Thank you M for sending this material in.
Maybe an expert out there can tell us if the gun is real at 54 seconds and 1:45?
The Geopolitical think tank Stratfor, to which I used to subscribe, once detailed how you could gauge the severity of protests with a few yardsticks. One of which, was when guns started being brought to protests in Europe. Of course they are used here as props but in nations where ownership and management of firearms has fairly strict laws, it is quite an act of defiance of local authority if indeed they are real. I am pretty confident the AK-47 in the French demo this weekend was. Not sure about this pistol.
The one below is interesting. Its in Austria and is about Gaza and Israel but the speaker is using English. Of course the fact that none of the claims are true in any of these videos and there is zero evidence of Israeli soldiers going in and shooting Gazan children seems secondary to the other aspects of these protests. If there was such evidence, it would be shown in abundance I am sure.
Someone should tell this woman that if she wants children in Gaza to stop being killed they should stop using them to protect the weapons being used to attack Israel.
OT – Yikes! I’m off-line less than a day & there’s so much to catch up on!
Everything about Palestinian nationalism is a pale immigration of Zionism including this protest which directly copies a pro-Israeli one from London recently:

Re. the guns; it’s difficult to tell from this clip – replicas can be very convincing from an exterior perspective but still be non-functional and thus quasi-legal internally.
On the other hand the four, dancing white shirted young boys who appear twice could well be being trained as human minesweepers and used as such as were so many thousands of poor Iranian children during the Iraq-Iran war.
The depths of inhumanity to which the Imams, Ayatollahs and the all of the other high priests of Islam and their countless hordes of mindless followers are capable of plumbing are beyond the comprehension of even the most barely civilised of human minds.
We are not dealing here with something that to the non-enslaved is rationally comprehensible. Islam is a ravening disease of the mind that cannot be cured by any means within our limited knowledge of how it came about and how it has managed to sustain for fourteen centuries unchanged, unchanging and unchallenged from within.
And, as we cannot cure it, our only chance of survival, of not becoming infected ourselves by hesitating and prevaricating in the hope that it will die out of its own accord, is to swiftly and clinically eradicate it using the most humane instruments at out our immediate disposal.
Any other course of action will, at best, eventuate in our species being for ever trapped in an evolutionary Cul-de-sac or, at worst, simply ceasing to exist at all.
Sleep well and, when you awake, look to your children and think hard.
ISIS magazine Al Mustaqbal being handed out at Indonesian mosques along with ‘vouchers for fried chicken’ (dailymail, Aug 10, 2014)
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2721199/ISIS-magazine-Al-Mustaqbal-handed-Indonesian-mosques-vouchers-fried-chicken.html
“Images showing an ISIS magazine being circulated in Indonesia have emerged, with reports that the magazines and accompanying brochures are being handed out at mosques in the province of Java.
The third edition of Malay language publication Al Mustaqbal was released last month by the jihadist group, and is based on the theme of ‘Islamic State Undercover’, according to the magazine’s website.
The site, when translated to English, says the latest edition – which features a man waving the ISIS flag high above his head on the cover – ‘explores history, development, creed and manhaj (the Islamic methodology by which truth is reached)….”
British jihadi who went to fight for ISIS after he was sacked from Primark is killed in Syria (dailymail, Aug 10, 2014)
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2721125/British-jihadi-went-fight-ISIS-sacked-Primark-killed-Syria.html
“A former supervisor at Primark who became a terrorist fighting for the world’s most feared terrorist group has been killed in Syria. Muhammad Hamidur Rahman, 25, was one of an estimated 500 Britons who went to Syria to fight for the Islamic State of Iraq and Sham (ISIS)…..
Rahman, from Portsmouth, was shot dead in a gun fight a fortnight ago, a day before the Muslim festival if Eid, said his family. His father, Abdul Hannan, 52, an Indian restaurant worker, said the family received a text message from a friend of Rahman in Syria who informed them that their son was dead.
The latest killing brings the death toll of British jihadists in Syria to 19, according to terrorism experts at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR) at King’s College, London, which monitors the war in Syria.
Rahman is the second British jihadist from Portsmouth to die in Syria….”
Recep Tayyip Erdogan wins Turkish presidential election (BBC, Aug 10, 2014)
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28729234
“Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has won his country’s first direct presidential election. With almost all the votes counted, Mr Erdogan had won about 52%, against 38% for main rival Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu. The huge margin of victory means there is no need for a run-off.
Mr Erdogan, who has vowed to bolster the power of the president, promised supporters a “social reconciliation period”, saying: “Let’s leave the old discussions in the old Turkey.” He added in the speech in Ankara: “Today, not only those who love us, but also those who don’t have won. Today Turkey has won.”
The veteran leader, who has spent three terms as prime minister, is revered by supporters for boosting the economy and giving a voice to conservatives.
But his critics lament his authoritarian approach and Islamist leanings in a secular state, says the BBC’s Mark Lowen in Ankara…”
France bombs Islamists in north Mali (BBC, Aug 10, 2014)
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28731638
“French forces have bombed Islamist militant positions in northern Mali.
Four or five bombs were dropped in the Esssakane region, west of the city of Timbuktu on Sunday morning, the BBC’s Alex Duval Smith in Mali reports.
The UN has said al-Qaeda militants were active in the area. Last month Timbuktu airport came under rocket attack.
France intervened in Mali in January last year to try to drive out al-Qaeda-linked groups, which had taken over the north of the country.
Last month the French government said it was setting up a new military operation to stop the emergence of jihadist groups in the Sahel region of Africa.
Both ethnic Tuareg separatists and al-Qaeda-linked militants are operating in northern Mali….”
Iraqi Kurdish leader Barzani seeks weapons to fight IS (BBC, Aug 10, 2014)
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-28730618
“The political leader of Iraq’s Kurds, Massoud Barzani, has appealed for international military aid to help defeat Islamist militants. The plea came as the US launched a fourth round of air strikes targeting Islamic State (IS) fighters near Irbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan. IS, formerly known as Isis, has seized swathes of territory in northern Iraq. Kurdish forces said they had regained control of two towns in Nineveh province after heavy fighting.
In another development, troops loyal to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki were deployed to strategic locations in Baghdad overnight, after he appeared on state TV criticising the president. Mr Maliki is seeking a third-term as prime minister but the crisis has prompted calls for his resignation…”
I guess the time has come our wise philosophers in charge tax us some more to compensate for all the “over-taxation” down there… How else are we going to stop these “Darwinian nightmares.”
Ebola virus: Liberia health system ‘overtaxed’ (BBC, Aug 10, 2014)
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-28731633
“Liberia’s information minister has admitted that the country’s health care system has been overwhelmed by the spread of the deadly Ebola virus. Lewis Brown told the BBC the system had been “overtaxed” by the outbreak, but that authorities were doing their best in the face of an unprecedented crisis.
The medical charity MSF said officials underestimated the outbreak and that the health system was “falling apart”. Nearly 1,000 people have died and 1,800 have become infected in West Africa.
The Ebola outbreak – the worst-ever – is centred on Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, but has spread to other countries in recent months…”
I am with you, I can’t tell if it is real or fake, it looks very real but I have a co2 powered BB pistol that looks almost exactly like that one.
More foreign convicts win right to stay: After all PM’s pledges to kick out criminals number avoiding deportation rose by 50% last year (dailymail, Aug 10, 2014)
http://dailym.ai/1sDFUsb
“The number of foreign criminals avoiding deportation rose by 50 per cent last year – despite repeated Government pledges to kick them out.
In total, 1,310 overseas convicts considered for removal were not sent home, up from 890.
Offenders not thrown out after serving their sentences included 15 murderers, five people guilty of manslaughter, 15 rapists, 140 robbers and 20 guilty of sex offences against children.
Foreign convicts are now avoiding deportation in one in three cases – a sharp increase on previous years.
In many instances, the criminals won the right to stay after lodging appeals, citing their human right to a family life in the UK, or other legal objections.
Last night, MPs said the revelations showed Britain’s border controls were ‘rotting away’.
They also heaped fresh pressure on the Conservatives to spell out exactly how they plan to unpick the harm being caused by Labour’s Human Rights Act and the European Convention on Human Rights….”
What strikes me about this video is the way the Moselems are depicting the anti-Islamic people of acting like the Islamic terrorists. I wonder how many people watching the video are going to think the IDF acts like the actors?
