Does this mean he agrees with the Israeli regime?

Bricklaying on a grand scale I'd guess.

Who are 'Collective Resistance'?.

Looks like a bunch of crusty, smelly hippies.

I'd hazard a guess and say they're a shower of professional whingers & protesters - Richard Boyd Barret wannabe's.

The democratically elected government you mean?

Normally people who boycott Israel aren't consistent to boycott China or other countries with oppressive regimes. Bob is the opposite.

Personally I don't like Israel, but I don't boycott it because if I was to start boycotting nations I have problems with, there wouldn't be much I could buy.

RGDATA!

is this for Live Aid, or his efforts campaigning against the vandalisation of phone booths?

...and other clichés.

Why is it that Israel-apologists so rarely offer anything more substantive than the usual tired old 'crusty' 'smelly hippies' rhetoric?

When Indymedias servers go down, are you forced into forming your own opinions?

So you're not an ardent supporter of Israel then?

This was a previous attempt at character assasination:D

It is mentioned in the current Phoenix magazine.

(I actually heard about it on the radio ad)

Nope, I asked a question and gave my opinion.

Nothing wrong with that.

I think honourary degree's are f**king stupid anyway,

Depends on what direction the wind is blowing.

No (apart from baseless stereotyping therein), but when you throw out that 'crusty, smelly hippies' kind of thing and somebody comes back with "Israeli apologist" it's a bit much to declare that the starting gun to the usual shite has been fired by them.

I support Israel and its right to exist and all the citizens within it. I think this is great news for Bob Geldof.

'Collective Resistance' :rolleyes:

Hippies need to cop the f**k on, mostly people don't give a sh*t for them and their moaning.. We're too busy with the real issues, speaking of which - time to rest before I head out to work tonight.

Have you met Mr.Potato Head?.

Well, you would. Israel is slightly synonymous with the remnants of the Ulster Plantation.

Wunderbar, more bluster. However don't complain when the other side go to the same level you set.

As Geldof lives in the UK, he should now have to pay a graduate tax or something.

That'll learn him.

No Keith, you support whatever it is that gets you the attention here that real life has denied you everywhere else. Hopefully you'll grow out of it soon.

Dangerous Man

I think Keith is funny. You keep doing what you're doing Keith.

I don't see the problem with that.

No. I just support Israel and its people.

Nodin is getting very worked up...again. Unclog that fudge from your jap's eye, lad.

Yahew

the op certainly has an unhealthy obsession with Bob.

O look...a two post sock puppet.

You might want to bend over while I place that fudge back where I found it.

So (depending on what direction the wind is blowing, obviously) you are an apologist for Israel then. Unlike such (mind-blowingly original and oh-so-cutting) terms as "crusties" and "smelly hippies", "apologist" is not automatically a pejorative. By seizing upon that, and ignoring the actual question, you've shown quite clearly that you genuinely have nothing more substantive to offer than tired old clichés.

Wow; its amazing how a thread can so rapidly descend into childish petty sniping.

If you are trying to find the answer to the question in your first post I think you might find the link in your second is probably biased.

Hey everone calm down, listen to this and calm down!

Report it, I did. But you shouldn't quote it, it makes the moderators job of deleting it a little more time consuming.

I thought I heard before the colleges in Israel were a big part of the pro Palestinian movement based in Israel, which does exist believe it or not. something that gets very little media coverage imo
