No - apart from the argument being used used for this invasion it is interesting to see the 'usual suspects' (especially one particularly disturbingly nasty individual) appearing in threads defending Prince Harry's use of the words 'Paki' and 'Towelhead' and Carol,Thatchers wonderful 'Golliwog' gaffe - both of which have, wisely, in my opinion, been closed by the administrator.
There are two sides to this argument, the first being the legitimacy of Israels occupation of Palestine and the ghettoisation of its residents (still being carefully tip-toed around by the apologists), then the inhuman, and internationally illegal treatment of non-combatants, particularly children. As far as I am concerned Israel entered the sewer with its use of chemical weapons against civilians!
