It was not explained who the two men were either. I you wish to believe a post from somebody on 'X'. Feel free to do so. Personally without any explanation I don't believe in it. Sorry if I jumped the gun there, old chap. You're right there was neither sound nor explanation. I just unfairly decided to favour the two unarmed guys that defended themselves against an attack from the five more aggressive gentlemen, especially the tw@t swinging that piece of timber. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethically minded States and militaries need not be satisfied with the moral shortcomings of the principle of proportionality. They should acknowledge that collateral damage may be lawful, but not always moral, and take additional steps to reduce the risks to innocent bystanders in war Fluff and Bubble - woke progressive BS. 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are protesting Israel's ham fisted response which is causing untold suffering to civilians and promoting a generation of future Islamic martyrs. Sure. None of the people participating supports Hamas - if you say so. Many of the people chanting 'river-to-the-sea' are, though - wittingly or otherwise. That's not including the rather more obvious swastika crowd, the death-to-the-Jews crowd, and those with Hamas badges, flags and air-glider pins.

Any march to stop the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people should go ahead, it is more important that Remembrance Day, apart from a few old people who remember our world wars. Apartheid and occupation were the causes of the war and Israel know that...... This is a smokescreen for their own selfish aims. The military expert has spoken. There is no 'ethnic cleansing' other than in your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for an apology. It is a mistake that many of us make, except of course the perfect posters among us, who never put a foot wrong and loudly criticise those among us who do. I just read (mostly) the posts here as IMHO the thread has gone toxic and I don't really want to participate any more. I do reply to sensible and reasonable posts, but the majority are too much for my sensitive soul. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In England - I'm not sure if different rules apply elsewhere in the UK - anyone has the right to organise a protest: large or small; one-off or regularly scheduled. The police should be advised 6 days in advance, although not doing so would not necessarily prevent the protest from going ahead. I guess the answer to your question is that no one has sought permission to organise such a protest(s)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaccha Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Gentleman please relax. In a few years time, when the Muslims have better captured the instruments of the State, they'll be able to outlaw Remembrance Day and replace it with something more reflective of current values, perhaps 'Mohammed Day'. And then there will be no further squabbling or fighting. And peace will reign. Your great-grandchildren in their mosques, will look back with shame that their ancestors were infidels. Just as Persians today try to forget that they resisted Islamic invasion. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran Bradley, an assistant producer at LBC, said: ‘This isn’t accurate reporting of today’s events and what unfolded in Central London.’ He added: ‘It can only be described as “peaceful” if you blatantly ignore the pockets of violence, disturbance in Victoria, racist signs and genocidal chants for the eradication of Israel.’ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12739207/Fury-Channel-4-pro-Palestine-protests-peaceful.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a lot of that. That's a very one sided interpretation. "The slogan has been used by Palestinians, Israelis and their supporters. For the Palestinian side, the slogan has come to be interpreted by some as advocating for a single democratic Palestinian state encompassing what is today Israel and the Palestinian territories, where individuals of all religions would have equal citizenship. The slogan's usage by Palestinian militant groups have led to claims by critics that the slogan is antisemitic, calling for the dismantling of Israel and denying Jewish self-determination, or that it advocates for their removal or extermination, It has come under scrutiny in the United States and Europe, including being criminalized in some countries." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_the_river_to_the_sea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
