:O can't believe this!

[lumination]

Just found this in the news this morning.

Shocking that a gang would do this through the street with everything else going on out there

WARNING, its graphic!

Don't you just despair.

If you look at it from the Palestinian's point of view it's to be expected. If someone has betrayed them and given the Israelis their locs then of course they're going to execute them, very publicly too to send a warning. I'm not suggesting it's right, just to be expected. The whole things is a horrible bloody mess.

Nothing new from a people trapped in the middle ages.

We in the West are often criticised by some, but can anyone honestly think, that such barbarous justice would be carried out by the English or anyone else in the West?

[lumination]

do you think its going to end soon?

You probably recall Qadaffi being ripped apart by a mob

I think we have to ask not why people do this but why it's reported in that way in this instance but in this way for qadaffi

Clearly you're being encouraged to support the actions of one group but to abhor the actions of another.

This is the way Newspapers tell you what to think

[lumination]

its a shame that they tell you in this sort of way. but then i dont know ow else they would let you know. i wouldnt want to watch any videos. too gruesome!

Some years ago, two off duty British soldiers, inadvertently drove into an IRA funeral.....they were dragged out of the car and "beaten to death."

\\\\\ but can anyone honestly think, that such barbarous justice would be carried out by the English or anyone else in the West?\\\

Yes......is the answer to that.

[jake-the-peg]

//inadvertently // ?

As I recall that's not what the inquiry found!

[Sqad]

JTP....perhaps you could "jog" my memory by supplying a "link" to the comments of the inquiry?

[murraymints]

Sqad..remember that funeral very well..it was barbaric..was actually shown on news the two soldiers being dragged from the car....

[LazyGun]

I saw these pictures too, and was disgusted by them.

It might be possible to offer up reasons for their actions - mitigation and contextual rationalisation for acts of savagery and barbarism - but such behaviour cannot be excused, and the danger of offering such rationalisations is to give a partial excuse.

Its like saying its all right to lose your head- to abandon rationality, compassion, the law and justice; to lose yourself in instinctive savagery, indulge the animal within, translate a sense of grievance or injustice into lashing out - Just so long as there is a good reason for doing it.

Mob rule should always be condemned. No excuses, no rationalisations.

[Haggisdj]

If I remember correctly it was reported that at least one of the two soldiers was armed but he/they never drew their weapons?

Hardly a fair comparison so as to somehow justify, that some in the West (not England) can carry out equally barbarous justice.

The victims of this cowedly attack were not dragged through the streets by motor bike, for one thing, and secondly the killers of these two British soldiers were put on trial, when most likely those Palestinian gunmen will not be.

I missed the trial, I assume they were all guilty.

[McMouse]

RG the trial went on for ages.......about 5 seconds.

[rojash]

We get murderous mobs in the UK too

whilst i would never ever condone the case depicted by the Sun, it's vile which ever way you look at it, it was surely a one off. The pictures shown in the post are not. Atrocities are committed every day, and not just in Gaza, sad indictment of the society they live in. Women suocide bombers, little children carrying weapons, angry men advocating all out war against the Israelis, someone should do something soon before the west is embroiled in it.

/// AOG, 1995 8k+ civillians massacred at Srebrenica. ///

/// barbarous enough? ///

Doh! Srebrenica (South East Europe).

Hardly English or even the West, me thinks.
