It's beautiful how people seek every opportunity to brag about Democracy and to attack Islam as being "Anti-democratic" yet at every democratic display (as in anti-Israeli demonstrations) they start talking about "Civilized" forms of protesting.

Forgetting, or conveniently omitting the fact that demonstrations are actually a form of democracy. A form of demanding change. A human right. A form of expression that is protected under the Geneva conventions, and a simple human right.

But of course, we know that such people are really not proponents of Democracy or anything. They're just full of hot air!

This hypocritical position can hardly be explained. Such people might be politically challenged and unaware of the whole political process. Young, naive, and ignorant. That's the only possible excuse for such poor judgement.

Recently, in Sweden, in the city of Malmo. Demonstrators protested the presence of the Israeli tennis team and greeted them with shoes and anti-Zionist chanting. Apparently, there are a lot of great people in Sweden who know how to side with the victims.

To those amazing people, a Huge salute. And for the little idiots, shut up and learn some history. You're exposing your idiocy more and more every day.

Thousands showed up, not to spectate at the tennis event. But to demonstrate against the atrocities that Israel has committed and continue to commit against the Palestinian people.

So without any further ado, to detect fake democracy advocates.... All you don't have to look that far, just look around, and you'll find them in ship loads. They're pro democracy as long as it converges with their best interest, or ulterior motives of smearing Islam, or Religion for example. But when it's against what them. It becomes riots and "uncivilized" demonstrations

Easiest litmus test ever!

Memories....

I do partially agree, but I didn't see a point why a demonstration should take place at a tennis match. Sure, the team represents Israel, but the team players may have been against the war to begin with.

If a demonstration was taking place with the visit of Israel's PM I could definitely understand, but if there is a demonstration at a tennis match there might be as well a demonstration at every single Israeli "transaction" taking place.

Or am I missing a point/misunderstanding something?

The point I'm trying to make is that: People have the right to democratically oppose something. It's their right to do so, and they're not "uncivilized" and "savages" for doing so. Even if you don't agree with what they believe in, you have to agree on them expressing their rights

Israeli sportspeople as well as artists, as representatives of Apartheid in Palestine must be boycotted and protested against. There's absolutely no reason to pretend "normality" in regard to the Palestinian genocide by Israel.

One person, one vote! Don't come to Europe if you can't make friends in the Middle East: we don't want you here either.

There are civilized ways of protesting (who, what, where, and how it's done) and there's throwing shoes at athletes -- to praise shoe-throwers is to show that you need a few lessons in civilization yourself.

I think protesters, generally, are not so much interested in democracy or in whatever they happen to be "protesting" as they are interested in shirking work. Many protesters that I have witnessed don't seem to have jobs, or access to running water, though they do seem to have a plentiful supply of illegal drugs and a strong disregard for social norms or polite speech. Therefore, when bad things happen to protesters, I'm not particularly sympathetic. There are more polite, orderly ways to get things done, like bribing your local congressman to support whatever crazy ideas you have.

Myself, I think democracy is best lubricated with high-volume water cannons.

Well Qwaider I think Nizar didnt say people are not allowed to protest, he just complianed about that way of protesting. I have lately also realised that some of the arabs dont know how to protest, It is fine to stay and chant and somehow disturb the game, but it is not ok to destroy police cars. the news here was yesterday about the protest and I saw that they were protesting in a savage way. a not civilized way. destroying cars is not the answer.
I wrote lately also about those who do not know how to protest and start chanting "خيبر خيبر يا يهود " missing with that the real point of protesting. someone chanting this needs a lesson in religion.
I do not find him as a fake democracy advocate just because of his opinion here, he may be, but not because of this.

Thanks MD
First of all, the demonstrators didn't even have a majority of Arabs.
Second, not all demonstrations are violent and call for death and destruction. Most are demanding to be heard in the most democratic way
Third, why is it when a demonstration is against Israel people like Nizar start preaching us on "Civility" but when demonstrators and rioters ransack through the streets of cities all over the world. We don't even bother talking about it?

For me, Nizar is the epitome of ignorance, political hypocrisy, and bias AGAINST everything that is Arab, Islamic or Palestinian. It only takes a human to realize how to side with victims and not aggressors.

How else could he fit with his social group? By engaging his alikes you acknowledge their existence as important beings when in fact ignoring them is the best solution. He has no audience except his ego and a couple of ego masseuses(probably would reply to this comment by his visitor log), he has no influence whatsover, thus ignore his alikes. When you engage ignorants they bring you down with them.
