Callous though it is, I'm amazed that anyone in my year has the time and inclination for this at this time of year. I suppose if they've taken course materials in with them it might be on a par with spending three straight days in the library. | |

No chance in hell the Uni is severing links with BAE Systems. They're probably the biggest (at least among the biggest) funder of research in the computing and engineering departments.
I also can't think of any major platform that the Israeli's buy from BAES but obviously there are millions of pounds worth of targetting systems, launch mechanisms, radar parts etc. that are sold to them. We buy alot of optics and the like from Israel, they've got a very advanced laser industry.

Hamas /= the palestinian people. (Why wouldn't you expect people to express support or sympathy for the side thats being disproportionatly slaughtered?)
Or to put it another way...
The fact that the British government went to war with Iraq does not mean that you or I deserve to be blown up in the unlikely event of a terrorist attack. | |

Look at it?
Understand it?
The position of moral equivalency is misguided and most people have recognised this now.
Also why don't people just feel they can say they are bored of this or don't understand it rather then participating in a tedious and predictable backlash against the Palestinians? | |
