And I suppose your speaker will be David Irving

And I suppose your speaker will be David Irving. You revisionists are now trying to re-write Middle Eastern history. So here are some facts about Middle Eastern history;
1) Most of the so-called Palestinian refugees left Palestine voluntarly after being asked to be neighbouring arab countries.

2)700,000 Jews were forceably expelled from arab countries during the 1948 war.

3)Israel offered the Palestinian authroity a Palestinian state in the year 2,000 which was flatley refused by Yasser Arafat.

4)The PLO is the worlds biggest terrorist organisation which has carried out a 38 year campaign of areoplane hijackings, kidnappings, assasinations, bombings, armed robberies, drug smuggling and extortion to fund its terrorist activities.

5)Israel like any country has right to defend itself. The so-called apartheid wall is in fact an anti-suicide bomber fence and wall designed to stop suicide bombers from entering Israel and save Israeli lives.

6)There will be lasting peace in the Middle East when the Palestinians lay down their arms and renounce terrorism once and for all!

Sorry

Oops, sorry. I'm afraid we get quite a lot of Zionist trolls on indymedia.

Why apologise?

Why apologise, why namecall and why abuse posters?
People with any views should be able to express whatever they want here.
In response, surely more constructive to enter a debate, refute lies, educate ignorance and explain misunderstandings.
If we all stay in our bunkers lobbing insults and listening only to people who think like us, nothing will change. And you never know, someone may say something that enables you to change your mind?!

Defamation

Defaming the Professor of International Relations at Oxford University as "David Irving" is not very helpful to a constructive debate.
