So... no one had a problem with ISIL... but they all seemingly had a problem with Israel, with none of them thinking Hamas is anything but cool. Shows that you don't have to be very clever to study at Berkley.

I have a problem with Israel, and also dislike Hamas (although can be justified in some cases), and ISIS are disgusting. Honestly what these people are thinking idk.

Tbh though you'd have to be pretty stupid to take him seriously when he was doing the ISIS flag waving, most people would have just rightly thought he's taking the piss and being a bit of an idiot

And they'd be right. He was taking the piss and being an idiot when he got the Israeli flag out too, but they seemed to take offence at that.

Only Hamas can be justified in some cases? I think Israel were perfectly justified yesterday when they killed two Palestinians who entered a synagogue, murdered four people and injured lots more.

Yeah it was pretty stupid on their part, I guess it's because Israeli support is more likely than ISIS support it was harder to see past the fact he was taking the piss both times

And they didn't recognise the ISIS flag, probably.

In any case it was a pretty pointless exercise.
