should only sing verses from the Koran.

If Islam is such a totalitarian danger, why is that the only Muslim country to adhere to this law was Afghanistan under the Taliban? From what I can see, Arabs, the very people who founded that religion, cannot help but play music with flutes and keyboards and all kinds of things.

You can also buy beer in Morocco, Indonesia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, and a few other Muslim countries.

So people. Stop giving Jews and Muslims a hard time.
