Anti-Israel protesters rally across France, defying ban imposed after synagogue clash

You are a party pooper.

Ha! Back when I lived in Israel a long time ago I didn't give a rat's ass about politics. I really didn't want to be there actually. I kind of got talked into it. Anyways I was out chasing them sweet things. It's pretty much all I cared about. Party! Party! Party! Like all religious places there is a underground delicious rebellion. Fortunately things were pretty peaceful when I was there. Shit there were so many guns everywhere whoever tried anything was going to be shot to pieces.

Pretty much. It's all bullshit. Let's call it for what it is. Racist. We can't pull this shit in the US but we can send billions of dollars to Israel so they can do it. Then you have the ADL to intimidate anyone who speaks out and AIPAC to bankroll US politicians. I hope there is a lesson to be learned with all this blood and I hope all this blood is what will finally shut up the ADL and pull the rug from underneath AIPAC.

In many ways the Israeli government is now worse than the South African one during the days of apartheid ever was.

The billions in aid the US is a clever ruse because by making it in the form of weapons, it then becomes a stick to beat lots of congressmen into shape.

'If you object to us killing Palestinian children not only will you lose funding from the Israel lobby but you could also lose jobs in the defense industry in your State.'

Hey, I never said I wouldn't give them a Kosher sausage to snack on. I just said they probably weren't descended from Abe, Ike, and Jake.

Sometimes you just have to say fuck politics and just be a simple heathen.

Exactly. I mean, this is a site dedicated to the king of hedonism, right?? I understand politics has its place here...but holy hell, let's at least drink a couple (several) beers and have a laugh every now and then. And that's not directed at Ford - I'm speaking in general. Jesus, it's like a damn library in here most of the time.

What happened in the US is we outsourced our commercial industries. We actually outsourced our pollution and gave it to China. Due to our very high corporate taxes, our corporations now have their headquarters in foreign countries like Ireland and pay lower taxes. We've become a war economy. The best and brightest students get jobs in the military contractor industries.

It's the problem Eisenhower pointed out. We built up a huge war machine because of World War II and we never scaled it back. I thought after the break up of the Soviet Union NATO would have been disbanded and we would spend less on the military. Nope. We just stirred more shit to justify it. I think by now everyone is not buying it but you see now they are trying to bring the big menacing Russian bear back to scare everyone to keep the game going. It's bullshit.

Nobody is going to agree on the politics anyways and short of voting or starting a revolution it's all bullshit that has no effect on the world situation what so ever. Let's see more landing strips!

[Nitro Express]

Anyways. A truly meaningful life is shitting bigger than the other guy and telling people who don't like it "Fuck You!" That's rock and roll.

[Nitro Express]

I vote for the Revolution!!

Let's start the "FUCK YOU!" revolution.

Let's start the "FUCK YOU!" revolution.

Will there be hot Cuban chicks lighting our cigars?

A German astronaut managed to capture the Gaza war zone from space while aboard the International Space Station. He called it his “saddest photo yet.”



Alexander Gerst, a German flight engineer, geophysicist and volcanologist, spread the news with a short tweet on Wednesday, as the ISS was on a flyby over Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory. The image went viral.

One can clearly see the spots in which the yellowish glow of exploding targets is more prominent than elsewhere.

“From the International Space Station we can actually see explosions and rockets flying over Gaza and Israel,” He wrote on his Facebook fan page late last night, with a German translation underneath.

The ESA astronaut is currently on the 57th day of his mission, together with Russian commander Maksim Surayev and American engineer Reid Wiseman.

Israel is currently in the midst of an all-out assault on Hamas positions in the Gaza Strip – an operation that has recently gone into a new phase, as escalating hostilities and ground warfare bring the death toll to 700.

There are casualties on both sides, but the overwhelming majority is Palestinian, 80 percent of them civilians, according to a recent UN report.
