/// However, despite the traffic jams and large crowds, police said the protest was largely peaceful as a whole. ///

Interesting to see there were no arrests, I wonder if it would have been the same if the demonstration had been an EDL one?

One of your mates was nearly crying on Any Answers, earlier today, because 'the Palestinians are reduced to firing these 'pathetic' little rockets at Israel which cant kill anyone, well, they've killed a few but hardly anybody'

[Svejk]

I cant speak for/about the gay community at large because I don't, er, embrace them. But I think its fair to say that on AB they lean to the left. Wouldn't that be the case in general?

[sp1814]

What do you mean 'one of your mates'.

I'm genuinely lost on that.

Doss AB lean to the left? Not sure about that. It's something that AOG has alluded to in the past, but is would say that the majority are fairly central in their politics, with a small minority leaning to the far right, and another small minority leaning to the far left.

[Svejk]

I mean the AB gay community seems to lean to the left.

Svejk

Really?

Not much of a demographic to really draw any conclusions on, now is it?

The sample size is too small.

[Svejk]

yeah, that's why I'm asking, lol. what do you think?

[sp1814]

Svejk

Of what?

Where were the banners requesting the palestinians to stop firing their rockets daily into israel, we all know the Israeli's will respond 100 fold and in my opinion rightly so - Hammas does not care about the mounting death rate.

[jomifl]

Brenden, that would be very well if the israelis actually guided their guided missiles, perhaps then 95% of the casualties wouldn't be innocent women and children. Perhaps it is just a form of state terrorism ...just like hitlers deeds..

[sandyRoe]

It's only a few years ago that Israeli attacks on Gaza killed more than 1400 people. 100 years of Palestinian rocket attacks on land stolen and occupied by Zionist settlers wouldn't produce such casualties.

[askyourgran]

Why can't they just get on with their own problems, we have to be in the thick everyone else's wars. What exactly do these demonstrators want to achieve? Bringing London to a standstill won't stop them bombing the hell out of each other. Where is that water cannon when you need it>

[Zacs-Master]

1) everyone has the right to peaceful protest.
2) it didn't bring london to a standstill.

AOG, //So it is quite in order to climb on the top.of a bus is it? Try it the next time one stops near you and see if you will be arrested.//

This Rabbi wasn’t.

[Brenden]

Israel is not built on stolen lands, the palestinians have never had a sovereign state, for centuries they were part of Syria. Jomfil, do you honestly beleive that Hammas is not trying to kill as many israeli's as he can without a thought for who the victims may be, seems to me that the Palestinians are the aggressors and Israel are retalliating - albeit - with more force.

[naomi24]

Brenden, Israel is built on stolen lands. Can you make a genuinely principled case for Israel’s existence? I can't.

[DrFilth]

Brenden must be all the rain they have over there because it has shrunk

Best non-sequiter of the year so far.

Tommy, the rockets are a protest. How long do you think a Palestinian protest in Israel would last before the protestors were shot..
