speaking of protests.....

Should Gaza march continue?

Should a protest march against plans to dismantle Jewish settlements in the Gaza strip be allowed to go ahead?
Thousands of conservative Israelis spent the night in fields near Netivot, the starting point of the illegal march, after a two-hour stand-off with police last night.

The protest has been declared illegal and 20,000 police and troops are ready to prevent the protestors from entering Gaza to disrupt next month's pullout.


Israeli police faced off Tuesday against thousands of Gaza withdrawal opponents, including teens with backpacks and parents with strollers, who were trying to march to the nearby Gaza Strip in protest.

[what's wrong with this picture?]

Actually, I would prefer to agree with Kholt, since my "political bias" as you put it, makes me prefer that we consider political protest non-violent, since that gives the government less excuse to spy on protestors. However, I find that despite my "political bias" I cannot agree with Kholt even if I want to.

So much for your analysis of "poltical bias".
