Groan, I'm going to have to concede an error to you of all people Felix. Make the most of it, I can promise you it will never happen again just like you'll never make an intelligent, rational, thought out comment. I didn't see the Israeli flag in the background so you are right in some way. Nevertheless if you read the caption under the image, it's quite self explanatory.

The level of intelligence never ceases to amaze me. It's the Turkish embassy in the picture, it kind of links to the piece about a gunman taking over the Turkish Embassy in Tel Aviv and it's the Turkish flag not the Israeli flag.

@Lou,
Thank you for having the grace to admit your error but you spoiled your apology by more personal abuse.
Pity.

My point was that this photo in no way relates to the incident in question as a reading of the caption illustrates.

I suppose you don't think that an intelligent, rational, thought or comment.
I think that may say more about you than me.

When you and your family have been terrorised by a group of people then you are bound to have resentment towards them. Lets not forgot that we could not possibly comprehend what the Palestinians go through.

Now that Alexandra and Des Demona are on the same page and a new dawn of rational debate may have dawned.

Does anyone one have a solution to the global game of pass the hate parcel?
The Germans felt humiliated so they brutalized the Jews ,the Jews having being persecuted virtually to the point of extinction are now surround by enemies, brutalize the Palestinians.
The Palestinians say they will not sleep until there is not one Jew left in Israel and so this tragic
saga continues.
When will we ever learn,we live on a ball a sphere a globe.
That says it all.
Whatever goes around comes around.
Compassion is in fact enlightened self interest in disguise.
Unfortunately the problem is that for it to work it seems that it may have to be reciprocal?

"You see, I do something good for three people. And then when they ask how they can pay it back, I say they have to Pay It Forward. To three more people. Each. So nine people get helped. Then those people have to do twenty-seven." He turned on the calculator, punched in a few numbers. "Then it sort of spreads out, see. To eighty-one. Then two hundred forty-three. Then seven hundred twenty-nine. Then two thousand, one hundred eighty-seven. See how big it gets?"
