Golly gee, I had no idea I was being manipulated. Who would a thunk everything they were ever taught about everything in the world was a complete lie. Holly cow, and just imagine if I were to fall in love with my own horse sh!t what a painful and psychologically debilitating ordeal it would be trying to let go if it all. It would be like dying. Sure glad everything I believe is right.

Heh, photos can be used to further your cause. But really, these anti-war protests usually turn into pro-Arab nationalist rallies along with other causes. Many often times turn into anti-American, anti-Israeli. Not surprising to see the Palestinian flag flying there.

I'm not saying its a bad thing though. If they want to support the Palestinian extremists, go right ahead.


What's wrong with displaying the Palestinian flag?

In this context, it's being used to portray an anti-Jewish, anti-West, anti-Christian message. It shows that their motives are not "Anti-War" as is suggested by other analysies.

Huh?! :confused:

where did you pick that up ?

It's a common theme in many "anti-war" protests, especially those with an Islamic influence. Call me un-PC if you wish, but I don't trade PC-ness for truth.

That's it? It's a common theme in many anti-war protests so it must be anti-Jewish and anti-Christian? Forgive me but that seems like an awfully odd jump you made there. Are you trying to say that Judaism and Christianity are so war-like that any protest against war can also be explained as anti-Jewish or anti-Christian?

You seem to be connecting dots accross different pages - nay- different books even!

I find it a very viable conclusion. What is the most likely reason that they have a Palestinian flag otherwise? I'm not saying that my conclusion is 100% right, but I would bet more likely than not.
