Might be controversial, but having looked at the Orange Order's own website, I wouldn't want them parading around my area. I wouldn't want to associate with members. What I read was hypocritical and vile. I'm not a Catholic, in fact grew up in a non-conformist household.

Absolutely this 👇. I believe Netanyahu has always been looking for an excuse to annihilate Palestinians using Hamas as an excuse. It's why he allowed funding to reach Hamas to undermine any chance of a united Palestinian leadership under the PA. The PA has issues but could have been sorted out.
