instead of an @ world without borders...

However (without even mentioning Palestine), are you planning on flying there?
Never mind a lovely anarchist world without borders (& prejudice), if you fly rather than going overland (train & bus, or train/bus & boat) you are instead creating a world without a future for human beings and many other species.
Think about it. You are a responsible adult. You do not want to thieve a future from children.
...choose a world without a future!

With regards to flying...theres much bigger risks to our enivronment than flying...especially when its necessary...it is impossible to drive there from england because of the stamps you'd receive on your passport...whats more its completely impracticle....where needs must, they must.
Eco-facism is still facism!

boycott the apartheid state of israel

imagine twenty years ago and you saying the same thing about south africa. We should not punish a whole country for its government ?
Excuse me friends but in the case of Israel you have a racist state operating an apartheid system and a policy of open genocide against a thrice dispossessd population. No-one who supports that state (by living in it) is innocent of the crimes of that state.
A token protest against the wall does not take away the fact you are all going there to have a beach party.
Wake up. You are giving queers a bad name.

peace and security for all
Israel - the only country in the Mid-East where you can be gay

In Gaza or Ramallah you will be killed.
While you are in Israel protesting against the security barrier which has saved thousands of lives, please take the time to get on a bus in Jerusalem or go to a cafe in Tel Aviv - please look around at the people there and ask yourselves if they deserve to die. Were the barrier not there, there would be a strong chance they would die.

Most of those being killed are Palestinians and they are being killed by those same Israelis from those same cafes and buses who are nearly all in the Israeli army.
Ask yourself when you see the luxury of Israel life and compare it to the poverty of the Palestinian refugee camp, and you see the fourth largest army in the world occupying a land that has no army or a single tank, or plane, ask yourself who is being threatened most of all, who is being killed most of all, who has been dispossessed most of all.It is not a simple case of equal measure, it is a case of vast oppression and disparity supported by corrupt super powers for geo stategic reasons. Israel is a weapon of the west in the arab world. Its continued racist existence is a outrage.
