Barcelona declare that what is happening in the occupied territories amounts to apartheid. Since Netanyahu took back power, human rights abuses have systematically increased.

Barcelona have recognised that what is happening is just not right. They are prepared to stand up and say so. They will no doubt be called antisemitic, but they are not. What is happening is downright criminal and he is being allowed to get away with it.

Glassful, that's a very flippant comment. Human rights abuses should bother ALL of us because it can and does happen.

Everyone understands how you feel about Brexit, so why don't you show some respect for people that have equally important things to be said?

Ginger, if someone broke into your house, took it and then took all your land you might become a bit miffed, no? Well, that has been happening in the Occupied Territories for many, many years. Palestinians are treated so badly you just would not believe. I think your problem is that you read the Tory Press.

Wasn't Bush a terrorist for invading Iraq knowing full well there weere no weapons of mass destruction. More than a million people were murdered, and for what? So they could take the oil?

It's OK saying that a leader of the Palestinians is a so-called terrorist, and Bush and Blair are not? Oh really? Sheesh....
