George Galloway declares Bradford ‘an Israel-free zone’

Galloway is a repulsive human being and it's awful that he is actually an elected official. As shameful as the success of the BNP.

Of course, had the Palestinians adopted Gandhi/MLK tactics they could have won 30 years ago.

Really, all they had to do was take the Camp David offer. The problem is, Arafat knew he would be assassinated by Hamas if he did.

Settlers' dogs attack Palestinian children.

The big news today is that following the Israeli assassination of three senior Hamas military officials, Hamas have lynched twenty one alleged informers.

Generally Israeli military law allows capital punishment at times of war with light of severe treason. I guess if 3 IDF generals would have been assassinated with their families thanks due treason at time of intense war and siege we might see executions too.

This is seriously turning into a circus, I'm not sure if there's anyone in the government who even knows what we want here.

I'm guessing there'd be trials with evidence presented and a verdict by jury, not a summary execution of all the accused.

Executing collaborators is no scandal. The speed with which Hamas finds and kills collaborators makes me think these are more likely just political opponents.

Reactionaries like you are a greater danger to society than Press TV, trust me.

Dude, you defend Nazi war criminals.

Let's not pretend that Hamas wasn't racking up mass Israeli casualties for a while via suicide bombings. Winning election turned out to be the worst thing possible for them, in a way - it turned them into a quantifiable entity that could be cornered in Gaza and trapped, rather than a loose wild card.

I think the point of the rocket fire, more than anything, is to draw Israeli fire. They can't rack up dead Jews anymore, but if they rack up enough dead Palestinians, maybe the neighboring nations will feel compelled to attack Israel. It's a strategy, albeit a monstrous one.
