In 1947, our great nation had anti-Jewish riots. This was because of the murder of two British army sergeants by Irgun paramilitaries in Palestine. The Irgun killed the two sergeants and hung their booby-trapped bodies in a eucalyptus grove near Netanya.
This is no justification for the appalling riots that happened afterwards.
The reason I make this post is because many on the right have posted images of British soldiers from the second world war implying that they did not fight for the right to protest, or if they did, not the right for protestors to defend Christians in Palestine.
Working towards peace in The Holy Land involves learning from history, not forgetting it so we repeat mistakes from the past. We can learn lessons from what has happened in history where peace has resulted, examples being Northern Ireland. Here is hoping that a just peace can happen.
