CWU Leader involvement in Gaza demonstration

[DGP1]

IF THE CWU ARE SUPPORTING MUSLIM TERRORISTS MAYBE WE SHOULD ALL THINK AGAIN ABOUT BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THIS UNION.

One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter, maybe you should find out ALL the information before making sweeping statements. The best way to win a low intensity conflict is with hearts and minds and not force (see NI for how that worked).

What article makes you think that the CWU are supporting Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Aqsa Martyrs, Palestine Islamic Jihad, or the PFLP. I would be interested to read it. Supporting Gazas civilians and Israeli citizens against indiscriminate attacks from both sides and supporting a call for a cease fire is hardly supporting "muslim terrorists."

Oh and stop shouting please.

If we cut off/limited all supplies to France then they might feel justified in launching an attack against the UK.

Years of killing didn't get anybody anything over here, it was only whenever people started talking that progress was made, the IRA killed many British citizens but the British governement didn't go bombing the ROI nor did they invade it and kill all round them. Just because someone attacks you doesn't give you the right to completely destroy them back.

Even pro-Israel Jewish Zionists have condemned Israel for using disproportionate force.

[UNION JACK]

That's war, politics and religion,everyone has a different opinion that's why we are where we are.we should split the world into different sections and all stay in our designated area's.the west and east ,for and against and anyone undecided in the middle and stay there!!!! No problem then within a few years all the east side would kill each other then we could move in there.

Union Jack: State of Israel was itself born out of terrorist attacks upon the occupying british forces after the 2nd world war. The bombing of the st David Hotel was carried out by a future prime minister of Israel. Problem is democray only works when people vote those the west want. FACT Hamas was democratically elected by the people of Gaza, Fatah won the West Bank. Fatah were deemed as less of a danger and given support financially and allowed a free reign to remove Hamas at the begining of 2007. Hamas won the civil war in Gaza.
Fact: Hamas was born out of the ghettos of the West Bank and Gaza. Israel is given 6 billion every year by the USA, it is armed to the teeth, it has nuclear weapons, it has the biggest standing army in the middle east, it has invaded other countries and it supported the christian falange in Lebanon which carried out the massacres in Sabra and Shatila refuge camps . It has refused to hand back the Shebaa Farms which is why Hezbollah still carry out rocket attacks. All this does not excuse the likes of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, PLF and other from carrying out indiscrimnate terrorist attacks upon civilians but who has the real power to change things..... the Israeli Government has. But to drop 500 pound bombs in such a densely populated areas that is not right and it leads us nowhere but the same old road the middle east has been on for the last 50 odd years. The CWU helps the ordinary worker in these places by giving support be they Israeli or Palestinian.

Uniting the kingdoms of Scotland and England had been proposed for a hundred years before it actually happened in 1707.

Suspicion and mistrust between the two countries had prevented the union throughout the 17th century. The Scots feared that they would simply become another region of England, being swallowed up as had happened to Wales some four hundred years earlier. For England the fear that the Scots may take sides with France and rekindle the 'Auld Alliance' was decisive. England relied heavily on Scottish soldiers and to have them turn and join ranks with the French would have been disastrous.

A few financial incentives appear to have convinced some dithering Scottish MPs of the many potential benefits of a union with England. In the words of Robert Burns, they (the Scottish MPs) We were bought and sold for English Gold, Sic a Parcel of Rogues in a Nation.

In a poorly attended Scottish Parliament the MPs voted to agree the Union and on 16th January 1707 the Act of Union was signed. The Act came into effect on May 1st 1707; the Scottish parliament was dissolved and England and Scotland became one country.

Scotland kept its independence with respect to its legal and religious systems, but coinage, taxation, sovereignty, trade , parliament and flag became one. The red cross of St. George combined with the blue cross of St. Andrew resulting in the 'old' union flag. This is popularly called the Union Jack, although strictly speaking, this only applies when it is flown on the jackstaff of a warship.

The Union flag that we recognise today did not appear until 1801, after another Act of Union, when the 'old' flag combined with the red cross of St. Patrick of Ireland.

Is it any wonder that the Scots did not want to be part of the Union when a deleted verse of the National Anthem is:

Lord, grant that Marshal Wade,
May by thy mighty aid,
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush and like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush,
God save the King.
