Its been taken down now . Probably worried that the IDF would bomb them. You mean a misfiring rocket fired by Tower Hamlets might hit the Town Hall... Can't see any problem with flying a flag in this instance, personally.

I have a problem with it . Should not be allowed on public property . Tower hamlets has no connection with palestine . At this rate anyone can fly any flag they feel like .

I'm with Jim on this one, I had a relative who served in Palestine from 1945 -1947 with the British Army. He came from Wapping. (Which is Tower hamlets). We hardly remember the Jewish Irgun terrorists, or were they "Freedom Fighters"? who attacked British Soldiers and killed them, Google the "Sergeants Affair", two British Sergeants were kidnapped, tortured and hung, their bodies and the surrounding area booby trapped. This was one of many attacks by Jewish terrorists. http://www.britishforcesinpalestine.org/attacks.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_insurgency_in_Palestinehttp://www.britishforcesinpalestine.org/attacks/sergeants.htmlIt kind of sticks in the throat when I hear Israeli's talk of terrorists! Especially when you read of this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deir_Yassin_massacre BTW I am not anti-jewish far from it, but I think if you read the history of Palestine and the forced exodus, then you may understand why they feel aggrieved.

I live 4 miles form MULBERRY square JIM CLENNELL .Just shows you dont know much about Tower Hamlets . With your reckoning then lets have the Syrian Flag next week followed by the Ukrainian and in week three the Iraq Flag . You are aware that over 1700 people have died in one single week in the Syrian civil war or do you just cherry pick ?

I wasn't asking for the address, just the rough area, 4 miles from anywhere in London can be a long way from another.... Hell I grew up in Custom House, (E16) totally different area from Stratford (E15)..

Well mate the relevance is this: Never heard of MULBERRY square, you claim that by living within 4 miles of it, Jim knows nothing of Tower hamlets.... (Your words not mine), I am just curious, if it makes you any happier I lived in Throckmorton Road, E16, which is probably within 4 miles of Tower hamlets but isn't even remotely like it... So I am curious. basically do you live within the borough of Tower hamlets or not? Also where is MULBERRY Square? Never heard of it, googled it and same answer.

Well he was hardly going to be a bible thumping christian . Not only is he a muslim (not that a give a flying ) because if he had no religion i would feel the same but hes been thrown out of the labour party for his links to an islamic extremists group and vote rigging . So muslim or christian hes not a good character . My point Jim is you put one flag up you have to put them all up .I just like to add my friend from a couple of streets away who just happens to be muslim went to syria this time last year in a lorry convoy with humanitarian supplies for the refugee camp .

He's a politician, isn't he? Goes without saying... Personally my sympathies are with the Palestinians stuck in the middle - I have nothing but contempt for Hamas. But I don't think flying their flag from a public building is in any way representative of the feelings of the people that council is supposed to represent.

Exactly. If our Council decides to fly a flag, I sincerely hope it's Israel's Wasn't the catalyst for the recent escalation the abduction and murder of 3 young students?

If Israel want to shut down the tunnels from Gaza why don't they simply pour a load of concrete down them from their own end? It would be somewhat less controversial than their current actions.

I've nothing to add to the above except that it reminds me of this. I can't for the life of me recall where I was, other than that I haven't been out of the South East this week (damn, where did I leave my Aricept?) but I saw a guy riding a motorbike with a reasonably-large Palestinian flag, on a pole, strapped to the back. Made quite a visual statement.

I think that's a slight over-simplification, RK, but you knew that, right?
Possibly, but I used the term catalyst deliberately. Palestinians, be them Hamas, Hamas splinter groups or someone not under their control abducted and murdered 3 students, thereby providing the Israelis with "justification" to escalate the situation. There is no doubt the tunnels are as much a goal as stopping missile launches. It doesn't take someone with a History Honours Degree from Oxbridge to forecast that if you hit out at the Israelis there will be a very robust response. And traditionally those responses don't bode well for anyone under the bombs or in front of the guns, regardless of their status or affiliation. The Israelis are unlikely to adopt a position of apologising for existing and accepting their citizens are legitimate targets for terrorist actions any time soon.

You're absolutely right and the chances of Israel backing down in the face of condemnation - probably even by god himself - are around nil. The dreadful deaths of the 3 Israeli kids were utterly abhorrent, as was that of the Palestinian boy killed in revenge by Israelis. You used the term "catalyst", but "wildly out of proportion excuse" would fit too. But in the context of this discussion, I think it's ok for someone to fly a flag for a bit, even it's from a council flagpole.
