One presumes – given that we were not allowed inside - arguing for a Palestinian Bantustan statelet and the primacy of Israeli ‘security concerns’ over the right to Palestinian self-determination. ... read full story / add a comment

In contrast Ryan was greeted with constant rounds of applause and standing ovations throughout his speech. ... read full story / add a comment
