Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?

If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?

Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?

What will the price of oil be in 4 weeks time?

you will note that my initial post, which you predictably choose/chose to deride, was both balanced and UNprovocative ..... the second was intentional and patently effective in its effect

as usual, anyone who doesn't agree with you or haystack (i often disagree strongly with views expressed by others too) is, in your eyes, automatically "naive, narrow minded and unpleasant"

No.

But, but you are a special case.

certainly i am happier to march to my own tune rather than just follow the herd

Haven't you noticed that the BBC is frequently pro Palestinian and often more so than Al Jazeera.

i merely observed, primarily to enable people to try to get a balanced view as what might truly be happening.

as for BBC, you may well be right for i only see AJ when i am in m/e ...... far be it from me to say BBC is other than strictly impartial, but certainly the tories have often complained that BBC is left-wing biased, and assuredly many UK gov'ts have been distinctly pro-arab or even anti-israel/jews

fahel - I like the first video - where liebman from movements.org is interviewed. I approve of the article on the front page of his website (www.movements.org)

Cynic, I hope they are not just following money.

The best option for the West is to watch the Arab countries to change! (fight internally and destroy their resources). They have to sell oil to pay for the damage after all!

Supporting anyone in the conflict can be counter productive, so keeping quiet is the best option.

i'm thick .... who following what money and which conflict are you talking about?

It looks like Sukey works when the protestors are non violent. If there is any violence then they will still get kettled.

Haystack - you don't get it - but then I don't expect you to.

If demonstrators stick to agreed routes/ timetable and don't involve in violence then they don't need to worry about being kettled by the police. The last time kettling was used it was in response to violence that had started 1 1/2 hours ealrlier. I doubt that Sukey will stop kettling if violence is involved. The use of police helicopters above marches can respond fast enough to contain problem areas. The use of teh app is supposed to reduce tensions and remove the need for kettling. Kettling is used in response to violent demonstrators and anarchists.

lol.

You may laugh, but kettling has only happened in response to violence.

is kettling when protesters get boiled in oil, or is it griddled in a BBQ?

Cynic letting off steam

rarely that agitated, though often plenty of hot air!

Nice-I dont think!

And the radical Rabbis demonise the Arabs. It is not the Jews who do this and it is not the Arabs. It is some of the radical leaders. I say 'some', because the average Jew and Arab are not like this. It is possible to find Youtube items of Rabbis spouting hate as well, saying that Arabs are not human and a thousand Arab lives are not worth one Jew. There are Rabbis who say that Israel should kill as many Arabs as possible. The propaganda is the same on both sides.

for once i fully concur
