Thanks for reply. I was referring to the marchers rather than the speakers. They hate Israelis (and therefore Jews - the constant reference to "Zionists" provides a good clue) and probably our Western civilisation and capitalist system as well. Regards.

@geoff189d: The usual drivel from a right-wing zealot. "Israelis" doesn't equal "Jews". "Zionists" doesn't equal "Jews". modern Zionists are rabid apologists for torture and terrorism, and I think at the last count over 80% of Israelis were likewise pro-murder and evil. As for the marchers, they were from all ethnic and religious backgrounds. (Including Judaism.) People like you need to either wake up... or just go away. You're no use to the cause of peace and justice in your current state.

[geoff189d]

@beansproutlord This so-called right-wing zealot voted Labour at the last election. 

[beansproutlord]

@geoff189d The fact that you think voting for Labour is somehow supposed to offset your previous hard-right dogma, and show that you're "not right-wing" is hilarous. After all, this is the party that took us into Iraq and Afghanistan, and continually supports murderous and criminal regimes like that in Israel. Labour hasn't been left wing for a long time, if it ever was. QED, I think.

[geoff189d]

@beansproutlord Iraq and Afghanistan! Didn't I just know you would throw that at me. I would never vote for far-right parties because, like the Palestinians, they support the death penalty as indeed do other Middle-Eastern countries.I doubt if a free Palestine would be a democratic one. Plus ca change etc. etc. I think!

[beansproutlord]

@geoff189d I know, it was insensitive of me to throw a little thing like Labour's joint-venture murder of many hundreds of thousands of people into the mix. Such trivial concerns are hardly worth mentioning.

As for your spurious argument that boils down to "Palestinians deserve what they're getting becase the Palestinian state supports the death penalty", well the US supports the death penalty. You apparently do too, as long as it's Palestinians who are on the receiving end. ;-) 

[geoff189d]

People who believe in tolerance and humanity do not march through the streets of London spewing poisonous hatred.

@geoff189d Hi geoff, I can't think of one thing that any of the speakers said that could be interpreted as 'poisonous hatred'. However, I would say that there is a general hatred towards injustice.
