Protest march against Israeli terrorism

You might as well become a hermit if you're going to boycott those companies.

I'm still enjoying the one sidedness of peoples views. Oh noes Palestinian children! And yet no sympathy for the Israelis kids? :/ Kids are kids regardless of where they're from.

And why shouldn't they..

If we where being attacked by rockets, i would want our government could do all it could to stop them. Some may see it as heavy handed i would see it as necessary.

How many of you would suddenly change your mind if the rockets where being aimed at your town.

You seriously think that the Israeli response is proportionate ?

Well a lot would argue with you saying we were heavy handed. Also it is not on the same scale.

The situation in n ireland was totally different from the current case in gaza, the ira's campaign of violence was directed at the military and police institutions over here, that of course led to the killing of protestant members of the security forces, then the loyalist paramilitarys would respond by killing catholics, in gaza, hammass are firing rockets indiscriminately into civilian areas, not caring were they land, when israel responds with military action, the hammass propaganda machine swings into action, bodys of dead children, women, on prime time news. The palestinians are seen as the victims, when the sad fact is, theyre own people put them in that position, quite simply, if you dont want to be attacked, dont fire weapons at your neighbour.

does anybody march when hamas kills people? but then again a few dead jews..who cares..its ok as they are really accidental deaths, just bad luck when a random missile lands on your house..those jolly hamas blokes are only only getting a few lucky shots in

True. If France started to bomb the UK with unguided missiles...what would the UK gov do? Sit and do nothing?

If these rockets are fired from residential areas? Would the Army/Airforce/whatever go "...ooh deng, we can't go in there...we might kill civs"? Prob not.

I'm pro Israel and always will be. However, I don't say everything they are doing is correct. But, you have to see their side of the story as well.
 
What does "list of companies supporting Israel" mean? Supporting in what way? And how is this relevant to the war?

The aim of the boycott campaign is to deny Israel the financial means to continue to kill Palestinians and occupy the lands.

OK, and boycotting AMD will achieve this... how?

These are all Jewish companies? I'd like to see this proved, please. 20th Century Fox is owned by Robert Murdoch, a white Australian who is not Jewish and never has been.

And what does "support Israel" mean?

Past examples show we didn't and won't.

When the IRA were killing far more people than Hamas the UK government didn't blast the **** out of Ireland did they?

There are quite a few parallels you can draw from the two confilcits. See my earlier post where I stated the British forces could have gone in and cleared up (according to them) quite easily but they didn't.

I think we are one of the few countries that can really stand up and say we have been in the same position, but not retaliated.

So yes they are WAY to heavy handed.

Yes, actually we did. In fact we sent a large number of troops into Dublin, killed many Irishmen, and executed the ringleaders. 1916 i think it was.

I think you are refering to the PIRA, which was not supported by the Irish government so attacking Ireland would have been counterproductive in the extreme.

Eh? So how do we know they support Israel? Because they are "jewish" owned and sell goods in Israel?

So that's why there were bombs going off outside the BBC headquarters and in pubs, killing dozens of civilians... Good job, they were worthy military targets...

I'm still waiting for someone to prove that they're all Jewish.

Rupert Murdoch is probably surprised to find himself on that list.

Notice that the list doesn't even say "Israeli companies"; I'm willing to bet that the owners of the site don't even know any! They've just scooped up a whole bunch of companies that they believe to be associated with Israel in some way (for whatever reason) when in fact they all appear to be well known American icons.

There's just no comprehending these people.

I was referring to the fight in the 1960-2000, which is more comparable in attacks from Hamas. And when was the IRA supported by the Irish government?

Stolly said:
You are right, Israel should launch up to 300 unguided rockets per day into Gaza. Also, for each Israeli killed Israel should execute a Palestinian of the same sex and age.

Fine, that will have reduced the death toll by about 50 times and as the sanctions and movement restrictions on palestinians would have been removed the lives of ordinary Palestinians would be far better than it has been for the last few+ years.

That's pretty much along the lines I was thinking too, Coca cola on that list usually identifies it as just an anti-american list.

The original IRA and the original Free State were very close to being one and the same thing, in fact the current Irish Army grew out of part of the original IRA.

The Provisional IRA was the IRA that later became famous during the troubles, this was not funded by what was then Eire. Therefore attacking it would have been counterproductive. Read up about it on Wiki.

What does them being Jewish have anything to do with it? Surely it would be the support for Israel that would matter?

You are aware of course that Marks and Spencer hasn't been owned by Mr Marks or anyone in the Marks family for an awful long time aren't you? You are aware that it is a FTSE100 company with shares anyone can buy? It may stock some produce from Israel, but to be honest so may Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons or Waitrose, why are they not on the list?

I assume you are also trying to cash in your pension because I can almost guarantee you that it will be invested in FTSE100 companies to some degree or other.

Do you actually have a clue about what companies are really supporting Israel or will anything with a hint of jewishness do?
