News:

Chemical agents apparently being used by Gaza synagogue protesters against Israeli police

    By Jack Grant

Protesters (as distinct from settlers) at a Gaza synagogue are being forcibly removed, and it appears that the protesters are using some type of chemical to repel the police (this chemical is being identified as "acid" by the Israeli police, as broadcast on CNN International - link).

Police officers were seen coming out of the synagogue in their underwear and being doused with water, and the reporter on the scene described a burning sensation in his eyes.

The protesters are being identified as having come to Gaza from elsewhere, such as the West Bank, as opposed to settlers that were removed from the synagogue earlier.

In this extremely difficult time for their nation, have these protesters in using some type of chemical agent to oppose the police given the enemies of Isreal a propaganda victory?

Look, the Israeli Army is expert at removing people from their homes.

They have been practising for the past 50 years.

You arrive, hand over the piece of paper that says "Leave by the back door", stand off well away to one side, and the bulldozer goes in through the front door.

Simple.

I can't even work out why they are paying compensation now.


OH! It's Israelis that they are evicting? Well I guess that makes all the difference, huh!

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
