Nice   (07.19.14)
Why is anyone wondering about these kinds of violent and antisemitic demonstrators. France is on the way to become New Algeria.
2. Looking in envy
tiki ,   belgium   (07.19.14)
The families of the millions of murdered victims & refugees in Syria, ISIS/ Irak, Afghanistan, Sudan, Lybia, Nigeria, N-Korea & all terror regimes in the world, must ask themselves """what do the Palestinians have that they don't""" to bring the fury of these Armies of 'Humanists to the boil. Answer: Israeli involvement! Yes, dear victims of war, even to be a victim is a question of being in the 'right place with the 'right enemy, otherwise these 'humanists won't let a nice Saturday afternoon be spoiled by your misery.
3. Where were they when Syria's Asad
Yoram ,   New York   (07.19.14)
murdered 100000 of his his people only to secure his hold on the country. are 300 Palestinians killed indirectly for being too close to a raging war more important then 100000 Syrians? If Paris and London had rockets showering them will they refrain from responding for fear of killing innocent bystanders?
4. Dońt worry Israel
Peter ,   France   (07.20.14)
These demonstrations are made a fringue of the muslim population. The french are bored by them and this noise.i was in one of these demonstration today: the people in the street dońt care at all, and the effect is even reverse to the palestinian so called ´´causé´´. They hardly gathered 400 persons in a city of 200 000 , where muslim represent 30% . That is to say NOTHING Let´s not be blinded by the media , who always exagerate
5. "Lesbians & Gays support the Palestinians" they show
Sam ,   PT   (07.20.14)
but the Palestinians don't support them. They would be honor killed at the first opportunity.
6. Demonstrators supporting islamic nazis
albert snow ,   sweden   (07.19.14)
The ones demonstratiing is most of all muslim immigrants and seculare leftists. Together they´ll change the character to Europe. The mass immigration of muslims to Europe will turn the continent into a hotbed of internal war, islamisation, economic decline and a change from democracy to sharia tyranny. The future for Eurabia is very bleak.
7. Demonstrations
Velmixman ,   Canada   (07.20.14)
Living in France? If you are not a member of the religion of peace, get out fast. Your days are numbered
8. To those who object to Israel's fight.
Luann Chandler ,   Haymarket USA   (07.19.14)
What is Israel to do. What would YOUR country do if they were being hit daily with missiles? Would they not retaliate ? Think about it. Israel is not fighting the Palestinians, they are fighting the terrorist group Hamas who controls Palestine and who refuses all those who beg for a stop to this. It would seem to me that Israel must protect it's citizens.
9. Sabry Adel on Facebook
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.19.14)
Fear Egypt? You must be joking. 6 times you Islamic weenies tried to do in Israel and failed. Allah can't seem to take care of cartoonists. Somebody insults Islam (which is an oxymoron) and you get your panties in a twist. Jews and Christians don't get upset like you do. We know if our God feels insulted he will handle it himself. He isn't so weak that we have to do it for him.
10. The London Demo
Claude ,   UK and Cape Town   (07.19.14)
The best the demo in London could muster was the hysterical speaches by Tongue and Galloway. Galloway who now appears on a regular Russia State TV show! As long as the PSC in UK relies on such discredited figures to make their case they will never get wider public support. 15000 on a Sunny Saturday is hardly a massive turn out. The pro and anti fox hunting demos each mustered more than 20 times that number. Who are these 15000 crowd?, largely made up of the far left, Islamofascist alliance with a few hangers on from a dying Trade Union Movement and an increasingly irrelevant Church. Not very representative of British Public Opinion.
11. Not Israelis Fault
World Citizen ,   the world   (07.19.14)
These people are only demonstrating because suddenly they have been infected with the anti-zionism virus. It has nothing to do with the genocide Israel is pursuing in Gaza or the apartheid being carried out by the Israeli military in the Occupied Territories of Palestine.
12. rioting in France is nothing new
(07.19.14)
arabs in france have been rioting and torching cars for many years.
13. Moron @ #11: There is NO apartheid - NO genocide
lydia ,   Brisbane, Australia   (07.20.14)
Please answer this: 1. How is it that rabid anti-semites like Zoabi, Tibi and others not only are members of the Israeli parliament (Knesset) - actually continue to remain ALIVE???? FAIL. 2. How is it that the population of Gaza has actually INCREASED in recent years and not one person forcibly to Jordan (the REAL palestine). FAIL. You people are such absolute fools - ONLY jew-haters (and that's what's behind this) could possibly believe the BS you spew.
14. Compare the figures and work out what this is really about..
Truth Hertz ,   UK   (07.20.14)
Over a hundred thousand die in Syria civil war and a few hundred people protest. In comparison, a few hundred people die when Israel defends its citizens against Hamas and hundreds of thousands demonstrate. Conclusion: The demonstrations are not against people being killed but about Jews daring to defend themselves.
15. no 9
AL QUDS AL YAHUDI ,   QUDS 100% YAHUDI   (07.20.14)
Do you know why if somebody insults Islam god called allah, Islam takes to the street with their violent, because allah is not the real god. allah is pagan god. The moon god. Islam with 1.6 billion go and worship this pagan god called allah
16. Pro-Palestinian protesters rally
mat ,   uk   (07.20.14)
If you ask these protesters what will they do if their next door neighbour will keep throwing stones at you will they do nothing I don't think so they don't want to know about the rockets aimed from Gaza to Israel they are ostriches baring their head in the sand just want to blame Israel no matter what
17. A few fingers to the world
ggg ,   Tel Aviv   (07.20.14)
We have known for centuries that we are on our own, that the ultimate reason behind all this is a historical inheritance of Jew hate. You're prepared to side with a people who strap explosives to 13 year olds, who use women and children as shields, who unashamedly call for the murder of the entire Jewish nation, to which you are completely DEAF. You claim genocide of one nation but stand up for the genocide of another. You stand idly by while tens of thousands of people throughout the Middle East and Africa are being slaughtered in the name of Islam. How utterly beneath contempt is that? We are on our own, and we will do what we have to do to stop these barbaric thugs from doing it to us. To all those pretty little blondes with the tank tops, that will, under the impending Islamic takeover of your own countries, will earn you 600 lashes and a burka for the rest of your sorry lives.
18. Reply David Heartman on FB talking of hypocracy
Gideon   (07.20.14)
How ever would we manage without you, directing the war from the comfort of your armchair in the US. You call yourself a man, then come and join the IDF and put your money where your mouth is, tough guy LOL. Praise the fine young men and women of the IDF who protect our country and yes David that includes the gay soldiers as well , you homophobe
19. The Failed Protests in Europe
Claude ,   UK and Cape Town   (07.20.14)
The left are realing. The failed and almost forgotten Occupy Movement, Trade Unions haemorrhaging memberships, So lets have a Demo against IL , it attracts the usual misfits and ideologies that have failed to ignite and attract mass public support. A sunny day in a city of over 8million with a further 4 million in the region and 15000 turn out. When Galloway suggests that IL may have been responsible for the Ukranian plane downed in order to divert media attention, then you know that that the Palestinians have a problem with allowing their cause to be hijacked by such nutters. If you want to kill a campaign get Galloway to support it and wait for the World Citizen to write in support.
20. Steve Mitchell
ggg ,   Tel Aviv   (07.20.14)
So these rockets are "harmless" are they? You wouldn't mind if one landed on your head? Or worse, one of your children's head? Or just the shrapnel removing an eye or two? Fools like you are born every minute.
21. No Protest for Syria, Iraq,Lebanon.Libya....?
Roland ,   london England   (07.20.14)
22. Europe
Sebastjan ,   Kranj, Slovenia   (07.21.14)
