Abu Dayya sources some of his flags from suppliers in Taiwan,
but he buys Israeli flags from a merchant in Israel, even though
he sells them to be burnt at anti-Israeli rallies.

Flag-making has been a growth business for Abu Dayya for years,
thanks to orders by Palestinian militant groups for national flags and banners bearing the symbols of armed factions.

Last year, he said the Palestinian Authority ordered 60,000 flags
ahead of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza. Workers at one factory
stitched some 3,000 pennants a day.


Abu Dayya, I wonder what his username on HG is??? :evil:

The French have the right idea .... keep religion out of public education. If you want a religious education for your kids then go private. I was at a "non-denominational" school ... so we only got the Scripture Union loonies hassling us.

I'm against religious tolerance! I have no tolerance for any of them.

Totally agree with you. If you want religion go to a church/chapel/mosque/whatever. Schools are for education, not indoctrination!

First They Came for the Jews

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

Not as much as the hopeless pipe dreams of capitalism. Socialism doesnt work. Capitalism doesnt work even more ::):
