In Order To Demonstrate Our Defiance Against Islamic Terror.....

[ToraToraTora]

Should the civilised nations of the world follow the US and move our embassies to Jerusalem?

[ToraToraTora]

what analysis? all you've done is rant at one side and not explain how they should have handled it.

[rowanwitch]

Let's really *** people off and open a Palestine embassy in Jerusalem as well.

Many moons ago I thought as Jerusalem is so important to three major religions there would be a case for creating an independent city state along the lines of the Vatican City, governed by a secular parliament and policed by the UN, I don't know if any other places have the same multifaith resonance if so the option could be applied there too.

Rowan. Excellent suggestion!

Just so there’s no mistake, Tora, here is what I wrote in reply to your ’running riot..’ comment:

Run riot? Thus justifying the violent reaction of ‘the authorities’?

You mean like the Jewish inhabitants of the Warsaw ghetto who ’ran riot’?

Like the black demonstrators at Sharpeville who ‘ran riot’?

The working-class demonstrators at Peterloo who ‘ran riot’?

One lot cut down by the nazis, one by the South African Apartheid Police, one by English troopers.

Is that the sort of running riot and the sort of justifiable response you.’re advocating?

[ToraToraTora]

load of platitudes, what should the Israelis have done?? simple question....any idea?

[bainbrig]

You, my ‘friend.’, are avoiding the question.

What should the Germans have doneat Warsaw?
What should the South Africans done at Sharpeville?
What should the English troopers have done at Peterloo?

Well?

[bainbrig]

Well, seems
i’m going to have to pursue this myself, since most of the pro-shooters have slunk away.

Unarmed protesters? Try water cannon, or even non-lethal plastic bullets.

Otherwise it.’s no different from the other conflicts I keep citing and you all keep ignoring.
