War comes to Woking

The problem with these demos is the range of opinions and the number of camp followers rather than people who have done their homework. As an example one of the organisers I spoke to said a two state solution was unworkable whereas one of the speakers said it was a must-do! At least there were no out and out anti-Semitic statements on view which we would have challenged. And for the record I think Israel should stop the war and withdraw and there should be an international peacekeeping force to keep order in Gaza and on the West Bank and to stop the Israeli fundamentalists from encroaching. Hamas should be suppressed and Netanyahu should resign. But it’s a bloody mess (literally) and today all we got was familiar tropes and no solutions. 

I’ve still got a cold and it’s pissing me off now. I get a sharp pain in my ribs when I cough.
