    Yeah, the Palestinian cause has no supporters around the world, whatsoever! How many countries in Europe support Israel and their actions in the area?
    Explain to me how things got better for Palestinians before Hamas came around, how the rest of the world stopped bad things from happening to them before Hamas came around, and how much Israel helped to facilitate things getting better for them before Hamas came around.

    Because that was my comment, you seem to be arguing something else or may have misread it. And I'm not saying things have gotten better for them since Hamas came along either, to avoid any further confusion.
    Tear gas is fired when people try and break the fence. If/When people engage in peaceful protest, nothing happens.
    Would you like to see some videos of people getting shot by laughing Israeli snipers for doing things such as walking in a field, or kicking a football? They were pretty infamous but you appear to have missed them.

    Ah can’t beat a bit of PR Allow me to be a bit cynical on this one

    I'm guessing that in these situations, the recipients probably prefer the PR-derived money than the gaseous student union arguments on their behalf.

    Indeed, not sure if he has much of a profile in America but his career is now finished stateside

    I doubt with his millions, achievements, success and the love and respect he has around the globe, from fair, courageous and right thinking people, he will be overly concerned about the opinions of the ‘right’ or the ‘wrong’ in the US. He has the balls and integrity to speak up, fair play to him, better to win good friends AND loose wrong ones.

    Nelson Mandela was once labelled a terrorist.


    He promoted peace and reconciliation too though.

    And he is a useful figurehead when South Africans complain about the rampant corruption in the ANC
