I hope the FBI, CIA, and NSA has photos and ID's on every Muslim "american" that attends these protests. That way, when they end up showing their allegiances, and what side they're really on, we can remind you who exactly it is we're dealing with.Why go home

So what, every Muslim who doesn't agree with everything that the government says is a terrorist? That doesn't make sense. Why would a terrorist go to a peaceful protest? If they were all terrorist they could've just over ran the security and taken over the whitehouse. If the government photographed and IDed everyone who fit the agenda of someone who could be part of a radical, violent movement, then we'd all be in the system.0 -

It's up to the person what they want to support and bring attention to. A person is going to post what is important to them...what they feel strongly about. You can post events about what you believe in and we can discuss it all day long but don't expect me to do it all for you.
Again, I'm not asking why you don't post things you don't believe in. I'm asking whether in principle you would support the news reporting on pro-Israel rallies as well just as you've said they should report on anti-Israel rallies, since you've said that the news should report on everything.0 -

I already said I support people who care enough to get out and make their voices heard and yes, I think they deserve to be covered(only as long as both sides are covered)If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

Would you like to re=re-phrase that?
Or are you implying that all anti-war, 'hippy' protesters are anti-semites?

IDF Causes Serious Head Injury to Israeli Lawyer
Saturday, 12 August 2006, 8:57 am
Press Release: International Solidarity Movement
Israeli Army Cause Serious Head Injury to Israeli Lawyer at
Demonstration
Earlier today, August 11, the Israeli Army and Border Police shot an
Israeli demonstrator with rubber bullets from close range in the head
and neck, causing serious injuries. The man, who is a lawyer, was
taken by the army to Tel Hasomer hospital from where he is reported
to have suffered brain damage.
In total 9 people were shot with rubber bullets in a non-violent
demonstration in Bil'in. Those shot included 2 villagers of Bil'in as
well as citizens of Denmark, France, USA, Japan and Israel. Other
people from United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark were beaten, struck with
rifle butt or injured by sound grenade fragments.
About 200 demonstrators joined the peaceful march from the Bil'in
mosque to the Apartheid Wall about 1 km away. The purpose of the
march was to demonstrate against the 'New Style of Killing' where
even children are targetted by Israeli military forces. The marchers
carried 5 mock bodies symbolising an entire family killed by Israeli
military action.
Before the marchers were able to leave the village soldiers blocked
their route, announced the demonstration illegal and then immediately
fired sound grenades and rubber bullets from close range. The
solders' commander claimed the demonstration was illegal although an
Israeli court has previously confirmed the right of Bil'in villagers
to hold demonstrations.

Pretty funny that the protests here in Toronto almost had fighting going on. We let these people into the country for a better life (?) and they still bring their baggage from the homeland. If it means so much to you. Go back with your flags and violent ways and have it out back home. Not in downtown Toronto! Nice to see the tolerance from the Middle East spread to my home town. If they can't get it right this far removed from their homes how the hell are they ever going to get it right back in the old country.
All you war nuts saying to bomb the middle east to a parking lot are starting to sound better and better all the time. Just make sure those protesters from the other day are all back their when they decide to take them to the promised land.You've changed your place in this world!0
