Protests outside the gates at RAF Lossimouth

The Hamas/ Gaza/ Palestine lovies are protesting about Israel's conflict, the fact that lovies appear not interested in the dead, murdered and raped women men and children in Israel, nor the held hostages makes their argument moot in my eyes, the current situation was brought about by the actions of Hamas, not the other way, and Hamas has already said in no uncertain terms their feelings on the population of Gaza.

I wouldn't fancy standing outside Lossie at this time of year for long... Brrrrrrr

It is their right to protest at something that is approaching genocide in Gaza - hardly Hamas luvvies if you don't like seeing children butchered.

Hamas and Israel can both be wrong, it is not a binary choice.

The problem is these same people won't condemn what hamas did, and some will outright deny it.

Can be? They certainly are.

Well said crab. As a well known (now no longer with us) Jewish MP once said in the Commons, "the murder of my grandmother in Auschwitz does not justify the murder of Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza"

A soundbite taken out of context. You have no idea what the well known Jewish MP’s would say about Hamas’ slaughter of the innocents.

This thread has been reported, and that was well done.
If you want to talk about the impact on RAF Lossiemouth, and on RAF personnel in the area, related to this protest then please continue this discussion on this forum.
If you collectively choose to start yet another Israel/Hamas/et al hamster wheel this will be locked. JB has a fine thread for the hamster wheel.
You all know where it is.

Fair enough, we once visited the CND camp they had setup many moons ago and it was freezing, we were on orders not to talk to, nor interact with the protesters, though some were found having a party with them. I should imagine the current situation is similar.

i cannot really see the logic in protesting at Lossiemouth as it really has nothing to do with the situation in either countries, one can only assume the organiser was not that bright or too lazy to travel to somewhere relevant.

They didn’t sound very Scottish either so we’re probably a rent a crowd, I would think the locals would have more sense than to upset their revenue stream as Lossiemouth and the staff will pour literally millions into the local economy.
