I have never really understood how anyone could defend Israels action against the Palestinians over the last 75 years, to me they are giving backing to a brutal regime which has killed tens of thousands, stolen land and committed one of the worst atrocities since WW2 which ironically was against the very people who are committing the genocide now.
Whether the Palestinians will ever see their own state while America continue to back Israel is unknown, the debate is whether they will ever see North Gaza again as Israel seem to claim land and build settlements with every conflict but as the grim death toll raises above 10,000, the protests are ramping up with protests all around the World as the call for a ceasefire goes unhindered, 100,000 in Britain alone last weekend but if the Government get there way there won't be any this weekend because they are trying their hardest to get it stopped due to it being Armistice Day on Saturday.
The demonstration leaders have said that they won't be marching anywhere near the Cenotaph and are actually miles away and will march in the opposite direction and it wont start until hours after the wreath laying ceremony. The police have even said that there is no justification for banning the demonstration because there is no reasonable belief that it may result in serious disorder, damage or disruption.
Unfortunately the Government may well get its serious disorder as far right groups are planning to turn up in central London to oppose the pro-Palestine march, many circulating a call to: 'Make sure you’re there on Saturday. It’s down to the British people to stand up for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us. If we don’t make a stand this weekend, we may as well surrender to the mob. Don’t let them win'.
Those attending the pro-Palestine marches in recent weeks have been calling for a ceasefire in the war that broke out last month after Hamas killed 1,400 people, mainly civilians, in Israel and took more than 200 hostages. Ten thousands of civilians in Gaza have been killed in the Israeli retaliation since.
The Prime Minister doesn't want a hundred thousand people protesting against his decision to give unequivocal backing to Israel so you can understand why he is keen to stop it, stating that he finds it disrespectful to march on Armistice Day when we remember those who have died in wars but to me that seems to be the perfect day to call for a ceasefire and stop the killing of more civilians, no matter where they are in the World.

Blimey, the man who ignorantly said: 'if i was stuck in palestine, i'd walk out' is giving out history lessons. As i said before, the ignorant are always the last to recognise just how ignorant they really are and get the hump when it is pointed out to them.
