Some members of the Manchester Palestine Solidarity Campaign group in the city centre a couple of days ago, either on their way to or from trying to do what they can to stop the atrocities being inflicted in the latest Palestine-Israel crisis.
A century on from World War I and somehow there are still maniacs (and usually on both sides of a conflict) who become leaders and who never learn from history... Tragic.
Update Tuesday evening: it's actually a daily boycott of the Kedam shop on King Street. I took the below photo on the way home this evening. Kedam stock beauty products made with minerals in the Dead Sea- the Israeli economy benefits from Dead Sea resources while Palestine is deprived of £84 million woryh of tourism and other revenues due to Israeli occupation More at www.bdsmovement.net
Quite antagonistic with a few people waving Israel flags outside the shop, while Palestine protestors handed out leaflets and a few police on hand to stir it all up too...
Yes, it seems like we never learn.
ReplyDeleteLeaders, it seems, rarely learn much of anything.
ReplyDeleteAs you say Chrissy, Tragic.
