O/T:- Palestine / Israel

[Magpies1959]

BFP, at such a sensitive time, I do not think it is ok for Palestinian's, (how do you know they are innocent) to wave flags, (prevocatively) on the streets of our capital or anywhere else in this country. There is a fine line to draw on free speech, but whatever the Tories said about it, you would disagree. Just to clarify, I am not Tory supporter.

What about the Israeli flag? That's been plastered all over European landmarks the last few days. Meanwhile, the Israeli army are bombing civilians and denying normal people access to the very basics they need to survive. Remember, there's no way for Palestinians to leave Gaza at this point. At what point does this become more than a retaliation?

I'm not taking a side here, just saying that it works both ways. Both Hamas and the Israeli government have the blood of innocent civilians on their hands.

Your ability to misunderstand/misrepresent and selectively ignore other people’s posts is unrivalled on this message board. It’s nothing to do with Tory/Labour I criticised a Labour politician literally a few posts ago.

The point that demagogues like Braverman and her ilk pretend not to know is that free speech/expression is a much more nuanced issue than they make out. Your struggles with people waving flags is a good illustration.
