Israel-bound arms flights en route,demonstrators planned to protest

[cal04]

TWO US aircraft carrying weapons bound for Israel were due to stop off in Britain with government approval this weekend, as demonstrators planned to protest against the flights.

The Boeing 747 jets, carrying "hazardous material" from Texas to Tel Aviv, were due to touch down overnight at Glasgow Prestwick Airport in Scotland, a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) spokesman said.

He added that they would be on the tarmac for a matter of hours while they were refuelled.

1. So, we'll cut off the arms shipments to Israel, so Hezbollah can shoot

rockets at Israeli cities without fear of reprisal.

That's a wonderful fucking plan, right there.

3. Oh, please!

Yeah those rockets are really flattening Israel cutting off their roads, bridges, electricity and hundreds of thousands are fleeing..........

4. That may be the dumbest post I've ever seen on DU.

Hezbollah is launching unguided missiles into cities, and doing it deliberately.

Are the fucking Israelis supposed to just sit there and take it?

Would you just sit there and take it?

5. Number one--I AM NOT ISRAELI......

believe me I know I'm incapable (due to my empathetic qualities) that I cannot think like one. Unguided? Yes, I just saw a brush fire started by one of the Hezbollah rockets. I was devastated---as was Faux News.....:sarcasm: This is news: you obviously haven't heard or seen yet, the hundreds of thousands of Lebanese citizens fleeing "guided" missles....the guided part is in question due to the FACTS that they have taken out vehicles containing evacuees, roads, bridges, and airports not to mention UN observers, that people need to escape the madness. Some escaping are OUR citizens.......many cannot get out now due to the guided proficiency of the IDF.
