Anarchists Against the Wall awarded German human rights prize

[Scurrilous]

"A group that demonstrates every week against the fence separating Israel from the West Bank was handed a German human rights prize Sunday in Berlin.

The Bil'in Village Committee, made up of Palestinians, and Anarchists Against the Wall, an Israeli organization, were jointly awarded the Carl von Ossietzy Medal.

Representatives of the two groups gather from Palestine and Israel every Friday to protest against the wall and demand that Palestinians and Israelis be allowed to live side-by-side in peace."

1. I loved it when Greek anarchists burned the city's Christmas tree

The Christmas tree in central Athens was burned by anarchists protesting the murder of a teen by the police. So you see, anarchists are not such a bad bunch afterall.

2. Why is burning a Xmas tree a good thing?

Anarchist most certainly aren't all bad, but I hesitate to brand violent uprisings a good attribute of a movement, even if they are most certainly rioting for a good reason.

3. The violence was perpetrated by the government, killing a teenager

Burning a Xmas tree is a very good thing!

4. I don't support riots, the government messed up big time and it's time to call a election

More riots do not solve anything, I still don't see how burning a symbol of christianity (Or if you want to get into it, a pagan symbol adopted by christianity) is a good thing. I'd prefer that no religious symbols are burnt, by anyone.
