"Thank goodness the Palestinians don't have the same weapons as Israel. I'm convinced they wouldn't be as restrained as the IDF."Helen, Maale Adumim, Israel

It's nothing to do with goodness, you can thank the Americans. How is the behaviour of the Israelis restrained? They have now illegally arrested Palestinian politicians. Helen your people are becoming the Nazis that you abhore. Do something.

If any other country behaved like this, the world would surely object to it. How does Israel get away with it? Yes I know the Israelis suffered under the Nazis, but they can't use this as a justification for their cruelty today. They seem to have adopted the Nazis' tactics. By oppressing the Palestinians, they have lost all moral high ground and have become the Nazis themselves. Shame on them. Release the women and children at once please.

NAUGHTY NAUGHTY!

I found this picture whilst looking for a pic to add to the previous post. This must be the best picture of all taken during the Miner's Strike. And with the benefit of Hindsight, we can now establish that out of the two 'policemen' at the front of the picture, neither one is a real copper. The one on the left has no numbers on his uniform, indicating either MI5 or more likely forces, possibly a paratrooper. Using troops against citizens eh, naughty Maggie.

I am not fed a diet of news such as your 'Fox News' but glean my news from a variety of sources such as the BBC and ITN.

Luckily the police managed to raid an evil chemical weapons plot in London to remind all the peaceniks what this war is about. Coincidence?

Exiles plot to overthrow Syria's Baathist regime
By Richard Beeston, Diplomatic Editor

LEADING Syrian opposition figures, led by the country’s former Vice-President, gathered in London yesterday for a two-day conference to plot the overthrow of the Baathist regime of President Assad.
The unprecedented gathering, which the Foreign and Commonwealth Office insisted was not co-ordinated with any British officials, was led by Abdel Halim Khaddam, who predicted that Syria’s increasingly dictatorial leadership would one day soon be toppled by a popular revolt."

I know that many of you are normal kind people horrified by the direction your country is going in. And I empathise because the UK is following you down the same dark road to hell.

After 500 civilians were massacred in similar circumstances in Mi Lai, William Calley was sentenced to LIFE for murder, on March 31, 1971. He was freed on April 7, 1971, under 'house arrest', and 'paroled' on November 9, 1974. He lived happily ever after, working as a jeweller.

Is this the JUSTICE you mean, Steve?
