Israel

Thanks for that, never seen real footage like that before...

[alfie]

ostensibly we invaded iraq for flouting un resolutions and possessing wmds, when can we expect to see us tanks rolling into tel aviv?

[feral witchchild]

Wow.

[Firkles]

Yeah Israel is fucked up but if I were gay, a woman or both, I'd rather live in Israel than Palestine. Basically it's just another example of how fucked up humans are. The daft thing is it is quite common to see Jewish and Arabic children playing together.

Kids being kids:

Sometimes it is children who show adults how simple understanding between Israelis and Arabs can be. The documentary "Bridge over the Wadi" reveals the ups and downs of a joint Arab-Israeli school project. Petra Tabeling reports

Adults being adults:

A number of gay Palestinian men are risking their lives to cross the border into Israel, claiming they feel safer among Israelis than their own people.

That's true. I've met a gay Israeli arab, but I've never met a gay Palestinian arab. But regardless of how much we may disagree with certain aspects of their society, they still have a right to not be bullied and intimidated by the army. I am vehemently anti-Islam, I am also Jewish, by the fact my mother is a secular Jew, but I still think what the institution of Israeli is doing is wrong.

If the Palestinian Army behaved like that in a predominantly Israeli village, what would they be labeled (after they were killed)? Terrorists, no doubt.

I totally agree, man, but why would 'we' want to stop Israel behaving the way we do when we can sell them billions of pounds of arms?

edit: I also think there's a certain degree of paranoia that unless you're an Israeli Jew is very hard to understand, with the lolacaust something that happened in living memory and a thousands of years of persecution being drilled into you day in and day out from an early age. etc. etc.

I tell you what is funny though, the Palestinian version of Micky Mouse

Utterly mental, so far off the map you'd be forgiven for thinking it was satire:

And to balance things out, here's gorgeous george fucking nailing Sky News:



Final one:




It's all fucked up.

human race is a sick fail

Edit: Nvm. lawl

human race is a sick fail

Nah, we can be utterly beautiful and makes me wonder if there is a benevolent god for want of a better word. It's when we form groups we sometimes end up being sick. Humans are fucked up but there's too much beauty in the world to write us off, mate.

[alien pimp]

human race is a sick fail

Nah, we can be utterly beautiful

that's exactly why human race is a sick fail, for wasting this huge beautiful potential. the counter-examples are the exceptions confirming the rule

for each good thing ever made there is one kid killed because greed, craziness, hate, gods, and all that

i know you want to keep your optimism up, hard to accept statements like mine, but i think you should rather focus on protecting and loving the good people around instead of wasting your love on this sick race

I would not do what I do if I thought that way, I aim to help others regardless of what they have done. Hate breeds hate and in the grand scheme of things my work is nothing but if I save one person and improve their life and their loved ones I will die on peace and a very hAppy man. I honestly believe that 99% of people are good people but I am aware there people out there who do not fit into my beleif.

lol if you'll go through a lot of disappointments in life remember about me

[cyberneticghost]

I have to say that firky in all his incarnations has to be one of my favorite DSF memebers. I cannot believe that mickey mouse video though. It honestly told it's viewers that the goal is to annihilate the Jews. I mean wtf..... Are you sure the translation is accurate?

A friend of me moved to Israel on the 1st of Jan. He's staying there for aprox. 1 year, doing volunteer work as a gardener in one of the small communities called Kibbutz. He said it was pretty funny and they have banana milk.

liveleak is good for stuff like this

I'd say more than 99% of people are good people. It is must be innate to the Human Race to do good or society would fail.
