Probably the most educational aspect of this girls issue is the way they demonstrate minority 'Alamo mentality'.

It does surprise me though that they would go to such lengths. I can only assume it is an extension to the socially destructive direction of 'human rights' in the sense of "We are all equally free to express our.....(culture, religion etc)"

It sounds like these girls have somehow been infected with the "Its beyond hope, the world has abandoned Israel/Jews" kind of thing. So, what have they to lose by such an action.....

Steven also makes another crucial point. The girls made a decision, they acted on it, and they suffer the consequenses. I also have zero sympathy.
Good.. this makes

-Steven the Jewish secularist Islamophobe
-CJ the secularist (fill in the blank..I won't cos might be in twuble)
-BD the 'Christian extremist Islamophobe'

in total agreement.

No further 'stomping' is needed for the girls, but some re-education about social responsibility might be in order, plus some investigation into where they were influenced and by whom, and how, to think this way.

More Sanity...is needed for MS here. Ask yourself this question: "IF.. the radicals in Gaza ceased hurling self destructive (and increasingly long ranged) rockets at Sderot and now Ashkelon (where 60% of Gaza's electric power comes from) How many Israeli attacks on Gaza would occur thereafter?"

Perhaps a better question might be "How long would Palestinians be able to remain in Gaza in they didn't fight the Israeli State for the "privilege"?"

I suspect they'd be "putsched" out within a decade.

A few reality checks.

EasyTimes,

The nine would find no refuge from Shakespeare in Israel. Shakespearean productions are a regular part of the Israeli English theatrical scene.

I'm not sure the head teacher actually "supported" the nine's cause. He merely said he was proud of them for standing up for their beliefs.

LOL DEMOS

I doubt the nine's economic fates will be as harsh as you seem to imagine.

Gz, MoreSanity

Not sure what this has to do with Palestinians

On a different note,

IS THE MERCHANT OF VENICE AN ANTI-SEMITIC PLAY?

The Christians hardly come off as honourable and heroic characters.

Example:

Some time after Shylock's daughter, Jessica explains that she has been "saved" by her husband, Lorenzo, who has made her a Christian, that self-same Lorenzo says:

"In such a night
Did Jessica steal from the wealthy Jew"

The play is riddled with ironies of this sort. Antonio freely admits to abusing Shylock. Then he asks him for a loan. Then he agrees to accept the loan on ridiculous terms.

Though not directly related, my post highlights Islamists behaviours. This follows on your comments about the nature of protest by those Jewish girls:
--They issued no death threats.
--They did not threaten to firebomb the Royal Shakespeare Theatre
--They did not try to prevent others taking the Shakespeare test.

BD takes Antiseptic and dips him in 'hospital grade' Domestos... to rid him of the ideological bateria currently infecting his verrrrry sick brain ....

mate.. ur not serious right ? truly.. ur not..... are u ?

Which part of 'Israel withDREW from Gaza' means 'Israel would invade Gaza' or rid the land of Palestinians as you suggest?

Which part of "Israel could storm Gaza anytime it liked, but doesn't"
suggests to you that they would ?

and do you ACTUALLY think that those puny little annoying rockets are actually dissuading Israel and 'holding them back' ?

Surely.. you MUST be on some kind of mind altering drug, because no sane or medication free person (seriously) could come out with the stuff you just did and mean it.

You must be related to Michael Moore?

"BD takes Antiseptic and dips him in 'hospital grade' Domestos... to rid him of the ideological bateria currently infecting his verrrrry sick brain ...."

Nice, start out with ad hominem and go down hill from there. No wonder you're a "Christian". (See, I can do it too, although entirely more adroitly as I'm not dodging my knee jerking spasmodically).

"mate.. ur not serious right ? truly.. ur not..... are u ?"

Yep. Shall we talk about figments of the imagination?

"Which part of 'Israel withDREW from Gaza' means 'Israel would invade Gaza' or rid the land of Palestinians as you suggest?

It's a little thing called historical precedent and current Israeli domestic political expedience.

"and do you ACTUALLY think that those puny little annoying rockets are actually dissuading Israel and 'holding them back' ?"

Perhaps it's the knowledge that those "puny little annoying rockets" are the best they can hope for. What do you think it is?

"Surely.. you MUST be on some kind of mind altering drug, because no sane or medication free person (seriously) could come out with the stuff you just did and mean it.

LOL. Have you stopped chatting up the choirboys? People will start to talk eventually, you know...

(See, ever so much more creative and even less relevant to the topic than your own effort. Perhaps I should consider becoming a Pastor?)
