Endelig fikk jeg muligheten til å være med på en av de største begivenhetene som skjer i Oslo; nemlig fakkeltog! Såvidt jeg ble informert var det siste fakkeltoget av noe størrelse her i byen i forbindelse med USAs invasjon av Irak for over 5 år siden. Før det var det vel i forbindelse med Benjamin-saken, det er ihvertfall det jeg husker best.
Det var en grusomt kald opplevelse siden jeg hadde utelatt ullsokkene idag, så jeg var egentlig veldig dårlig forberedt for fakkeltog, men rakk ikke hjem for å ta på superundertøyet etter jobb dessverre. Uansett ble det en verdig, minneverdig og fredelig markering (jeg gikk dessverre glipp av all action som skjedde i forkant av toget..).
Fakkeltoget var forøvrig arrangert til minne for ofre i en krig i Israel eller noe sånt.

We need to remember the struggle of the jewish people and the millions that were executed by the Nazi and Arabic terrorists organizations who continue to pledge for the destruction of Isreal and the Jewish people at whatever cost, to include the murder of their own people.
There’s a lot of events every year dedicated to remembering holocaust.
Even though your comment may indicate so, I hope you don’t seriously mean that the jewish percecution during 2nd world war justifies Israels horrid crimes against humanity the last few days?
I read your last sentence as irony, but it was a nice post.
I don’t like demonstrations, but I liked the torchlight procession. I was amazed at how peaceful it went. Then came the media and completely overran reality by focusing on the vandalism conducted by unemployed Arabic youth. FUD, anyone?
Here’s me post:

Sigg3: Flying rocks, streets filled with gas and people running away from police officers makes better TV pictures than a bunch of people marching in the streets with torches. 😉
What I really don’t get about these demonstrations, is the tendency that it evolves into a riot.
I came over this video http://www.abcnyheter.no/node/81028 where a Norwegian citizen tries to understand why they are burning up stuff in the city, only to be provoked and attacked by a smoke canister.
I don’t care what the demonstration is about when it comes to these terms. As the police states, the demonstration had nothing to do with Gaza when it escalated to a riot.
