No idea - I didn't write it :p
Really interesting comment piece in the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/commentis...curity-council |
That Guardian piece,

But the key is the word "could", which means it's possible but everyone, including the author, knows it won't. For shits and giggles let's say the ICC investigates, ruminates, and castigates. Israel says fuck you. Now what, send an officer of the court to handcuff Israel and bring them to justice? Tell them to pick up bread, milk, and Putin on their way back. :rolleyes: Despite all the civilized trappings like the U.N., ICC, and various international do-gooder groups, the reality remains, what you're powerful enough to take and hold, is yours. Maybe even more so today with most people wary of starting WW III |

Oh, the humanity ... must've stepped on the edge of a tunnel ... launch another offensive!

A newspaper article published in Saudi Arabia by a writer with ties to the Saudi royals, spells out why the Saudis want peace between Israel and Gaza.

Is it because it's just so boring? The same old bullshit in the Middle East?
Terrorists are terrorists and Israel is reacting justly, but overreacting yet again. Bastards kill one of ours, and we kill 100 of theirs. They both suck. In the latest round with Lebanon, Israel didn't crush Hezbollah, so Hezbollah counted that as a victory. Now Israel is doing the same thing with Hamas. Is Hamas going to consider this a victory? What was Israel's goal? Did they find all the tunnels? Did they seize all the rockets? Did they assassinate all the Hamas leaders? Is the mission accomplished yet? One thing they did for sure is drive home the lesson in another generation of Palestinian youths that Israel is the enemy. Insert Foot's video here. |
Maybe. But maybe it's more of a general thing. My bosses are slightly political at work and I don't lean in exactly the same direction they do, and I just want to figure out a way to get along and still earn their favor.
Also it seems to me that, in life, nobody has asked my opinion about much of this stuff, so maybe I should not be so gung-ho about spouting it. I dunno. |

Agreed. Israel shoulda 'got up early and went and killed them first'. |
Interesting comment piece in today's Guardian (US edition)

So if the general understanding is that no one really has a legitimate claim to the land, as illustrated in foot's video, then the traditional rule is whoever can hold it keeps it. Let them go at it.
If you still live in Gaza, you're an idiot who deserves to die. If you think that living in Jerusalem near the West Bank is better than living in New York City, where there are almost twice as many Jews as there are in Jerusalem anyway, you're an idiot who deserves to die. Anyone intelligent would move themselves and their family the fuck away from that part of the world. Anyone who is still there at this point is driven purely by ideology, on both sides, and they can all kill each other for all I care. And frankly, yes, if we're going to support one side or the other, I'd vote for supporting the side that doesn't also hate the Great Satan America. We've had--currently have, in fact--far worse bedfellows. I'll reserve my outrage for when actual innocents die, which includes no one over there. (And yes, the children on both sides are in theory innocent, but stupid parents have always gotten their children killed. Better for the gene pool that way.) |
