Isn't that so British. The self-righteous indignation and scape-goating of israel by a nation that caused most of the worlds problems to begin with.


and the way they think they are experts on everything in world affairs yet few have ever left their armchairs.

The way they try to feel significant (having lost the empire) by meddling in the affairs of other countries that they know nothing about.


Well meaning idiots (at best.) Laughing

It was Coldplay not the nation.

Although Britain does have some knowledge of Israel and Palestine as it was for better or worse thanks to Britain that Israel even exists.

Yeah, that's right, Britain caused most of the world's problems (except, of course, the ones which were caused by the Russians/Soviets, Japanese, Chinese, French, Germans, Spanish, Portuguese, Americans, Arabs, Israelis, Hindus, Africans, Dutch, Belgians, Turks, Austro-Hungarians, Slavs...)

Maybe ask the Turks.... maybe Islamism isn't a given.... PLO aren't Islamist extremists, but rather nationalists.... Juniors against freedom, etc. etc.

Coldplay sucks btw, but they have a few decent songs that I won't turn of if it comes on the radio.
