I don't doubt at all most are there for peace. I've been on a few of them myself for the Iraq war. But these do *feel* different, with the caveat that I haven't been on any in this conflict.
But do you honestly, in your heart of heart not think that there is a seriously malicious underbelly to this?
I mean look at this from the PSC for Manchester..on the day that 1400 Israelis were murdered, they praise the 'resistance'. I mean, they got suspended or whatever, which is good, but imagine the thought process and culture to think praising them was okay?!

This is what frustrates me, because there obviously are many - the overwhelming majority - who are for peace, but there's a pretty vile underbelly associated with these marches and personally I'd have nothing to do with them. I don't actually think they bring us closer to peace in the middle east or to a more harmonious set of community relations here.
