Freedom Farter Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) This has been made into a TikTok so the random woman, caption and music are all annoying. However, the actual clip itself shows why folk are protesting. The idea being that if enough public opposition can be registered then the government's position can be changed. UK diplomatic, military and economic support for what's being done in that above clip would then cease. That could in turn have a ripple effect across Europe to eventually isolate USA as the sole external guarantor of the violence in Gaza. It's a long shot but that's the main reason folk protest. It's not a pointless display of self-expression, it has an objective aim. Also worth mentioning that I've viewed the clips of the civilian corpses left strewn across the music festival grounds in Israel last month. I've read many of the victim testimonies who lost their family members in the Kibbutz massacres. The violence is all inter-connected. Pressuring for an end to what's being done in Gaza right now would help all common folk in that wider region. Anyone protesting this weekend is doing a good thing. From the BBC website, how depraved have things become when "stop bombing babies" is such a radical statement as to be newsworthy: Edited November 11, 2023 by Freedom Farter 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are Nazi scum trying to exploit this for their fucking bigoted ends. Yup, resolutely sticking with "counter protestors" at every opportunity. Nearest they got on the website was one reference to "some of them from far right groups". BBC can just f**k right off. Sick of the fact they seem to believe "impartiality" means never scrutinising anything, never calling out liars when they are blatantly lying, and this sort of shit where they treat hate groups and the fucking imbeciles who associate with them with a respect that they simply do not merit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The West needed ordinary Germans on their side to help them and similarly the Soviets needed their Germans to help too. East Germans were taught that all the bad Germans had fled to the West since they wouldn't like the Worker's paradise in the East. Basically "a big boy did it and ran away" but on a much bigger scale and both sides were at it. except Stalin was a monster 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For ordinary Russians he was dangerous to know. I was simply pointing out that in the Cold War both side made excuses for their new German Allies that had only recently been their enemies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
