Ok I accept that you are just a well meaning critic of Israel at least in the case of the flotilla, but you are still wrong because Israel had no choice.

As for the actual number of pro Israeli demonstrators, I say: Who cares ... The fact is that Israel has millions of sympathisers in the west but they don't necessarily get involved in hysterical demonstrations like the pro Arabs. In fact, I would say that pro Israelis are the silent majority, especially since September 11, 2001.

Are you saying there was no demonstration at all on Israel's behalf on June 10th in Helsinki?

**Slonopotam845** · 12-06-2010, 12:41 PM

No. I'm living in the heart of Helsinki.
There was a very big demonstration against Israel.
Finns don't forget this.

So, I wonder if the photos in the article were from a different demonstration on a different day?

**Ifroham4** · 12-06-2010, 01:32 PM

I cannot even find a Finnish news report about it. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. Did it really happen in the middle of Helsinki while all the anti-Semite somalian, arab, turkish, kurdish massive watching? Impossible.

Why do I think that you seem to be in denial mode....?

**Raj_Copi_Jin** · 12-06-2010, 10:54 PM

By the way, in Australia too there are plenty of voices of sanity who came out in support of Israel. NOT all people are stupid and not everyone is willing to let themselves be blinded and fooled by the unholy alliance of Islamists and some western leftist useful idiots (as well as old fashioned anti-semites who are not useful idiots but just plain old haters).

because ynet says there were thousands of people in the middle of Helsinki and I didn't witness it or find a news report. If I had a chance I would attend with my Jewish wife. I'm not in denial mode and I believe it's awesome if this happened after the muslim rally.

**Big A** · 12-07-2010, 01:22 AM

I am from Helsinki too and there was a pro-Israel demonstration as well as a anti-Israel demonstration. The pro-Israel demonstration was supposedly assaulted by some anti-Israel folk according to my father, who did not attend but knows people who did.

Umm, yeah, they weren't on the same day.

I had a green "Israeli Defence Forces" t-shirt with yellow text and assaulted by some middle eastern looking guys in "Tiikeri".
