mickey finn Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 bit off topic , but why does Bob Marley sing about Zion ?

Yeah thats how I always understood it. 'Lion' in the song was referring to the Lion of Judah (Haile Selassie), and 'Zion' was The Promised Land (Ethiopia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil752 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Quite a revealing insight into far right, racist and islamophobic Britain First ( the group made up of mainly ex bnp and ukip,etc) and its links with foreign parties.. Far-right Britain First fosters ties with Zionist movement https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-winstanley/far-right-britain-first-fosters-ties-zionist-movement Where in the article you quoted did it mention UKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
