They weren’t, that’s even more worrying.

But not disappointed enough to acknowledge their culture isn't dangerous. Maybe you need to change the thread title again to something along the lines of 'I hate people who come here on boats, particularly if they are Muslims' because that's all your many comments are saying to me.

Again, smell the coffee. If several hundreds of thousands of a particular culture are demonstrating in support of the Hamas butchers/murderers, then I would expect you to understand Israel's position and understand how vulnerable we are to those demonstrators and also to the undocumented people arriving on the boats.
You may not like Conservatives, you may not like me, but don't deny what we're sleepwalking into. Not so long before we're all going to have to face East if we don't smell the coffee.

We already do…

Quote:
Within church architecture, orientation is an arrangement by which the point of main interest in the interior is towards the east (Latin: oriens). The east end is where the altar is placed, often within an apse. The façade and main entrance are accordingly at the west end.

Would that coffee be made from Arabica beans?

Your hypothesis is flawed as this did not occur. Some bad eggs in the demonstrators, yes. Several hundreds of thousands demonstrating in support of Hamas. Nope. Remember, Palestine ≠ Hamas.

I was going by the Socialist Worker's report:
Quote:
Where next for the Palestine solidarity movement?
There is an explosive mood to act in solidarity with Palestine. Hundreds of thousands have taken to the streets on four successive Saturdays. And the numbers have grown—150,000 in London on 14 October, 300,000 on 21 October and 500,000 last Saturday.

Trust you to change focus. It demonstrates my assertion of the numbers. And, going by the reported demonstrations, support for Hamas is obvious.
Why are you arguing like this? More like Hugh or one or two others take as an argument style.

That’s what it should be….I’m less sure now.
And I’ll definitely say that Pro-Palestine in the context of these demonstrations = anti-Jew.
Not ant-Israel but anti-Jew, that’s been very evident, very dangerous and very worrying.

No one's disputing the total numbers, just that it's only a minority of the demonstrators who support Hamas.
Hamas may like people talking up its support in the UK.
I don't.

How naive can you be, Andrew?
Why would these demonstrators suddenly come out with 'Free Palestine' banners just after Hamas has murdered 1400+ Israelis in the most brutal manner?
Why aren't they out there shouting "Not in my name".
Andrew?

They’re probably thinking about those brutally “collateral damaged” by the Israelis who are fast approaching 1 bomb dropped per Hamas fighter.

No naivety on my part.
The brutal invasion by Hamas was a month ago. The objective by the protestors seems to be to campaign for a cease fire. I can't see a benefit in their waiting before they advocate for this.

That's an astonishing statement. Israel needs to smash Hamas. Ceasefires don't achieve that. Of course the protestors want a ceasefire - they also want Israel to be smashed and Hamas to prevail.
You are allowing yourself to be duped.
