1. keep on running.....
tiki ,   belgium   (04.13.14)
He might get a few headlines, but peace won't come out of it!
2. Running with cross on his neck
death wish   (04.13.14)
Running with a cross on his neck in Syria and Libya could get his neck to be cut off by extremist Muslims.
3. Pat Farmer

Pat Farmer is a decent, God-fearing, Christian bloke, who is not only a very successful long distance runner, but also a Member of Parliament, and brought up his children so well after his young wife died prematurely of cancer. Don't knock him Tiki-he is 100 times the "man" you are!
4. @1: and what positive steps do you take 'tiki'?
Sharon   (04.13.14)
oh, you don't take any? Instead you troll these pages and fling negative energy whenever possible? "no positive result is ever achievable by employing negativity" . "Shalom" (G_d bless the Australians)
5. Why doesn't he run ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.13.14)
.... for restoration of Australia to its rightful owners, the aboriginals? He can start in Perth and end up in Sydney. Or Dampier. Who gives a flying f**k? Why doesn't this interfering whatzit find a cause a little closer to home? Or find a truly worthy cause pretty much anywhere on the African continent? Of course, he could run the length nd breadth of Iceland, to protest the fact that the really adorable puffin is Iceland's national dish. That's a far more legitimate concern than running for Middle Eastern peace. The Jews are not the problem; it's the "Palestinians" that don't want peace. As has been adequately demonstrated by nearly a century's worth of facts on the ground.

Only dummies and war monger hate peace. Belgians are peaceful people and you are FOR SURE not a Belgian.
7. #3 Maybe Pat Farmer should run to clear the conscience
A ,   Belgium   (04.13.14)
of the Australian government, who has been refusing entry to asylum seekers and refugees, most of them moslems, and sending them to rot in concentration camps in Papau New Guinea
8. #6 Just as you know nothing about the Middle East,
A ,   Belgium   (04.13.14)
you know nothing about Belgians, either. You just don't know much about anything, do you...

Native title and land rights were restored to the Australian Aboriginals some years ago. Australian Aborigines are free to go anywhere they like in Australia, including driving their car on ANY street, they can ride on ANY bus and sit on ANY seat that they want. Can the same be said of the native Palestinians and Bedouins in Israel??? NO. Pat Farmer may well open a few western eyes with what he sees in Israel, and how your people treat your aborigines! BDS.

Darren Ben John ,   Townsville Australia   (04.14.14)
Well said, Harold. It seems Tiki, Sarah B, Chaim, BBB, Noodles et al, are all from the same, hawkish family. BDS.
11. #6 As you prove time and again that you know
A ,   Belgium   (04.14.14)
nothing about the Middle East, now you demonstrate that you nothing about Belgians either. You don't seem to know much about anything.
