    Nah, just utter disdain for their nest of vipers coalition of the killing giving free reign to their Zion@zi Revenge Forces to slaughter the innocents, attack barely functioning hospitals incessantly, bringing their pestilence down upon all Palestinians as the US B@stard Nation, EU and of course the Balfour Brits cheer them on and supply these sub-human entities with endless high-yield military deathware and logistics etc all the while!
    But the cresent moon will soon shift again and then Beelzebub’s chosen apostates will soon be getting what’s long overjew and owed to them for every last martyr of this latest Nakba-Genocide and to the complicit US and EU etc.
    Those who showed no mercy will beget no mercy, it shall be their hospitals, temples of mockery and schools hit often and harshly!!

    So many disgusting comments here revelling and sneering at the arson.
    Happy to fan the flames and justify it but would just as quickly turn the other cheek and lament if people were injured. I see you.

    @Alan:
    Their security consultants reckon the pyromaniac arse-units of EDL/UFF wannabes and The Oirish Lite Brigade should soon be rounded up for summary punishment most dire, maximum sentences in most cases, especially for the ’7′ or so leaders poisoning the minds of other lowly lit pups, thatvseek to desocrate our flag that belongs to no free(load)staters!
    Especially not these ill-faith/fated single issue toe-rags of virtue none with way too much interweb time etc on their craven idle hands!
    All are being mionitored ho-ho-ho so closely and and will be getting their come-uppings in no uncertain terms or cμntditions when these entities least expect it, yet aptly thus!

    Arsonist thug “Concerned” citizens set fire to building earmarked for people who are homeless. Maybe a good thunderstorm might cool their hateful actions.
    People should be more concerned about somebody burning a building because they don’t like who might be living there than some dark skinned people who might be passing the road.

    @Alan B: you know absolutely nothing. You get your information from social media hacks who always have racist agenda. Quoting stupid stuff from other countries which has zero relevance doesn’t make you look like you’re clever or knowledgeable. It makes you populist and being that way make you feel like you are correct but you’re not. Burning properties which are to house homeless people is not clever, no matter how much u try to butter it up.

    @Sam Son: of course the arsonist, xenophobic supporting bootlickers, won’t see an issue that someone burning a building, that may house someone they don’t know or like is more danger to a community than a brown person walking a country road.
