For the attention of "Revolution" and Leeds Palestinian "Occupiers":
As the subject suggests, I and the majority of Leeds University find you incredibly irritating. If you're not trying to ban the OTC, you're handing out class warfare leaflets, if not that, then demolishing capitalism or smashing the BNP. One thing for sure is that you're ALWAYS banging on about Palestine.
You aren't going to end it. The only person who has a hope in hell is Obama, and even then its a slim chance. You especially aren't going to end the Israel-Palestine conflict by occupying Botany House. I mean, really, get a life.
You are a disgrace to the University, to British society and to yourselves. The rest of the student populace are heartily sick of Jack Straw's name being defaced for the billionth time, the Army being kicked off campus and more to the point, this conflict.
Its a pointless, divisive feud. You aren't helping.

Here here, well said!!! I especially like their demand about incurring "No repercussion, legal or otherwise for activists". I hope the university finds a way of expelling these irritating little wankers from their degrees.

I was considering responding to that, but considering there is nothing of merit in it, it's quite difficult. As johnb said - cheers for the compliment though! We work hard!
I'd like to have this discussion over a drink sometime if you're up for it? What's your name?

Oh, and for clarification, Revolution is a Socialist youth group, built in the political vein of Trotskyism, i.e with the eventual tactic of armed insurrection by the working class against the state. Nothing Hippy about us.
Wankers definitely. Annoying maybe. Hippy? Never.

First off well said "me".
8 fat, sweaty, ugly, greasy haired politics students does not constitute the ~35 000 student population.
My question is did you lose your balls? I find it amusing that as an after thought to your demands, you expect no repercussions from the university or the law. If you really gave a toss and believed in your fight, you wouldnt care about the consequences.
P.s Where are you going to the toilet in there?

I don't think the majority of people find them irritating, I support the occupation and I many even join it.
I do think that sometimes the class warfare leaflets are over-done. Class differences are getting smaller and working class people are more likely than ever to overcome barriers to a successful life. Their signs about bankers is true though - I've spoken to many of them, most of whom are arrogant pricks that need to be brought down to size. With the BNP, bashing them will only give them more support, ignoring them, unless they say/do something really disgusting, will put them back to being irrelevant. About the army recruiting, I have no problem with that seeing as most University students are mature enough to make their own decisions about them.
If you actually stop by the occupiers and ask them why they are having this protest and what they aim to achieve, you might actually be pleasantly surprised.

I know a majority of jewish students feel distinctly uncomfortable with a sign saying victory to the intifada which was a terrorist attack after terrorist attack on israel carried out by groups such as Islamic Jihad , Hamas and the Al Asqa martyrs with the sole aim of killing people just for being jewish.

Jewish students should not be offended, not all Jews are zionists, despite what Israeli supporters say.
The Palestinian resistance are defending themselves because they have seen their children literally melt in front of them due to Israel's white phosphorous attacks.

Steven: Your first link quotes IDF people - yeah, as if I'm going to believe them. Aren't they the same people that denied firing at a UN School, and then said there were militants firing from the school, and then the story changed to militants firing from NEAR the school. I'm more likely to believe Hamas.
Its also amazing that your second link provides no evidence whatsoever for these claims (in comparison to the whole load of evidence showing white phosphorus shells that were inside the UN school, which was full of civilians, and no Hamas militants). Its also funny how, its never been mentioned since - you people cherish the chance to vilify the Palestinians.
As for the third link, an opinion peace from the New York Times, a newspaper known for its 'non-biased' reporting of the Middle East conflict. Give me a break! It would be convenient for you to have Hamas as the super-villain terrorist group, the same way let's say, Al-Qaeda is. The reality is that, they're both completely different. Hamas is more in the same league as the IRA - they can be persuaded to make peace.

oh im sorry unlike you i dont compare israel a democratic state to a group who supports jew killers hamas . the un does not even check if there members are members of hamas for christ sake - last year for example a guy who was the head of a unwra school was moonlighting as a hamas rocket launcher .
please tell me why is israel not allowed to defend itself. It's clear you didn't bother to read the pieces - closed mind i guess i mean i accept a two state solution you accept a solution where israel wont exist .

hamas shames the same goals as al quaeda a world islamist caliphate - read what's left it shows how the left allies itself with groups like hamas and al quaeda with your defending of hamas your a prime example.
as far as i know the IRA whilst a vile organisation never called for the destruction of england.
