Tony Benn = a great human being.

Great is a far too overused word in modern society, but this man is completely fitting of the description.

They just aren't made like him any more.

Who is the biggest threat - Hamas or Israel?

With all those pictures being shown on this clip it shocks me that they saw it as the faut of Hamas even though it was Israel that broke the ceasefire. In fact, Israel planned the attack months before.

Have to give Tony a round of applause - he didn't do it once he did it twice.

we should have just plugged the israelis when we had the chance.... :P

@johnisfun I think your heart is about 5% right with this statement.

[dabooy55]

God bless this man, he saved many lives from speakling out. He deserves ultimate respect.

[klasomentas]

@cmcgrath10 Νο, I think he 'd disagree because he has faith in humans and , by doing so ourselves, we inherit his legacy and that of all of his precursors. That goes to your last statement of course!

[sniped101]

simply put, this guy owns.

Tony Benn is head and shoulders above any other UK politician and when you hear him speak you realise he's so modest he doesn't think this himself. This is why so many clowns - Kinnock, Healey etc ganged up on him and kept him down - it's envy, pure simple envy.

Benn will always be admired, those other two will be forgotten before they're cold, and they know it. I'd also like to say that Tony Benn is the best teacher in the country, I'm one too and he's the head of my profession !!

Read some comments regarding Muslims killed by other Muslims. Argument is that they are killed by Their Kind and in big numbers, therefore its ok for israelis to kill Palestinians. Great argument, Hitler would have loved this one cos because Jews have been persecuted in all Europe thus ok for Nazis to do (in human treatment) what they were planing to do. Not condoning what happened in WW2 just wondering if the logic applies.

Tony ben legend

I guess camera man/woman was one of the majority who tony ben said disagreed with the BBC pro Israel decision this is the uk the Jews dnt scare us rot in hell u fuckin child killers

[johnisfun]

His heart is in the right place, that's the best thing you can say about him.

He belongs on the fringe of politics because he's a left winger .. someone who thinks he can run people's lives better than they themselves can.

[omsct]

I couldn't agree more. It's the tragedy of politics that people like him never hold the top office.
